Help me out here. This is serious. I am trying to think of ANYTHING good Obama has done so far. Something actually good for the country. Can anybody suggest anything? Are we close to a top ten list?
He got a dog. That should count for something.

He stayed out of the Navy’s way during the Somali pirate incident.
actually, he tried to get in the way but the Captain took matters in his own hands.
That's all I can come up with.
He’s gotten a lot of people closer to God.
LOL, GMTA. I was slower on the draw.
We might add that he’s casued a whole lot of vacuous brained liberals to be exposed since he decdied to run.
He’s helped the gun and ammo stores make a killing (which encourages the economy).
It’s Miller time!
He convinced a lot of fence-sitters to finally invest in that first firearm.
I prefer to think of it as, he's helped arm more citizens.
He drew Specter out.
He’s avoided rounding people up into concentration camps. So far...
Is that too far?
Here is the list of the accomplishments the White House actively touts, even as it disdains what it calls the "Hallmark Holiday" of the 100th day in office.
* Passing the "largest" economic stimulus bill in American history.
* Ordering the closing of Guantanamo Bay military detention facility and abolishing "enhanced interrogation techniques."
* Setting a fixed timetable for withdrawing U.S. combat forces from Iraq.
* Ordering 21,000 additional troops to Afghanistan and enlisting, with modest new assistance, European allies in a new multi-layered strategy there and in Pakistan.
* "Returning science to its rightful place" by lifting the Bush restrictions on federally funded embryonic stem cell research.
* Signing laws to expand children's health insurance (financed by a 61-cent per pack increase in the federal cigarette tax the adviser did not tout).
* Signing a law meant to improve the ability of women who allege pay discrimination to sue their employer.
* Diminishing the role of lobbyists in the White House
* "Forge a meaningful statement from the United Nations" criticizing North Korea's launch of a ballistic missile.
* Lifting travel and remittance restrictions for Cuban Americans who seek to travel more frequently to the island and send more US currency to their immediate family.
* Engaging world leaders in Europe, Turkey, Latin American and the Caribbean with "strength and humility."
More troops in Afghanistan maybe good?...
