Has there EVER been a more phony, ineffective US president than B.H. Obama?

Your evaluation is based on what, exactly?

He seems to have mostly carried on with the previous administrations policies, even going so far as to reappoint a large number of Republicans.

It makes sense for those on the political left to be disappointed in his performance so far, but I really don't see how a McCain - Palin (the horror!) administration could have done any better. McCain seems relatively sensible (it's a low bar, though) but would likely not have coped with the pressure too well -- then you get Palin. Or you think that 'Romney - Ryan' would have achieved anything other than wholesale destruction of 'middle America' (what's left of it, anyway) and an economy based on CDOs and other BS?

Seriously -- what mistakes and bad policies did Obama initiate, yet alone get put into action?
