  1.  Yer Ma  But Obamacare is just a band aid. If he could have pulled off universal healthcare, and caught the US up with the rest of the developed world, maybe. FDR gave US workers protections, like wage floors and time ceilings, that still exist today. He gave the elderly social security, that still exists today. He passed Glass-Steagell, the repeal of which many think led to the great recession. He had an absolutely massive infrastructure program, for the time. The creation of the UN. And more. Sure, he wasn't perfect, but what he accomplished during his presidency was extraordinary. Obama is a great orator, but even there he's ranked below JFK and FDR (with his weekly fireside chats). JFK was a great speaker, but he didn't accomplish nearly as much as FDR. He did push to put man on the moon, though (how much of benefit to society that was, maybe some scientific advancements, but it was quite the feat). He would have been the one signing the Civil Rights Act, if he hadn't been shot. He dealt with the Cuban missile crisis, which could have turned into a global disaster. Whether Obama is better than JFK might depend on how much you value putting a man on the moon, and how much credit you give JFK for the Civil Rights Act. Obama probably could have accomplished a lot more, but his, and the DNC's, biggest failure was not filling Ted Kennedy's Senate seat with another Democrat.
