Created roughly 7 million more jobs than Bush, brought the stock market to record highs despite being given the worst economic shitbucket since the depression dumped on his lap. Doubled clean energy use, completed the first major step towards universal health care despite having EVERY Rethuglican working feverishly to block him. Pulled out of Iraq only to watch the final pieces of Bush's epic failure fall into place when ISIS sprung up. Got Bin Laden in just his third year in office and began the Afghanistan drawdown after 7 years of wasted lives, money, and resources by Bush with nothing to show for it. Worked to repair our foreign relations that Bush embarrassingly compromised. Reduced unemployment nearly 3% from when he took over, cut the deficit in half, and all the while presenting himself as one of the classiest, most professional leaders this country has had in the modern era and raising his family the same.
