Obama has been a better President in all respects than Bush Jr. However, many people don't like Obama because of all the propaganda the Right Wing media has put out against him starting the morning after Election Day 2008 ( and that has been helped out by the fact that he's an African American. They couldn't have slammed a white guy with the same policies the same way).
If Obama's made some mistakes they were largely due to the fact that he didn't push his agenda through when he had a Democratic Congress thus giving people ample time to fall in love with his plans before the 2010 elections.
I think in some ways he tried to govern from the center and be a great compromiser even when his opponents were fewer in number which hurt too.
