Interesting also how the Bush tax cuts (to the upper income bracket) and the rather interesting financial experiment that was the Iraq War seem to be forgiven sins.

Having said that, I for once agree with you, Islandborn, on the fundamental stupidity of the G.M. investments, and with the stupdity or corruptness of most of what Obama does, except for that lovely achievement of health care. He's an ass (because he's a politician, really), but he'd still win big for his favourite charity on "Are You Smarter than a Tea Bagger?"
