ill give you several things that he can run one which are valid:
1 - he helped save GM. which if it had failed, most economists agree that the would have been an additionl 1 to 1.4 million jobs lost
GM did fail, they went bankrupt, then recovered.
2 - when he took office we were losing 750,000 jobs per month, in Jan 2012 we created 243,000 for that month along.
How do you give him credit for jobs that he couldn't have possibly signed into being?
3 - since he took office he has overseen the creation of 3.7 million new private sector jobs
Governement doesn't create private sector jobs. Business owners do.
4 - when obama took office, the stock market stood at 5,000, as of today it stands at 12,926. meaning he has been in office while seeing the stock market climb nearly 8,000 points
Obama controls the stock market? How interesting.
5 - he ended the war in iraq
In twice as much time as he promised.
6 - he gave the order to get bin laden
That order was given by Bush.
7 - he advocated and got through the equal pay for women act.
8 - he has lowered taxes on the middle class several time. (the bailout, the payroll tax reduction)
Please explain how a bailout is a tax reduction. He's jeopardizing SS benefits.
9 - He repealed DADT
10 - He negotiated a new START Treaty
The old START treaty ended in 2009, why the delay? What did we gain? The reductions effect us more than Russia.
11 - he opened up markets in south korea, columbia and panama through free trade agreements.
Oh good, more free trade agreements to kill American jobs.
12 - he passed legislation limiting the risk taking that can happen with banks and financial institutions to prevent another financial collapse.
Wow! Which ones did he vote on again? You can't legislate away greed.13 - Health Care Reform
How is that affordable healthcare for all Americans coming?
you cant say the he hasnt accomplished anything. you can disagree with what he has done, but saying he has done nothing is a fallacy.
My comments in blue.

GM didnt "fail" exactly, they went through management bankruptcy with a loan from Fed. They would have not needed a loan from the Fed has the banks agreed to lend to them. so it was the decision of the Obama administration to save GM instead of dismantle it
2 - when he took office we were losing 750,000 jobs per month, in Jan 2012 we created 243,000 for that month along.

i can give him credit, simply because you on the right will blame him for losing jobs on his watch. under that logic, he can receive credit for overseeing growth
3 - since he took office he has overseen the creation of 3.7 million new private sector jobs
Governement doesn't create private sector jobs. Business owners do.
if they government doesnt create jobs, then why does the GOP/TP blame the president for not creating enough jobs?
4 - when obama took office, the stock market stood at 5,000, as of today it stands at 12,926. meaning he has been in office while seeing the stock market climb nearly 8,000 points
Obama controls the stock market? How interesting.
no but his policies influence investing. which his shoring up of the banks led to an increase in both consumer confidence and investor confidence.
5 - he ended the war in iraq
In twice as much time as he promised.
he still ended it, the GOP wanted to stay in Iraq "permanently"
6 - he gave the order to get bin laden
That order was given by Bush.
was bush in the situation room as seal team 6 took down the house in pakistan? did bush give the direct order to seal team 6 to proceed with the mission? what fantasy land do you live in?
7 - he advocated and got through the equal pay for women act.
i noticed you didnt comment here, WINNING!!
8 - he has lowered taxes on the middle class several time. (the bailout, the payroll tax reduction)
Please explain how a bailout is a tax reduction. He's jeopardizing SS benefits.\
over half of the bailout was tax cuts for the middle class... or did you forget that? and i thought that tax cuts "paid for themselves" and "deficits dont matter"
9 - He repealed DADT
WINNING!
10 - He negotiated a new START Treaty
The old START treaty ended in 2009, why the delay? What did we gain? The reductions effect us more than Russia.
yes america needs enough nuke to destroy the earth 20 times over........ and it took a while to negotiate, but are you really in favor of more nuclear weapons in the world?
11 - he opened up markets in south korea, columbia and panama through free trade agreements.
Oh good, more free trade agreements to kill American jobs.
actually the free trade agreements are project to increase exports, not imports
12 - he passed legislation limiting the risk taking that can happen with banks and financial institutions to prevent another financial collapse.
Wow! Which ones did he vote on again? You can't legislate away greed.
actually you can, by forcing banks to keep more cash on hand, or by forcing them to have derivative regulate, or to have hedge funds regulate. wow youre dense
13 - Health Care Reform
How is that affordable healthcare for all Americans coming?
between 1990 and 2007 health care costs increased over 400%, how is not acting doing to slow the rise in cost? the biggest reason that health care costs so much is because a) not enough peple are on the pool, and b) health care companies are designed to make a profit. thus you make a profit 2 ways. increaseing subscribers, or cutting expenses. how do you cut expenses, you deny services.
you cant say the he hasnt accomplished anything. you can disagree with what he has done, but saying he has done nothing is a fallacy.
