Was Sam really the 'hero' of ROTF? (DOTM Spoilers)

I mean.
1. He could not save Optimus from Megatron in the forest battle.
2. Later he was killed by Megatron only to be revived by the Fallen's brothers.
3. Sure he used the Matrix to bring back Optimus but it was Optimus along with Jetfires parts that lead to the killing of the Fallen and the heavy damage to Megatron causing him to flee.
Yet...
In DOTM they make Sam out to be this two time savior (I won't argue he was in the first film). They have him meet with Obama and sing high praise presumably at some point after ROTF.
But was he really the hero of ROTF to the point that they built him up in DOTM? I'm not so sure.
