#1. 'About as well as he did in office. ' #2 'spent as much time on it as his golf game'
Indeed. He was a legislative disaster, accomplished very little and clearly did not apply himself. You may not like his policies and decisions but he was a consequential US President who did not faff about. I think he earned a golf game or two.
1. Passed Health Care Reform
After five presidents over the course of a century failed to create universal health insurance, signed the Affordable Care Act in 2010. More than twenty million Americans have gained coverage since the passage of the law
2. Rescued the Economy
Signed the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009 to spur economic growth amid the most severe downturn since the Great Depression. As of October 2016, the economy had added 15.5 million new jobs since early 2010 and set a record with seventy-three straight months of private-sector job growth. The unemployment rate, which hit a sustained peak of about 10 percent in 2009, has dropped to 4.6 percent as of November 2016.

#4 And then there is the real story of his Presidency .
One of the worst of his "accomplishments".the ACA , is about to be
sent to the trash bin of history to give working people some relief
from unbearable healthcare costs.

Thanks #7, much of #4's list is laughable if you actually looked into it in depth. Nice talking points for know-nothing liberals, but in reality he was a terrible president, at least for the common man. He was great for the wealthy and non-citizens.

#8 You got it. And only saying "much" of it was laughable was being kind.
ps
I will be gone for the next 10 days. I am donating a week of my time to
American and Delta Air Lines at LAX to help load the luggage of all the
celebrities who promised to leave the country if Trump was elected.
I have also volunteered some time to work with the college students who
are “hurting so badly” over the Trump win. I am donating crayons for
those students to let them learn how to connect the dots in their
“Fantasy Life” coloring books.
As noted on CNN: “Democrats took an early lead which dramatically
changed later in the afternoon once Republicans got off work and
went to vote!"
