+9% unemployment
We are still in Iraq and Afghanistan
Guantanamo is still open
Extending the Bush tax cuts
Extending the Patriot Act
Record deficits and higher national debt
Those are just examples. Feel free to add your own. And saying “he has no faults” will not earn you a Best Answer.
Update:Invisible monsters - unemployment was 7% when Obama took office. We are still in Iraq and Afghanistan, Guantanamo is still open despite his promise to close it. He did extend the Bush tax cuts in the aftermath of the 2010 elections (note: this was BEFORE Republicans actually took office. A Congress of lame duck Democrats extended the Bush tax cuts). Obama also extended controversial parts of the Patriot Act in May of this year. And despite his promise to halve the budget deficit, Obama has yet to get a budget deficit under $1 trillion dollars. Bush, meanwhile, had budget deficits under $500 billion for six of his eight years in office. The only deficit above the $600 billion mark for Bush was 2009 when he passed TARP, which has been repayed with interest. Obama has yet to get a single budget deficit under any of the Bush-era deficits. Pick any of George W. Bush's eight years in office, and Obama's deficits are still higher, let alone halved Bush's figures.

I would say his Marxist policies are the worst. They encourage people who are already predisposed not to produce to continue in their slothfulness and they scare producers into not wanting to produce more for fear they will be taxed more.
But I would also say he dealt very poorly with the gulf oil spill, and he has failed to curtail Bush's expensive wars, yea rather he has started his own wars too.
You've mentioned things that Baby Bush started. Obama just can't step in and stop them like a cop pulling you over for speeding !!
The national debt was increased by Bush 43 by fully $ 7 TRILLION bucks(and counting !!).

Passing Obama care against the expressed will of the American people.
When Ted Kennedy passed away there was a special election held for his Senate seat.
When the Republican Scot Brown won it ended the Democrats 60 seat super majority.
In order to avoid bringing a reconciled bill back to the senate the Democrats used the deem it passed/budget reconciliation scam.
In doing so they denied the right of the people of Massachusetts representation
When angry voters called their congressmen and senators to complain the Democrats called them terrorists, which is pretty much what they call anyone who disagrees with them.

Stimulus
All of the above but worst was the way he did the stimulus and health care.
Not being able to fool the American people enough to vote him in for a second term.
Obamacare
winning the 2008 election, he is way out of league and has no idea what he is doing
Signing PORKULUS -- absolutely inexcusable.
