Granted the Repubs are likely going to simply grease the slippery slope the country is on, but a President who only made matters worse in the middle east, escalated the booming debt, and enacted a health care bill that's a pile of junk is hardly a great president.  He pandered to his voters and the big money, and not the best interests of the entire nation.  The only real difference is he was sharp to sweet talk the public instead of being the loud mouthed idiot who's in office now.
