As a conservative I can hardly consider forcing Social Security to add to the deficit something I would support, and I know from first hand experience that the changes to Stop Lost were well underway long before Obama even took office. When I enlisted it was made perfectly clear a hundred times over that I was enlisting for 8 years, should the situation dictate it, and that my "active" and "reserve" duties were at the discretion of the Federal government.

Although with that being said, I do feel like you left out a few very important accomplishments that Obama actually stepped up to the plate to.

My biggest praises for Obama involve his push for a massive expansion of Federal subsidies to alternative energy and energy efficiency, which encourages the individual to benefit his neighbor by lowering the energy costs of everyone in his community. Not to mention the increase in Federal fuel efficiency standards, which once against benefits everyone.

Then there's the completely overlooked fact that President Obama, whether by goof of an appointee or by intention, is the only President to call out China for their currency manipulation.
