No, he didn’t. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was passed and signed into law by Bush a month before the 2008 election even happened. The only thing you can really say is that Senator Obama was one of 70 yes votes on the bill in the Senate.
Obama signed the American Rescue and Recovery Act of 2009, which was heavily focused on stimulus and assistance to individuals and working families. He also signed Dodd-Frank which put a ton of new restrictions on the banks.
More importantly, Obama’s justice department declined to even really investigate Bush or Cheney for war crimes… Setting the stage for letting Trump get away with as much and now more.
He also legalized, codified, and expanded the drone war, kickstarting the modern drone war state of war.
Obama bailed out banks instead of people which paved the asphalt for their runway.

Obama enacted the first extrajudicial killing of a United States citizen.
The bank bailout was signed into law by GW Bush.
Obama advised it.
He who advised it supplied it. We all know Obama was a blue maga conservative. Palin and McCain would have got us on the path to true progressivism.
I don’t think you have your timeline correct. That happened under Bush.
And car companies instead of investing in public transportation.
Romney would have given money, free kittens, and blowjobs to every poor person.
We have to free ourselves from the shackles of blue maga.
