I'm ready to vote for Obama. I think he inherited a real mess--two wars and a recession--and has gradually turned things around. I'm worried that Romney would undo that progress.

If you want specifics, here are some things Obama's done that I support: 1. Improved the economy from losing 800,000 jobs per month (right before he took office) to adding jobs in each of the past 40+ months. 2. Rescued the US auto industry. 3. Tightened regulations on Wall Street and big banks (although they could still be tighter). 4. Extended health insurance to more than 30 million people. 5. Expanded government aid to students, and cut out middle men. 6. Increased fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks. 7. Got Osama bin Laden. 8. Ended the war in Iraq. 9. Set a timetable for ending the war in Afghanistan. 10. Stopped torturing people. 11. Helped topple oppressive dictatorships in Egypt and Libya. 13. Strengthened international alliances that George W. Bush had weakened. 14. Negotiated economic sanctions that have crippled Iran. 13. Allowed gay men and women to openly serve in the military.

There's more to do, but I think that's a good start.
