Lessee, he was presented with 2 wars, Guantanamo, a fiscal crisis, environmental issues, immigration issues, all the bad will left over from 8 years of Bush, about 200 Republican legislators dedicated to making sure he got as little cooperation as possible, a whole bunch of other folks who hate the very idea of someone who's not 'white' being there at all, a White House years behind in technical wiring for modern communications, ....and a few dozen other 'minor' issues like gays in the military, leftover Katrina problems and a press corps which wants immediate answers...in detail.

   I see he's not done with all those yet! Failure, huh?
