First you berate him for not living up to campaign promises that he never made, now you are berating him for fulfilling the largest one he made.... Not really sure what you expect.
Back to that old saw... Bush had no responsibility for the bailout? It was all Obama?
AND... the bailout obviously didn't work? Think the folks who's jobs and homes were saved by the bailout have a different opinion than you about that?

Are you sure about nationalizing healthcare was a HUGE part of Obama's campaign? I think that might be a little revision of history. Obama's campaign, and here on OD was that he was not GB. He carefully avoided any details in his zeal for hope and change. The genius of that approach was that everyone got to define Obama as he/ she wanted. I think the healthcare issue came to the fore during the campaign, and even more afterward, but I would not say it was a huge part of his campaign.
