Ok - 1. The Stimulus did not stimulate. - President Obama was elected in the wake of the 2008 financial crises-His first big act was to sign a gargantuan package of "stimulus spending" financed entirely with debt-which was suppose to jump start the economy. Congress voted for hundreds of billions of dollars for "shovel ready jobs" that did not exist,and the money disappeared without a trace.
2. Financial reform did not reform - Dodd-Frank financial reforms did not reform anything. They created a couple of thousand pages of new legislation and many,many more new executive branch regulations which helped muddle the rules rather than clarify them.
3. Obama Care - The disastrous launch of Obama Care was a reminder of everything that is wrong with big government.
Commentators on the left will argue that the law is a great success-IF you agree to move the goal posts and ignore all the broken promises but the American people are not buying it.
4. He did not shut down Guantanamo,keep the NSA from spying,or rein in the drones.
5. He has made America irrelevant--He just let's events drift and does not take a bold stance. For most of his presidency Obama declared his intention to "pivot to Asia" extricating himself from the Middle East and focusing on bolstering our Pacific allies to peacefully manage the rise of China. He never did it and the "pivot to Asia " died of neglect.
So to get back on topic -As you can see - Trump has a lot of problems to fix - his attention will not be on the hobby.
