- Expanded National Civilian service coprs
- Fair Sentencing act (sentencing disparity between crack vs powered cocaine)
- 9/11 First Responders Bill
- Hate Crimes Act
- Ratified Start Treaty (Between US and Russia on Nukes)
- Repealed "Don't ask,Don't tell"
- Cash for Clunkers
- Created and deployed the largest middle class tax cuts ever

All of the above was done between 2009 and 2011 until John Boener and republicans took control of the house for the first time in years.

Since then, no signifiant bills have been passed into law.
