Re: 2012 U.S. Presidential Election
The new poll is out. It shows Obama leading both Romney and Gingrich.
And here is my updated list of Obama's accomplishments for people to consider:
He has overhauled the food safety system;
Advanced women's rights in the work place;
Ended Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) in our military;
Stopped defending DOMA in court;
Passed the Hate Crimes bill.;
Appointed two pro-choice women to the Supreme Court;
Expanded access to medical care and provided subsidies for people who can't afford it;
Expanded the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP);
Fixed the preexisting conditions travesty [and rescissions] in health insurance;
Invested in clean energy;
Overhauled the credit card industry, making it much more consumer-friendly;
While Dodd-Frank bill was weak in many respects, it was still an extremely worthwhile start at re-regulating the financial sector;
He created a Elizabeth Warren's dream agency: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau;
He's done a lot for veterans;
He got help for people whose health was injured during the clean-up after the 9/11 attacks;
Vote Obama in 2012.
