You ask what our twice-elected (legitimate) miracles-working President Obama was able to achieve, Byron. To fully comprehend the full magnitude of Barack Obama's achievements, you should reacquaint yourself with the nearly fatal destruction and devastation our nation was facing due to the fiscally insane, corporate-colluding, Koch-corrupted (Mayer, 2017) 2001-2008 Republican authoritarianism. A humorous parody for what the brand new President Elect Obama was facing can be found at the JIBJAB website: "He's Barack Obama!" that depicted him as a skinny, big-eared SUPER HERO taking on all of the GOP-created problems the U.S. was facing as of Day One for the Obama presidency. This parody, which was meant to be an exaggeration, turned out to be a vast understatement, however---some of the Bush/Cheney and GOP problems (like keeping war costs OFF THE BOOKS, to the tune of $5.2 TRILLION) were not uncovered on Inauguration day. And speaking of Inauguration day, January 20, 2009: Read Robert Draper's 2012 book: "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives" to learn about the TREASON committed by senior Republican lawmakers (named in the Draper book) during WAR TIME---Republican Senators and Congressmen who met in secret on Capital Hill in a meeting funded by Koch Donor Network, hosted by hate-monger Frank Luntz and Newt Gingrich, as Barack Obama was being sworn in as President to PLOT AGAINST our nation's first man-of-color hugely popular new President! Every GOP attendee took an anti-American oath to BLOCK EVERYTHING OBAMA, no matter how much merit...every nomination, every legislation proposed!!!
In spite of this, our nation-saving, auto-industry-rescuing, manufacturing-base rebuilding (see recovery.gov), jobs-creating (ongoing since Trump has had no budget in place until this past week)---79 consecutive months of private-sector jobs growth January 2017, and on into the first two years of Trump in our White House. The Obama team so secured our southern borders that by 2012 the influx of immigrants was at NET ZERO, something even candidate Jeb Bush applauded during the primaries of 2016. Barack Obama weaned the U.S. off of dependence on foreign oil, in part with his "Green Energies" initiative (recovery.gov), but also by doing environmental impact studies for the states that wanted to open up off-shore drilling...and then approving the sites that would not harm our environment. The GOP-caused housing and credit markets' collapse from 2005-2009 that cost millions of Americans their homes while simultaneously blighting urban neighborhoods across the country (lowering home values for other homeowners) was dealt with by the Obama team and programs were established (paid for by the bad-boy banksters and others involved in the MELTDOWN scandal due to GOP's deregulation/corporate collusion). When Barack Obama took office in 2009, the Republican-caused deficit (after Bill Clinton and his Democrat-controlled first Congress left office with a balanced U.S. budget plus a huge $362 billion SURPLUS as of January 20, 2001) was 10.6% of our GDP. By the end of his hugely productive RECESSION-REVERSING first term, President Obama had gotten that GOP-caused deficit down to 5.2% of the GDP, and still going down!
When asked by ABC news anchor Robin Roberts which of the world's religions his college-educated Ph.D. mom Stanley Ann Dunham had required him and his half-sister Maya to study (to teach tolerance and understanding) he had chosen, the erudite and brilliant President Obama replied, "I chose Christianity because I wanted someone to emulate"! This means that Barack Obama strives to be CHRIST-like in all that he does. As proof of this goodness, not even once did President Obama respond in kind to those Republicans who vowed to meanly block every legislation and every nomination.
