This is Progress.
After seven and a half years, let's look back at the road we've traveled: America is back to work, with 14.8 million private-sector jobs created over the last 76 months. Unemployment has declined from 10 percent to 4.9 percent. We cut our deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 2.5 percent today. Health care is no longer a privilege for a few, but a right for all. More of our troops are home with their families, with fewer than 15,000 remaining in Iraq and Afghanistan. Clean energy is increasingly powering America's homes and businesses. And where there were only four states in 2009 that recognized the right to marry the person you love, love won. That's progress.

Since taking office, President Obama has acted aggressively to rebuild our economy on a stronger long-term foundation, restart growth and job creation, encourage entrepreneurs to start new businesses, and expand opportunity for all Americans.
