Exceptionally well.

We have put most of the disaster of the Bush deregulation myth and subsequent implosion (brought to you courtest of your friends in the "banking free market") behind us.

We have not followed the prescription of the Wall Street Journal or Fox Business, to balance the budget at any cost, which is what much of Europe did, with the resulting depression and unemployment rates triple that of the US.

We have pulled out of Iraq and are trying to do so in Afghanistan.

And we have the semblance of a health insurance plan which may end up providing affordable health care to 50 million Americans who didn't have it before, and reducing the cost to those who did - if the experience of New York, California, Oregon and Massachusetts so far are any indication.

Exceptionally well, indeed.

Oh, yeah. Teen age pregnancy down. Abortion rate down. Crime rate down. Job creation up. Drug use down. Which of those were you hoping would go the other way?
