103. That's the crux of it, for me

He just hasn't made any effort to fight, from what I can tell. One of his legacies will be the term "preemptive concession" -- from the inclusion of tax cuts in the stimulus, to precluding Medicare for all or even a public option from consideration in the health debate, he concedes Right Wing policies up front, over and over, and then when it comes time to negotiate the Republicans push further Right.

Given we needed someone to take swift action to turn the country around, Obama's Presidency will be looked back on as akin to Hoover's.
