6. The ACA final version was far short of what Obama intended it to be

Democrats took what they could get.They made statements like"its a start and we will add to this bill later"
When insurance companies stopped spending millions against the ACA it was obvious it met their approval and meant higher profits for them.But still the uninsurable could now get insurance.

There was no mention of Obama's accomplishment with the TPP trade deal?

"and refashioned the National Labor Relations Board and the Wage and Hour Division of the Labor Department into highly effective forces for workers' rights."
Need to read this in detail. He took away some workers rights and less power for the NLRB
and have we seen a minimum wage of at least $10.00 yet?

Obama actually has had Social Security and Medicare on the table in budget negotiations with Republicans.

Obama pushed a bill through that actually weakened the Dodd-Frank bill.

Anything else?

Comparing Obama to FDR or Truman or JFK.? He is not even close.
