Here's a list of what President Barack Obama has done RIGHT so far in his first term

[derby378]

He signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, extending the statute of limitations for filing a sexual discrimination lawsuit against an employer.

He overturned the Reagan-era "Mexico City Policy" that denies funding to international family planning groups that offer abortion services.

He endorsed the United Nations declaration on gay rights and lifted the ban on HIV+ immigrants.

He ordered the military to allow women in uniform access to the "morning-after" pill.

He has begun reversing the Bush administation policy against stem-cell research.

He extended partnership benefits to Federal employees in same-sex relationships.

He gave transgendered Federal employees protection against discrimination.

He allowed states to enact higher carbon standards that exceed those of the Federal government.

He directed the EPA to classify excessive carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a health hazard.

He cancelled the obsolete F-22 fighter project.

He gave immigrants the right to legal counsel in hearings.

He shut down the T. Don Hutto Detention Center, a private prison in Texas designed to house immigrant families, including small children.

He negotiated a new START treaty with Russia.

He expanded children's access to health care.

He signed the Tribal Law and Order Act, which is designed to combat substance abuse and domestic violence on reservations.

All of these accomplishments are indeed commendable, and President Obama deserves our thanks for all of these. But it is also of paramount importance that we continue to remind the White House that there is still a world of work to be done towards realizing the promise of America.
