How do you think Obama's doing so far?

I don't really like what he's doing. He always makes pointless compromises with the Republicans who don't even vote for his bills.

I'm not going to agree with him on most issues regardless, but I really don't like the job he's doing. At all.

Not too good in my opinion.

Unfavorable. As the OP said, he's been too comprimising with Republicans, and I would have rather seen GM and Chrysler go under than get bailout money.

i hate him as much as most people hated Bush. I oppose just about everything he stands for.

As long as he does better than the last guy, I won't be any worse than neutral overall. However, rating something as complex as running a nation is a bit disingenuous, as it would almost be impossible to agree on absolutely every decision.

Unfavorable. As the OP said, he's been too comprimising with Republicans, and I would have rather seen GM and Chrysler go under than get bailout money.

Do you have any idea how much of the middle class is supported in one way or another by the auto industry?

Maybe not Chrysler, but GM has already paid their money out, and are back on track to be a great company again. They have improved since the bailout actually.

We couldn't let GM fail.

I'm staying neutral.

It's too early!

Did you guys know that if you say Obama's name backwards it sounds like an Asian person attempting to say "a marble"?bruinfan617

I don't view favorably what he has done so far.

I have no idea what he's doing, but I haven't seen any change yet. IppoTenma

All the other automakers received bailouts as well...

I disagree with his viewpoints up until he started to favor nuclear power and drilling... Well with strings attached of course but, to me, Obama is becoming more centrist just like Bill Clinton. I expect that he'll continue to do so when the Republicans gain control of the senate and house. Does anyone else see that?

There is this remarkable idea that the president of the USA is able to fix everything and do everything at once. He's the president. He doesn't have real power in controlling the social and economic lives of everyone in the US. But he's motivational and youthful, and an inspiration to many young people around the US. He has big ideas as well but I don't agree, nor would I like to see them implemented.

He's doing a fine job imo in terms of not pissing off the rest of the world.

No, they don't adapt to the market, that's the whole problem. Its why they almost failed in the 70s, during the oil embargoes, and they refused to invest in smaller less profitable cars. Then in the middle of the last decade when gas got up to $4/gallon, again they took it in the pants because they were only pushing SUVs/Crossovers. Then the financial crisis put the nail in the coffin, because they couldn't keep up with Japanese automakers who, as always, didn't rely so heavily on one type of car. If they wanted to avoid all this they would have learned from their mistakes the first time they made them.

I don't care what the world thinks of us because they will always find an excuse to hate us while sipping coke and listening to Hannah Montana. Right now, he's pissing off the entire United States for not following up on some of his promises even though he kept most of them while in office.

Yeah, cause it's so stupid to try to form bonds with other countries and reach out.

Not true that the world hates the US for no reason. The US became one of the most beloved countries again after Obama became president.

I'm not suggesting that we start alienating ourselves from the rest of the world. However, we must keep ourselves, as well as our interests, in tact and well from terrorist and opposing powers, in spite of global criticism.

you should have voted for mccainrowzzr

That would've been much, much worse.

What are you referring to, specifically.

Honestly, my life hasn't changed at all. I like how he has been bettering relations with Cuba, but he really isn't changing much in the Middle east.

He's following thru on many of his campaign promises so far. Those are the reasons I voted & volunteered for him, so I think he's doing a fairly good job. Still very concerned about job growth.

He is the same as bush cowering in the corner when it comes to illegal immigration. if he is going to whine about states making laws about it he should do it himself.

Anway i have a very unfavorable opinion right now hes done nothing but lie and lie about his promises.

Obama is doing the best he can, under the circumstances, but gay rights seems to be his only hiccup.
