I'm not a big fan of Obama, but considering the resistance the gop has given him I would say he has done as well as to be expected. Now people want to blame him for Bushs mess and worse, put a Bush on steroids Mitt in there.

For the first couple of years he was president...the Democrats controlled the entire govt. (senate and the house)
They never even passed one single budget. They were all in a frenzy trying to get pork barrel spending for their political friends in their respective home states.
Meanwhile the country went further down the toilet.
In my opinion, the country does best with the house and Senate controlled by one party and the presidency controlled by the other. Like when Reagan and Clinton were president.
I think Obama could turn his presidency around if he wins this November and the Republicans take over the Senate as well as the house
Finally getting the Senator of my state Nevada, Harry Reid, OUT as Senate majority leader would go a long way towards getting things done.
He has stalled and delayed EVERY vote on every issue in the Senate for years now.
