SO to conclude in this question about Obama satisfaction . .

I AM Disappointed in many things- Gitmo, Iraq, Afghanistan.. yielding too much to the right wingers and GOP filibusters...

BUT

no matter how disappointed I am, and he's not all I wanted - he's 100X better than GW, and Cheney, !! (Dumb-Dick)

I wasn't crazy about ODude when he was in the primaries, I voted for him because the alternative was beyond scary, and I'm not real surprised at his ineffectiveness. I wanted Hillary, not because I liked her, but because she was totally qualified for the job. Obama's been learning on the job since he hit the Oval.

I have to admit being slack jawed at some of his appointments early on. By now? I''m used to it. The man made a lot of promises, as politicians will. But he didn't even try to follow through on the biggies. I'm just glad I was never involved in all the ObamaRama worship that was going around. I should probably feel sorry for the peeps that are still lookin' for the stars that fell outta their eyes. I don't.

Well I like him a little more than you, but I agree, I hope Hillary becomes the first woman President... if for no other reason is to watch Rush's and Beck's heads explode. laugh

but seriously she has enormous experience and in a fight, I think she'd castrate neuter some of the right wing-nutz like Newt, Boehner, Cantor, McConnell, etc ! wink

but I was wondering how Obama was doing as president?


With what he was given and what he's had to contend with in the form of a Loyal Opposition, I'd say he's doing rather well, actually. The first two years represented an incredibly productive legislative session, including the first major overhaul of the Healthcare system in decades, which in and of itself is a huge accomplishment. What he and the Dems are able to accomplish in the next year or so remains to be seen ...

I'm not sure why I'm supposed to be outraged that he didn't accomplish 100% of what he said he wanted to do on the campaign trail -- no president has ever done that and it's foolish to expect one to ... Am I disappointed in some of his decisions? Of course. And frankly, I expect to be disappointed by future decisions, because shockingly he's not making decisions with *me* in mind but what he thinks best for the country as a whole ...

I'm just happy that there's a calm, educated, smart person in that position in the face of incredible challenges to this nation, many, many of which don't have pretty or satisfying solutions. If there is a credible opponent come 2012 with similar smarts and disposition I'll definitely take a look and hopefully have a tough decision to make concerning my vote. Thus far, I'm sorry to say, that hasn't been a worry ;-)

So yeah, overall pretty satisfied. He's not my ideal, but then I wasn't expecting him to be ;-)

The restoration of international respect and trust rather than disdain is monumental.

The fact that the whole world applauded his election says something... if no more than saying something about the previous administration.
