[QUOTE="728ups, post: 1350464, member: 33372"] [SIZE=5][B]Education.[/B][/SIZE] He has repeatedly increased funding for student financial aid, and at the same time cut the banks completely out of the process. Completely reformed the student loan program, to make it possible for students to refinance at a lower rate. Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act , he invested heavily in elementary, secondary and post-secondary education. This includes a major expansion of broadband availability in K-12 schools nationwide , as well as an expansion in school construction. Also through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, he put $5 billion into early education, including Head Start. Signed the Post-9/11 GI Bill, also known as GI Bill 2.0 He oversaw expansion of the Pell Grants program, to expand opportunity for low-income students to go to college. He passed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which provided an extra $12.2 billion in funds. [SIZE=5][B]Greater Transparency and Better Government.[/B][/SIZE] He signed an order banning gifts from lobbyists to anyone in the Executive Branch. He signed an order banning anyone from working in an agency they had lobbied in previous years. He also put strict limits on lobbyists’ access to the White House. He held the first-ever first online town hall from the White House, and took questions from the public. The Obama White House became the first to stream every White House event, live. He established a central portal for Americans to find service opportunities. He provided the first voluntary disclosure of the White House Visitors Log in history. He crafted an Executive Order on Presidential Records, which restored the 30-day time frame for former presidents to review records, and eliminated the right for the vice president or family members of former presidents to do the reviews. This will provide the public with greater access to historic White House documents, and severely curtails the ability to use executive privilege to shield them. He improved aspects of the Freedom of Information Act, and issued new guidelines to make FOIA more open and transparent in the processing of FOIA requests. [SIZE=5][B]National Safety and Security.[/B][/SIZE] He’s restored federal agencies such as FEMA to the point that they have been able to manage a huge number of natural disasters successfully.
