starts with a lack of appreciation of what he inherited. A nearly unprecedented economic collapse. Bush did nothing near the end of his term because he knew it would be someone else's problem. Obama started his Presidency about three hours after the Titanic hit the iceberg.
I don't care what anyone says, those circumstances plus a concerted effort in Congress to diametrically oppose everything he tried to do, played a huge role in what got done in his Presidency.
On the critical side, he was naive in the first two years of his Presidency to not cram everything he wanted to do down the throat of Congress. He had control of both houses. That was a huge mistake. His first term was not good at all as a result.
