If you compare Obama's end figures to the Bush end figures in a normal way rather than cherrypicking random stats, it will be clear why he was a good President.
Try looking at the unemployment rate, GDP growth, the Dow, NASDAQ, and consumer confidence. Then measure the debt as a % of GDP, and remember that most of the increase in debt is due to the ongoing effects of the totally insane tax cuts of Bush, who trashed the country's future by spending like a drunken sailor while decreasing revenue drastically.
And then of course Obama steered the country away from a depression. Factor that in and you will understand why some regard Obama as a very good President rather than just good.
