79. Not a perfect list, but he is only 1 man, 6 months into the job.
He's been a busy President. While this list doesn't have all the things we on the Left would want to see (like HR 676, FISA pulled back, Bush in prison, etc) it does have a lot we wanted to see. Could he have done better? Certainly. Your criticism is justified. But, if McCain had been in office, would we have seen the same results? Most likely, nope.

BUT A LOT OF Y'ALL ARE MISSING THE IMPORTANT PART- WE NOW KNOW WHERE THE ROADBLOCKS TO CHANGE ARE.
WE KNOW WHO'S HOLDING UP THE AGENDA.
WE KNOW WHO'S THE OPPOSITION AND THE MEN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

If you want real change, you have to remove the roadblocks. Sitting around complaining about the president not doing this or that isn't going to get the job done. The problem stems from the American mindset, among other things. Changing that will take a very long time, but in the meantime, your biggest enemies are Wall St, K St, and C St. Neutralize their ability to influence legislation and you'll have the change you want.
