*Comment by Michael Lee- I thought it was great so Cut and Paste but no plagerism* So... a long list of minor accomplishments and PR stunts? Are we really going to ignore the big issues that hes dropped the ball on? Off the top of my head, I recall he did not bother to get a status of forces agreement in Iraq; allowed relations with Israel, Russia, and Afghanistan to deteriorate; was idle during Arab Spring/Winter; passed half-baked, partisan healthcare reform that totally poisoned subsequent discourse; failed to get immigration reform done; grew the surveillance state; cracked down on whistle blowers; was neutral on net neutrality; and got pushed around by both parties. Ultimately though, most of these failures trace to his greatest failing: He failed to build consensus and change the political climate of Washington. He is a mediocre President, and we need better.
