Obama’s impressive list of accomplishments

I know I do not, as a general rule, praise the current president of the United States. It's a flaw that I struggle to overcome daily.

Hence I was pleased to receive this handy list of the man's uncontested achievements via email this morning. I am placing them here so that all my readers will be able to benefit from it was well.

Enjoy.
