I mean he did some good stuff, but he could have done a hell of a lot more. I guess it's hard to knock him too much because the "other side" is doing their best to sabotage any sort of real progress, which is pretty much how our whack ass political system works.
Ya its ironic being that he always blabbers about helping those struggling middle class "folks." His retoric is all starting to feel very Orwellian to me. I'm not even a liberal but with this whole TSA crap, squashing civil liberties, expanding the wars, and cozying up to huge corporations he seems even more right wing than bush was.
I honestly can't think of a single good thing he has done. Ya the health insurance industry is jacked up, but FORCING private citizens to buy a product they may not want or need from hand picked corporations is not the solution.
