Obama has a few positives to his credit

Just to show that I am objective here are Ten Things Obama has got right in his presidency 1. Removed the unnecessary restrictions on Stem Cell Research

2. Championed the Drone Strategy for assassination of Taliban Jihadists in Pakistan and Afghanistan (FYI though…The Drone strategy actually started under Bush).

3. Slapped Sony for caving into North Korea on the hacker issue (if indeed that is the full story….only time will tell).

4. Helped Israel (somewhat) access Steel Dome Missile protection system. Also limited his criticism of Israel during the last Gaza debacle.

5. Showed support for the Ukraine against Russian belligerency in the Crimea.

6. Maintained Robert Gates as Secretary of Defence during the crucial withdrawal period from Iraq.

7. Initiated the STEM program which will hopefully catalyze greater interest in science and technology for American students.

8. Obamacare – (on one level…yes) – I do believe that it will help those at the lowest income levels obtain the necessary health care protection that they need.

9. Gave the go ahead for the assassination of Osama Bin Laden

10. Helped rid the world of Muammar Gaddafi…although the alternative may be worse.
