What has Obama done well? What would like to have seen him do differently?

Looking for thoughtful non-partisan answers, that aren't inflammatory or derogatory. Save the insults, and skip the rank and file Obama following. Try your best to present rational points and answer both questions without being sarcastic. I have faith in you all. You can be adults for a minute...

Update:

Wow Chuck and Stanley. Way to not even try to sound intelligent.

    I can't see how you are going to keep the insults off your question, these people can't stop themselves, and telling them not to answer with an insult is an open invitation to each and everyone of them. That aside, President Obama is doing a great job, he's trying to undo what Pres. Bush did, which is going to take up a major portion of his time as President, if it's possible to unbankrupt the U.S. or at least get us back on our feet in 4 years. President Obama can't even begin his own agenda for the U.S. Bush and the Republicans made sure that the next president wouldn't be able to do anymore for this country except to fix what's been done, the hole the dug us into is so deep, it's going to take along time to fill it in, and begin to go forward again. Can't really judge Pres. Obama's progress, based on G.W. Bush destruction, can you. It's like being given a car that has been fire bombed, told to fix it with no money, and you have to bring it back to it's original condition. You can't make changes and use your ideas to make it better, until the car is repaired of the damage it sustained in the fire bombing. Well, that's kind of the same concept as what Pres. Obama has been handed, after G.W. Bush and company bankrupted our country, sold our companies, manufacturers, and jobs to the highest bidder, overseas. Left us with no way to make money and no money in our account. It's a tough position to be in for Pres. Obama, I don't think I would want this job. But, he's still smiling, kinda.

    Obama has done the following well:

    1) He's proven once and for all that a BAD BLACK PRESIDENT is every bit as bad as a BAD WHITE PRESIDENT.

    2) He's bested CARTER as America's absolute worst President - EVER.

    That's my ADULT answer.

    He speaks well and that's about it. Of course very little of what he says comes to pass. He is a great speaker and a great liar and a very lousy president.
