With his term as the President of the United States ending soon, we take a look at all the things Barack Obama has accomplished so far in various fields with his powerful position. Here's a list of his top 10 achievements in no particular order.
By the end of his first year, the economy created and sustained 2.1 million jobs and stimulated the economy by 3.5%.
President Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act which provided universal health care to 32 million uninsured Americans.
Obama has constantly been vocal about the effect of global warming on the planet and has done his part in trying to save it as much as possible. He signed Omnibus Public Lands Management Act (2009), which designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, created thousands of miles of recreational and historic trails, and protected more than 1,000 miles of rivers. He also appeared on Bear Grills' show to voice his concerns about the effects of global morming
In 2010, more jobs were created than had been created during Bush’s eight years and by April 2016, new unemployment claims hit their lowest level since November 1973.
He signed and implemented the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which made it a federal crime to assault anyone based on his or her sexual orientation or gender identity.
In a historic move against terrorism, Obama ordered the special forces to exterminate the Al- Qaeda leader which was a successful mission.
He made sure students got their federal student loans directly from the federal government which means the Treasury will save $67 billion over ten years, $36 billion of which will go to expanding Pell Grants to lower-income students.
By creating Recovery.org, he provided all the information to the public about where all the taxpayer's money was spent
Obama joined a coalition of European and Arab governments in military action against Gaddafi regime to defend Libyan civilians and overthrow Gaddafi. On February 1, 2011, publicly called on Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to accept reform or step down, thus weakening the dictator’s position and putting America on the right side of the Arab Spring.
After he ended the war, he ordered all the troops to leave Iraq and come back home.
His new rule would block states from defunding the family planning provider for political reasons.
An ambivert with a belief that being comfortable in one's own skin is a super power.
