So if obama had started two wars, doubled the national debt, presided over a housing collapse and a financial meltdown, enacted another social program without paying for it you would refer to him as mediocre? Right!
It is an awfully simplistic premise you present, however, Obama has started one war, more than doubled the national debt, WILL more than double the national debt if he happens to get reelected, and has enacted a far bigger social program than Part D without paying for it.
As to the "housing collapse", I'm not quite sure how one blames anyone other than Clinton & Carter for it, but at least Bush did something to reverse its effects. Obama, OTOH, just stood back and threw money at it.
Had Obama so chosen, instead of wasting that trillion dollars, he could have made us energy independent within his first four year term, and guaranteed his reelection. Yet, he chose instead to pay off every conceivable constituency for putting him in office. |
