Congress != Progress
Overall he gets a D. He started strong on defense and foreign policy, successfully followed the existing plan to get out of Iraq and he made excellent decisions with the Bin Laden assassination and Afghanistan. However, he missed the boat with Egypt and Libya and was so clueless that he took a victory lap before there was any victory. Now Afghanistan is completely collapsing and his weakness in dealing with Syria has exposed how little talent he has in leading and picking a foreign policy team. He rewards failure.
On the economy, his main focus was the ACA and that just shows how tone deaf he his. The Stimulus was a failure, the financial "reform" is just a way to reward donors, and his green energy debacle was nothing but complete corruption. Again, it has been shown how little talent he has in leading and he appointed people based on ideology instead of ability to execute.
Now that his signature legislation and hope for a legacy is being rolled out, it's clear that he has never run anything in his life. So much failure, and he claims to have not known anything about it. Of course that means that he never saw it as his role to actually find out the real facts. His unaccountable minions are just as inept as he is. The woes of a website that cost hundreds of millions and 3 years of work are just the tips of the icebergs in this very poorly-planned policy.
We really should be glad that this group of starry-eyed nincompoops are running the show. Otherwise it would not be the trainwreck we're seeing, but a very daft power grab of epic proportions.
