Which Obama will history remember?

Will it be the one who appointed wall street "bigs" to run the US governments financial institutions?  The one who calls for scaling back Congress's efforts to regulate the financial sector post the 2008 financial melt down?

Or the Obama who twists corporate arms to reduce financial executive pay, fire a General Motors CEO, and gets BP to set up a free standing fund to pay financial losses due to the oil spill.

Will trying to do both lead to a perception that he is an astute, pragmatic, and successful politician, or will he please no one and fail to be reelected because he doesn't excite his natural supporters enough to really care?
