He inheirited a situation where about $200 billion was in risky mortgages, where maybe $40 billion would default. His "solution" was to take $2 trillion from you and I and give it to the likes of ACORN. Two TRILLION dollars spent on a $40 billion problem and only made it much worse.

He came into a slow economy and CREATED a disaster. No serious economist will argue that fact at this point.
