And I personally benefited by his work in pushing mortgage loan modifications enabling people like me to keep our condos. Without that I would have lost my home because I was already embroiled in the foreclosure process. And there are hundreds of thousands, if not a few million people who still have their jobs because he 'bailed out' the auto industry. It's not just the car makers who still have their jobs. It's every company that depends on the car industry to keep their jobs going. Mechanics, car retailers, car repair shops and on and on.
Would you have let the banks collapse? Please tell us how that would have helped the average American.
And every single benefit he has managed to push through for us has been met with a wall of resistance that gives no quarter. The Republican Party with their abuse of the filibuster and their constant defeat of every single move Obama makes is who you should be asking these questions of. I could go on but I won't waste my time.
