Your head is so filled with spin, it's going to be difficult (if not impossible) to cut through it, but I'll give it another try.
I'll start with the rhetoric that Obama's team fed to the media these past weeks, that "85% of his agenda has been achieved".
I'm sure that's true -- But it's not 'our' (the American people's) agenda, but rather the agenda of transnational corporations. It's not what Obama ran on, it's not what Democratic voters put Obama and Democrats into power to do on their behalf.
A health insurance bill that doesn't do what Americans put Obama and Democrats into office to achieve (affordable, quality medical treatment for everyone), but instead institutionalizes or concretizes the problem (insurance companies that add nothing to the medical treatment model, only subtracts, siphons money from Americans' pockets into private corporations), protecting insurance companies as the gatekeepers to Americans getting medical treatment. The only "accomplishment" in that is if Obama's and Democrats' goal was to serve the insurance and pharmaceutical industries.
Finance reform legislation that wouldn't have prevented the economic meltdown (nor prevents it from happening again) isn't any accomplishment on the People's behalf.
