9. You get judged on what happened

Not on what didn't happen.

What happen was bonuses for the bankers, and layoffs for middle america. It was mandates for individuals, and millions of new customers for Big Pharma. It was no prosecutions of torturers, and arrest and prosecutions of the people who leaked the information. It was executing Bush's SOFA and keeping Gates, instead of getting us out. It was starting trials on 15 year old kids who had been tortured.

It was a stimulus that was too small. In the end that in and of itself is what earned him this rating.
