economy.......better than where it was headed.......but 7% unemployment isn't truthful
wars ..... yep we still got em...and he is still saying he will close GITMO
spying on Americans..............shifted that into overdrive
social spending...........again better than where it was headed ..... but flat
healthcare reform... health insurance package passed that helped a bunch, hurt a bunch so meh
"Federal Contracted" work minimum pay to $10.10 that's slippery.......not as it seems
most transparent administration......no better than any other

So my option would be ......Yeah..he's slightly better than the one before, but 5 years into this, there is nothing that can be called a clear sign that Obama is anything but just "the next guy".
