Let’s look at a few of the accomplishments of this administration less than a year in.

Back in 2008 Barack Obama ran on a platform to “fundamentally transform” America. Of course, most people did not realize that Obama wanted to transform America from a country of freedom and liberty into one that would be managed by government elites from the top down.
