Something that really irritates me about these pundits..
no matter who they are from the left or the right.

No matter what group,media or organization. No matter what the subject or the issue is, they may say he did something correctly but there always is this BUT...Can he do anything right?

1. To answer your question literally, yes. The things people acknowledge he (Obama?) did right.
There aren't any buts in your world? There are people walking around who always do everything perfectly right? So that there's absolutely nothing they do you can criticize? Amazing.

6. I am disagreeing with your premise. Disagreeing is not criticizing.
Try listening for the substance of what people are saying and respond to the substance. Don't be so prickly.

2. The But.
Why in so many places.

I like to think it is about John 3:17

17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

3. Well, sure. If there wasn't a "but," pundits wouldn't have a job.
On the other hand, there are quite a lot of "buts" with Obama, if that's who you're talking about. Quite a lot.
