‘Not since FDR has a president done so much to transform a country’
While visiting with friends and family over the weekend, a common question kept coming up when discussions turned to the Obama administration: "What has the President accomplished?" Maybe people in your life are wondering the same thing as well.
There are many lists out there already, but on Friday night Rachel Maddow did a segment clearly laying out what President Obama has accomplished in under two years in office, and it's worth checking out and passing along. She explained that the Obama Administration has achieved an uninterrupted series of changes that are “the biggest, the first, or most important in generations.” And Maddow agreed with CQ Politics reporter Taegan Goddard, who said that “not since FDR has any president done so much to transform the country.”
From the just-finalized Wall Street reform agreement to historic health reform, President Obama has made progress for the country that other leaders have tried—and failed—to Buy Cialis make for decades. But the list goes further—including bringing our economy back from the brink of collapse with the Recovery Act, signing a nuclear arms deal with Russia and keeping nuclear weapons away from terrorists, ensuring fair pay for women with the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and signing the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
It’s a great reminder of how much we’ve accomplished in the last 17 months and the historic nature of the work we’re doing every day.
