Obama's second and biggest mistake as President was not making repealing the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans his FIRST priority (yes, before health care). That additional tax money would have more than paid for Obamacare, which would not have given the republicans ammunition about the growing budget deficit, perhaps meaning different outcomes in the 2010 elections. He should have made sure he had the money before they started putting together such a massive spending program. And he never should have allowed the bank CEOs and top executives to receive pay bonuses after they received bailouts. That was his first mistake.
Of course, he did get bin Laden.
Now, it's time to break camp and get out of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and any other Stan in which we're currently performing military operations. Let's get out of the Middle East and tend to matters here at home. What? Oh, my bad. Oil. Maybe someday natural gas will replace oil, and our dependence on foreign oil will finally stop controlling foreign, political, and public policy in this country. Will I live to see that day? It could happen. Apparently, there's a shitload of natural gas deep underground in Pennsylvania.
