There are significant legislative achievements on that list (pay equity for women, expanded health care for children, credit card "bill of rights", tobacco control act...) as well as significant Executive Orders/Memoranda that restore some level of openness and transparency (not enough, IMO).....but some of those accomplishments are a stretch.

Left off the list? THe most sweeping land conservation initiative since Teddy Roosevelt...adding millions of acres of wilderness to protected public land status and significantly increasing protection of the national scenic river system.

The greatest disappointment is continuing many of the Bush national security initiatives or not cutting others back enough....but that comes as no surprise.

There are also whispers that are beginning to circulate that Obama will replace Biden on the ticket with Hillary Clinton in 2012.
