As an obama supporter I have to admit I'm pretty disappointed. I think he could have done more to fix the financial meltdown so it doesn't happen again. But the fact remains he has been pretty good as commander and chief. And if he could get us out of afgan I would be very satisfied there. As far as jobs go. I propose that things could have been much worse. What if he lets detroit collapse? How many more jobs would be lost. Not just GM but all the suppliers and other businesses related to their cars. So no I don't think he has been that bad. I'm also disappointed with healthcare reform. He campaigned on a single payer option and also the fact is 25% of healthcare costs are overhead. You can get that down to 5% by
1) Nationalized Electronic Billing.
2) Single Billing System
so I think that was a major gift to the healthcare industry and insurance industry.
But its a tough metric. How bad could things really been. Lets think back to the great depression and the do nothing policies of the right back then.
