I think Obama was not prepared for office as he had no real experience.
He had only 2 years of experience in Washington and a few years as a State Senator. Meaning he was not prepared at all to deal with the problems that he faced. So what I am saying is sure Obama faced a terribile situation but his inexperience and naiveity towards the process really meant his first few years were squandered.
Frankly Presidents should be people who have been in Congress or the Senate or are former Governor's or Vice Presidents.
