ECONOMY: From day one, President Obama took immediate action to address the country’s economic crisis and began laying the foundation for a job-creating economy that’s built to last. President Obama’s recovery program supported as many as 3.5 million jobs by cutting taxes; investing in clean energy, roads and bridges; keeping teachers in the classroom; and protecting unemployment benefits. The private sector has now created nearly 3 million jobs during 21 straight months of private-sector growth – but our work is not done. His proposed American Jobs Act would put even more people back to work now and put even more money in people’s pockets, but Washington Republicans are blocking it.

As we recover from the greatest economic and financial crisis since the Great Depression, President Obama is fighting to restore the basic values of balance and fairness that made our country great. We are now at a make-or-break moment for the middle class.

HEALTH CARE: President Obama passed the landmark Affordable Care Act to restore health care as a basic cornerstone of middle-class security in America. The Affordable Care Act makes health care more affordable for families and small businesses and brings much-needed transparency and accountability to the insurance industry.

IRAQ: President Obama has kept his word: he brought the war in Iraq to a responsible end and brought home our troops. When the President took office in January 2009, there were 142,000 U.S. troops in Iraq; today those troops are home with their families. Our combat mission in Iraq has ended, and the Iraqi people now have full responsibility for the security of their nation.

ISRAEL: Barack Obama has strengthened America’s unbreakable commitment to Israel. He has a deep understanding of the grave threats Israel faces and has worked tirelessly to ensure Israel’s security. President Obama strongly supports direct peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian people that protect Israel’s core interests, address Israel’s security needs, and recognize Israel as a Jewish state and the homeland for the Jewish people. That’s why the Obama administration has executed a robust multilateral strategy to counter efforts to de-legitimize Israel.

ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT: President Obama has made developing clean energy and protecting the environment a priority, helping to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, investing in clean-energy jobs, and taking steps to improve the quality of our air and water. Public-private partnerships led by the administration have created nearly a quarter of a million private-sector jobs in the clean energy industry.

WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES: President Obama, the father of two girls, has been a staunch advocate for women since the day he took office. He’s protected and advanced policies that promote fairness, equal opportunity and a level playing field. From ensuring equal pay for an equal day’s work to expanding access to quality, affordable health care, child care and education, the President’s agenda illustrates his belief that women’s issues are America’s issues.

IMMIGRATION: We are a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. President Obama is fighting for comprehensive immigration reform because he knows our economic competitiveness depends on a legal immigration system that meets our diverse needs. President Obama fought for the passage of the DREAM Act, so young people brought to the United States as minors through no fault of their own have an opportunity to contribute to our economy and society by pursuing a higher education or serving in our Armed Forces.

CIVIL LIBERTIES: The President has upheld American values by reversing previous administration policies that harmed our national security and moral authority in the world.
