You didn't answer the question. What did OBAMA accomplish?

A few things I like that he did off the top of my head:
ACA -- not good enough, but better than before by any objective measure. I have to say though -- its amazing how many people in the South say their healthcare went to shit. Specifically that region. It could just be politics but it might be more.
Banks out of
federal college loans -- Mitt would never agree. Considering were the only advanced country stupid enough to saddle our workforce with big college debt -- at least we could give them a decent interest rate.
the Iran Nuclear deal -- We are basically letting a right-wing neocolonial state (Israel) drive us to war with a huge region of the world (the middle east). The deal was the first sensible thing we did in a long time for stability in the long run.
Economic stimulus-- Republicans wouldn't have done this. It's too bad, because then we would have had another Hoover/FDR situation after everyone found out their bullshit austerity measures don't help depressed economies. Instead we elected a democrat, and Republicans had the very easy job to bitch about the 2009-12 economy and blame it on Obama.
My big problem with Obama is that he didn't do more of what he wanted to do. He also hasn't done shit with military contracts or budget. Or the military in general. The god damn military is getting out of control. This is what happened to Japan right up until they attacked Pearl Harbor. You can't let a military bureaucracy run a country.
