Do remember everyone... Obama & his staff & advisors are not dumb folks. They have access to more information and behind-the-scenes manipulation vectors than any of us.
This simplistic attitude of "oh, I'm disappointed in what he has accomplished so far.." doesn't help much. He has been in a position where "the loyal opposition" has been willing to sell the country down the river, rather than to allow him any significant legislative wins.

This is not Venezuela or Iran, where power is narrowly concentrated in a few individuals. He does not rule by fiat! It's fine to wonder why certain things are happening, but I don't see anything he's done that was stupid.
