The DADT repeal is something that is clearly a move left. It is sad that a move toward equality is a move to the left but that is just the way it is.
Medical Marijuana now exists. Ten years ago it didn't, well not in all but the most extreme cases. We need to continue this fight but the country has moved left here.
The Lily Ledbetter law was passed, again just a move toward equality but that is still a move left.
Hate crimes legislation has been passed to help provide some protection for the LGBT community.
Ah Hell.... here is my very old copy and paste response to this type of thing. It is getting very old but it still points out that Pres. Obama has had some successes that we never would have gotten with a McCain/Palin administration.
Two great choices for Supreme Court.
The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
The Matthew Shepard Hates Crimes Prevention Act (which they said could not be done)
Children's Health Insurance
Tobacco Regulation
Credit Card Reform
Student Loan Reform
The Stimulus (including the largest tax cut ever, the largest investment in clean energy ever, the single largest investment in education in our country ever)
Health Reform
Wall Street Reform
The New G.I. Bill
The Food Safety Modernization Act (the most expansive food reform bill since the 1930s)
The Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal
The New Start Treaty (even when the (R)s said he would never be able to get it passed)
Locking up over half the loose nuclear material in the world in less than half of his first term, something most (R)s thought impossible.
Most of that list is from The Rachel Maddow Show and is included in this clip

In that clip she also estimates that ~85% of what President Obama said he wanted to accomplish in his first term had been accomplished in the first half of his first term.
