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.

TARP was Bush, not Obama, but according to Obama, most has been paid back, nice when you can get funds with no interest to recue your business.
He should have focused on the economy before tackling healthcare, his stimulus only created government jobs that cost the US private sector jobs, it was not well thought out

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
