Well, if you mean in his lifetime, getting elected president I think ranks up there as his best accomplishment.
His greatest failure is his lack of action and direction on virtually anything significant so far in his tenure...eg: unemployment, economy...while being obsessed with a health care overhaul. I am a 6-figure worker who is now unemployed. I can't help anyone (even passively like paying taxes) unless I can get back to work. Right now I am a drain on the economy, instead of supporting it like I used to when I worked.
BTW, I voted for President Obama and I'm a Republican.
