I think Obama did ok actually, at least he signed the health care reform that will make a huge difference for millions of people who are too poor to get their teeth fixed. Unfortunately the way the electoral system works, hundreds of thousands of people who vote are easily outbalanced by small fraction with massive bank accounts. There are numerous papers on the effect of campaign contributions on policy, and it's pretty clear that unless that is changed, the poor will continue having practically no voice in this system. http://www.hks.harvard.edu/news-events/publications/impact-n...
