    Don't, never did. Don't like ANY of his policies. And he hasn't shown himself to be a good leader or true to his word.

    And he just creeps me out...on a personal level.

    It is not fair to put all the troubles of this country and all the turmoil in the world onto Obama's back and accuse him of making things worse. As far as I am concerned, for the short amount of time he has been in office he is addressing the big problems that heretofore have not been seriously addressed. Is he right or will he make things worse? Time will tell, but I give him credit for trying.

    To answer your question, yes, I still like Obama.

    Never liked him. He has done nothing, and only gives floury speeches about "change" and "hope" that is totally meaningless. He is heading down the wrong path of his presidency and people still cheer him on. Every news network besides fox is defending him while our dislike for him grows. If you do like Obama, grab a hold of common sense, you are probably turning into another one of those Obamabot that praise him for his faults. I'm glad the public is turning the cheek.

    do i like him as a person? no. (he's way to fake)

    do i think he is a great president? generally speaking, no.

    he doesn't have the stuff a good president needs to have. he is too easily influenced by greedy associates (Hilary, to give an example) and, as many have pointed out, is still in campaign mode.

    despite all this, however, i do think we needed him. this is why: environmental and social issues have been ignored for far to long in the US, even under leaders whom i support. no president is perfect, but i think Obama is so popular now because he is addressing topics the people want to hear about. do i agree with many of his social policies? hell no. but his want to help halt global climate change has without a doubt commended my respect

    John McCain was another NAFTA candidate. The American worker can't tolerate that.

    We can talk opinions all day. If the voter feels that the candidates policies may put him out of work - or even make his services less in demand - that's a lot stronger than some silly opinion over a beer or something.

    He's cool, he's a smart guy, he's trying to make a change, (but is noticing it's harder than he thought yet won't give up)

    He's a good speaker

    Very intelligent

    Lives near me :D

    And overall, he's just a simple peace maker. Someone that would rather have peace in the country rather than war.

    i dont like the fact that people are giving him credit for things he hasnt even done yet. sure, he has a bunch of great plans, but all bush and him have done is put us further in debt.

    I like him because he is trying to push diplomacy versus unilateral military action. He is trying to clean up the environment and the economy.

    The cash for clunkers helped the auto industry and the environment. The first time homebuyers credit worked to help jolt the real estate industry.

    Never will, never did.

    He is a worthless POS as President. He may have been good organizing ACORN, but he is not a leader. He stays in campaign mode.

    His mature politics. His politeness. His honesty. His neighborliness.
