Basic building blocks laid to provide universal health care for all Americans.
Improvement in the rights of workers, although this will be a long hard fight in many states.
Troops gone from Iraq, and negotiations ongoing with Iran and some of the tribes of Afghanistan. Foreign policy wounds from the Bush years healed over and the world at large no longer loving to hate America.
Taxes cut for most middle-class/working class Americans and small businesses, but raised for rich people and wealthy corporations. I don't know why most Americans seem to pay more in taxes as a proportion of income than I do, because you don't get any kind of value for money out of it.
The economy has turned the corner and is recovering. Mortgages have been re-negotiated in some cases to allow vulnerable people to stay in their homes.
