Well for brevity I will leave you with my top ten list of things that he has done for me, personally:
1) Created the foundation for an economic comeback that has allowed me to rebuild my business after Bush's economy crashed it twice.
2) Brought one of my cousins back from active duty after spending 3 of the last 4 years in deployment.
3) In less than a month I will be able to apply for Medical Insurance. As a soon to be 60 year old with diabetes this could add 10 years to my life.
4) Extended Temporary Protection Order for my Son in Law (of two weeks!) who arrived as a teenager from El Salvador after his family had been destroyed by the civil war.
5) Working with Secretary of State helped to bring a peaceful transition to Burma which is very close to my heart because my wife's paternal grandfather was Burmese and my retirement shack lies about 6 blocks from the Burmese Border.
6) My Muslim in laws deeply appreciate that he has re established a government that respects law abiding secular Muslims.
7) Made it possible for us to not be embarrassed when we are overseas and have to go on our "well I don't understand those 'Mericans either, I am from Canada eh" schtick.
8) Helped to increase revenues to the federal government meaning that my children will not have to be paying a higher price for Bush's wars.
9) Helped to make college funds more affordable and accessible for my daughter to go to college.
10) Appointed Supreme Court Judges that will have an impact for decades to come.
Yes there is more like being the first President to personally visit Planned Parenthood (which my two daughters both use) but I don't want to bore you so I will stop at 10.
The one thing that just delights me more than any other is that every day he is President he drives the Republicans 10 degrees more crazy and that when it comes to the election in 2016 Presidential elections the Republicans are not only going to be down by an insurmountable 7-9% but they are going to come to the realization that the Democratic Party is not going to have an African American on the ticket and they are going to lose another 3-4% and a whole lot of enthusiasm.
But what has he done for me in the last 48 hours?
Not one god damned thing.
