    I think Obama has done a good job of digging us out of the hole Bush left us in. The recession could have been much worse, but things are already getting better. I think he -acts- like a president also, very well-spoken, very graceful. He doesn't exploit issues or point fingers. He's tried (too hard, I think) to get the two parties working together on shared goals. He pushed his health care plan through and though a lot of us were disappointed with it, it's more than any president has done in the 60 years they've been trying. Now he's working on other needed reforms--finance, etc.

    I'm disappointed with Obama in his actions on restoring the Constitution. He promised to close Guantanamo, to restore habeas corpus, to end torture and rendition--basically to observe the constitutional limits on the executive branch. He hasn't done this. He hasn't ended either of Bush's failed wars.

    Ronald Reagan himself once said that one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. It's not so insane for a president to fail and then insist his plan worked, because he doesn't want to arm the other side. But it IS crazy for a program to fail and then the -next- president to insist it worked.

    He has forwarded the marxist progressive agenda perfectly, taking over all sectors of the economy except for energy and cap and tax will take care of that. What he has done poorly, is sell serfdom to REAL Americans.

    A. Taking advantage of all the perks available (free travel around the globe with Sasquatch and his brood), has shown an expertise in teleprompter usage. Embarrassed this country.

    B. Anything Presidential.

    I'm sure you think he has done everything poorly and you just posted the question because you want a bunch of people to agree with you.
