Quite personally, I think he hasn't been the greatest or the worst and that some of you guys are over-exaggerating how bad he is through trying to depict him as the anti-christ. IMO right man, wrong time. In a time of crisis like now, I think the country needs a "strict" and more traditional president to guide us.

Fine, not the best. He's more of a landmark, if you know what I mean.

Given what he had to work with--the disarray from mistakes left behind by a person who had no business being in office, especially for 2 terms--I would say that progress will come slowly, and that any errors and setbacks must be expected, and may not necessarily come as the fault of Obama. I think that he is doing a fine job.

Too early to say. You usually can only judge a decade or so after the president leaves office. However, he's been a decent president so far. He's made some good decisions that I've agreed with and some bad decisions that I've disagreed with. He's been an average president IMO.

He hasn't done that much. His Health Care has really been his only achievement. Most of the other things have been things anyone as president would have pursued. So I personally don't think just judging by his actions he hasn't been that good. Now not saying he's been the worst, there have been many many presidents worse than him. Has he been good enough to have a 2nd term, I don't think so.

My life has barely changed. Seeing as he was the candidate for 'change', logically I must give him a below average grade.

Like I said before, we need a more traditional president who leads with a firm hand...and it might help if maybe he read a few things from the bible in his speeches every now and then. :D

Barack Hussein Obama is a Kenyan man who faked his birth certificate to become president of the United States. He is also a socialist, communist, marxist, fascist, nazi, tyrannical muslim terrorist who hates white people. He plans to destroy America from the inside.
Obama also plans to kill the old and the disabled with his health care reform and to kills babies with his birth control. He also eats his burger wrong. Evil Bastard.

I completely agree with this. Well put.

It's tough to judge him after less than 2 years. Especially after Bush's administration wrecked things for the prior 8. It's much harder to fix things than it is to screw them up.

Hes not good. Not the worst though. I wish he wasn't so set on that healthcare bill.

Though, he gets so much less hate for similar things to what Bush did. Its just sad.

Although it's still too early to judge his presidency, I think he's been a good president so far. I think he could have done a better job on the economy (including a second stimulus package, but that never would've gotten through Congress), but in terms of Congressional legislation, USSC nominees, etc. I'm pretty happy.

With a few exceptions, he has been doing what he said he would do while campaigning. Which I mostly agreed with. I'd say the only legitimate complaints against him should be with the liberal policy in general.

Healthcare reform and financial reform are great. Don't ask, don't tell is also on its way out. The world loves us again. The oil spill wasn't his fault, but he did extract billions from BP to use in the clean-up. The stimulus was a major failure. Not nearly enough money was spent to have an impact. I'd also mark him down for immigration, but I don't care in the least who is coming here. I'd give him a C+/B-. It would be an A- if the economy wasn't in the crapper.

He's been above average, but nothing life changing. He is actually tackling a variety of issues that previous administrations did nothing to acknowledge.

We don't have nationalized health care. It amazes me that people still buy into this.

I think he's been good. He's done, I believe, the best job possible under the circumstances he's faced with.

No, wrong. He's an okay president. But the only problem is that he doesn't have it, he's not experienced enough to lead a country. And leading a country has a lot of responsibility. He just doesn't have it.

I think he's been allright thus far. I do think he will lose a lot of fellow Democrat seats this November. How he will negotiate with a larger Republican presence in either or both houses I think will shape his chances when the time comes for re-election time.

the healthcare bill won't really start to effect people for at least a couple of years (if i remember correctly).

I was by no means under any delusion by all his promises, i measured him by his history, his life living outside of the US and being a kid raised by a white mother, an Indonesian step father, and white grandparents. I saw him as a person of someone i would typically agree with more often then not.

Mind you i didn't have anything really against McCain either, i can respect both sides of the political debate and i do think they both have merits. and regardless of whatever my conservative or liberal friends tell me, i still say that despite myself being - what would typically be labeled as liberal - If i thought either Republican/Democrat had a 100% fool proof everyone is happy platform we wouldn't have these debates nor a democracy for that matter.

Wow, almost 2 years later and people are still trying to blame Bush for Obama's failures.

They always will. And no, he hasn't been a good President. Almost everything they've done has been against the majority of people's opinion.

Wow, almost 2 years later and people are still trying to blame Bush for Obama's failures.

They always will. And no, he hasn't been a good President. Almost everything they've done has been against the majority of people's opinion.

Thus far he's, for the most part, done what he campaigned on, so it would seem that what he's doing is, in fact, in accordance to the majority of people's opinion.
