Unless you listen to all the people screaming, "SOCIALIST MUSLIM TERRORIST111" at him while he's handing them trillions of dollars in corporate welfare and tax breaks. It IS possible for a leader to have both integrity and effectiveness, it's just increasingly unlikely in a political system this badly broken. With government restricted to only two parties, both of them wholly owned corporate subsidiaries, the other 300 million people in America are little better than underpaid overworked employees waiting for the final round of layoffs to put them on the street to slowly starve to death.
