At the end of the Bush Administration's ransacking of the country and the economy, Obama stepped in and made very important decisions to which people seemingly withhold their praise. In order to not sound bias, I want to assure everyone that I am not under the impression that everything he has implemented or not implemented be perfect, but he has made some very positive decisions. Healthcare, Financial reform, foreign relations, reduction of military presence in Iraq. So, with all due respect to all those people who just completely hate Barack Obama, he's done a fairly decent job. Most of the problems are Bush's fault, but I guess blame doesn't get put on him. After all, it was Clinton's fault the housing market collapsed and it is Obama's fault that we hold 14.29 trillion dollars in debt.

The way I see it, its a little simplistic to say any sort of government action is really just taken by the president. It's not just "Obama's failure" or "Bush's failure", there's a lot more people involved, a lot more corporate influence and definitely a lot more actors involved.
