Just to name a few, with his mission accomplished on:
- making healthcare accessible to all
- pardoning people in prison who are deserving of pardoning
- focusing on science and education for the kids
- improving relations, understanding, cultural diversity and conflict resolution between (and for) Muslims in (and of) the United States (Americans)
- reinstate the border’s catch and release policy

- asking Congress for $1.8 billion in emergency funds for vaccine, research, and education and improving healthcare for low-income pregnant women
…President Obama has indeed done some humane things, all the while being accessible and at eye level to the people.

According to the WashingtonPost.com:
President Obama has set aside more of America’s lands and waters for conservation protection than any of his predecessors, and he is preparing to do even more before he leaves office next year. The result may be one of the most expansive environmental and histo ric-preservation legacies in presidential history.
On Friday, Obama designated more than 1.8 million acres of California desert for protection with the creation of three national monuments: Castle Mountains, Mojave Trails and Sand to Snow. The new monuments will connect three existing sites — Death Valley and Joshua Tree national parks and the Mojave National Preserve — to create the second-largest desert preserve in the world.
