Obama has been far less than adequate. He followed on the heels of the worst President since Grant and his reelection is being challenged by perhaps the weakest field in the history of the Republican party.
'Better than Bush' is hardly a strong legacy, and able to defeat Bachman/Romney/Cain etc isn't any better. He has perpetuated some terrible bush era policies like gitmo, failed to strengthen government regulations (look at what lack of energy regulation did in the BP gulf oil spill) and proven to be inept at passing real sweeping health care reform in the face of the insurance lobby.
The good news is he is still light years better than bush ever was. The bad news is so is anyone else, so it's not much of a compliment.
