>i don't follow the news about this. could you at least fill me in on
good things obama has done?

To me, unalloyed goods: The appointments of Hilda Solis at Labor and in particular Margaret Hamburg for FDA Commissioner, a sane public-health oriented scientist, after the series of shills and buffoons that have inhabited that office for at least the last eight years. That appointment could save lots of lives.

Now to win things that directly gore big capital--single-payer health care, Employee Free Choice Act, financial re-regulation--we really need a labor party, or the threat of an international good example, probably both.
