As with any of the Tea Party-inspired Nutballs, if the Prezzie doesn't bury us in debt under the guise of 'helping' the consumer while actually just helping Corporations, keep us mired in war after war, dumping all our good relations with just about everyone else that isn't part of the Corporation-Above-All mindset, and lying to the populace about who we need to hate next and keeping the pot of hatred constantly stoked and swirling so it can't ever really settle at all, they're just not a good President. (My, that was a long sentence....)
Apparently Cash for Clunkers has created some artificial scarcity in the used car market and driving prices up substantially. Which probably isn't a good thing. Government probably should have stayed the heck out of this one or done the usual government trick of "We'll give you tax incentives to buy a fuel efficient vehicle".
"Eliminated funding for abstinence-only education" I did not know this, that's fantastic all by itself.
There are probably a fair number of things he did that suck or will have negative consequences too. He isn't perfect, but a shaved ape would be better than George Bush. Though Bush was better than Gore (especially right around 9/11).
Bottom line, all politicians suck. Even if a truly good and honest one gets elected our political system is so corrupt now that its impossible to "do the right thing" most of the time.
