Other than Government spending and historical losses in Congress what other historical records does Obama own?

Update:

Cantankerous you seem unaware of the super majority...but that's alright, you'll mature.

Update 2:

America....Bush had 54 months positive economic growth on all indicators and the supreme court never reversed his actions

Now do you want to debate or lick obamays boots?

    Obama does not own any historical records except his assertion that he is the first black president which incidentally is not true, since after all his mother was white. Technically he is bi-racial.

    McCain had bigger losses in 2008, but he never was POTUS just a wannabe. It is funny how 4 years of total control in the House and Republicans were unable to rein in Obama's spending. As for historical records, He killed bin Laden turned around the second worst economy in our nation's history, reformed health care dropping the uninsured rate to it's lowest point, all with little or no help from Republicans. We can go over Dumbya' s achievements too, if you like. I guess not.

    The truth is that Obama has reduced deficits and saved us from another Great Depression. The real record on government spending belongs to Reagan and George W. Bush Reagan tripled the debt and Bush added four trillion dollars spending on a needless war.

    What outrageous spending by Obama did house republicans approve? I'm not aware of any. And a president can't spend money without the House voting for it. So tell us, when did the house approve all this spending and why not blame them?

    Lowest spending since Eisenhower, 5.5% unemployment. 3.5% economic growth. A whole lot of things. But the Republicans will reverse all that and you will be happy for that. Won't you?
