If I were a liberal, this is how I'd argue my point.

Fact: Unemployment rates have dropped from over 10% down to 6.3%.
Fact: Job growth has occurred for 54 out of 55 straight months.
Fact: Over 10 million new jobs created since recovery began. With approximately 300,000 last month alone.
Fact: Deficits have shrunk from about 1.8 trillion, to about 600 billion. (1/3rd of the all time high.)
Fact: Stock Markets have more than doubled (Nasdaq, S&P, Dow).
Fact: 2 wars have either ended or drawing to a close.
Fact: Bin Laden is dead.
Fact: TARP created a net increase in revenue.
Fact: Healthcare has been greatly expanded for the poor and middle class.

Now... I'm going to go blow my brains out for even thinking of those reasons. haha.

I know how to argue all those points, for and against. So don't even try. Anyone who knows me, will know that I'm a radical conservative and make no excuses for Obama. That said, I will offer a REAL example of Obama's success, no jokes:

Raising capital gains taxes has probably been his biggest accomplishment. The conventional wisdom was that raising them would be detriminal to the markets, especially during a time of recovery. The rates have increased approximately 50% under Obama. From 15% to 23.8%. (20% plus the new 3.8% medicare recovery surcharge). Luckily, I was proven wrong and the markets have more than doubled under Obama, with huge gains since the rate was raised. This has created the boom in revenue (along with accelerated job increases, and income tax increases on the rich, along with new taxes from obamacare). Although I didn't support the capital gain tax increase, then or now... I must concede and say that as a fiscal conservative whose interest is in decreasing the debt... it was probably the right decision. The only reason I'm against it, is because it wasn't part of a spending cut deal.
