1. Passed Health Care Reform: Great idea, bad implementation. “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”. “If you like your plan you can keep your plan”. “This will lower health care cost in America”. DOOMED.
No one with any sense, thought they could keep their doctor if their insurance company decided not to do business with that doctor any longer. That is the same as it has always been. No one with any sense thought they could keep their plan if their insurance company decided to stop offering that plan. Insurance companies have always been able to discontinue plans. If Obamacare is doomed it is because Republicans have been sabotaging it for seven years,

7. Ended US Combat Missions In Iraq and Afghanistan. Yep, creating a fight with ISIS.
We had no business in Iraq. Hussein had nothing to do with 9-11. After we won, the Bush administration did the dumbest thing they could have done, telling the soldiers in the Iraqi army to go home and take their weapons with them. In Afghanistan, we had bin Laden surrounded and backed off so we could go fight in Iraq.



8. Turned Around the US Auto Industry. Bailed out GM with tax payer’s money, following poor judgment on the part of GMAC after entering the housing lending industry. Thanks Barney Franks (Dem).
Every penny of which was paid back with interest. I don't think any of the bailout money went to GMAC Housing lending which went bankrupt and liquidated in 2012.

20. Improved America's Image Abroad. By kissing their Arse. Had a painting of himself on a leash in Moscow.
I don't think treating people with respect is kissing their Arse; although that does seem to be a common opinion among Conservatives.

21. Left His Mark on the Federal Judiciary. With Judges who do not know the law. See ya in the Supreme Court. Just wasting time.
Civics lesson: The Law is not just what is in the Constitution. It is also case law, judicial decisions, common law and tradition.

22. Diversified the Federal Bureaucracy. You mean expanded.
The number of Federal Employees dropped by 259,000 during Obama's term.
BTW It has expanded by 21,000 during the first year of Mr. "I'm going to make government so small we can drown it in a bathtub."
24. Revived the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division. Yep, called the BLM.
That's too dumb to even dignify with an answer.
28. Kick Started Clean Energy Investment. Wonder how many of his buddies made money on that deal.
See 24 above.

29. Reduced the Threat From Nuclear Weapons. Except North Korea, who could now hit us with a Nuclear ICBM
If you have Nuclear threats from Iran and North Korea and you eliminate the threat from Iran by negotiating a strongly verifiable treaty; then you have reduced the threat. If you denounce that treaty, as the Moron in Chief has done, you increase the threat.

31. Cut Veteran Homelessness by Half. By allowing many of them to die waiting to see a doctor.
VA wait times is a major problem which is being addressed. But that affects all Veterans and the chances are homeless veterans are not trying to get in to see a doctor. The report that tracks veteran homelessness does not just count the number of veterans living on the street this year and subtract that from the number living on the street last year. It tracks those who have found housing.
35. Cut the Deficit. Blew the debt

43. Reduced Discrimination Against Former Prisoners in Federal Hiring. After all, we want more criminals running our government.
You got your wish, Donald Trump is now president.
46. Expanded Health Coverage for Children. Except those at Sandy Hook. Sandy Hook is the one thing that as President he should have done something about.
What the hell are you talking about?

47. Improved Food Safety. Was this accomplished by stopping imports from China?
It was accomplished by strengthening inspection procedures.

48. Let the Space Shuttle Die and Killed the Planned Moon Mission. Dooming future Americans to ride with the Russians.
This is one I could almost agree was not a positive. On the other hand the Space Shuttle was obsolete and companies like Space X seem to be doing a good job stepping in to fill the gap.

Just a few select answers.

What you meant was, "Just a few examples of regurgitating Righty propaganda.
