He's been a big disappointment.
All the hype about change and he was little different to Bush in terms of foreign policy. I've not followed American politics enough to comment much on domestic issues but he's come across as ineffective at (or unwilling to) getting any change done.
Despite America seeming so politically polarized I don't think Americans have much of a real choice. The politicians give different rhetoric then do the same things the others would have done.
I suppose the American economy has recovered reasonably (Yes, I know there's a lot of debt but that'll take a long time to shift) and I think his stimulus plan was a good call. |
From the outside, I can see how his foreign policy isn't much different. Keep in mind that our Congress is largely in charge of how that all plays out. Domestically, like you guessed, has been a huge improvement. That's likely much harder for those outside the US to notice.

Socially? Yes. Economically? It's essentially been a continuation of the last 40 years.
