DADT was repealed under his watch.

Jobs are still being created using stimulus funds - a huge project just started in my city, the latest of many.


Am I disappointed that Gitmo is still open? Yes, though it wasn't for lack of trying on the president's part.
Am I disappointed that the economy is recovering so slowly? Yes, but, slow growth is better than no growth.

The positives outweigh the negatives for me, so under the circumstances, I think he is doing a good job.
This.

ANY US President should refrain from bowing, kneeling or kissing. Kennedy wouldn't do it, Reagan wouldn't do it... however the last few POTUS seem to think subservience is a skill. The office is jaded and becoming meaningless.

Let me know when it reaches 2-1. If Romney pulls down the independents he'll win. I'm not happy with Romney as a choice, but I'm certain he knows how to manage a corporation unlike Obummer. The US is, for the most part, a corporation. The current CEO has bankrupted the company, kick the bum out.

Fire all the government workers and move their jobs off-shore to reduce labor costs?

He stopped a McCain/Palin presidency and pulled out of Iraq and that is really all I expected him to do.

I'm still probably not voting for him, 99% sure Green Party has my vote

Seems even the ardent Obama supporters can't tell what has improved in their life because of Obama policies. Only a couple could make a statement that affected them directly, otherwise it has just been blind supporters parroting the Democratic line.

I was giving Obama Kudos for authorizing the taking out of Bin Ladin, but now it has come to light if it hadn't gone well he was going to blame an Admiral... That is just sad if it's true.

Obama like Bush and many other u.s preisdents is a mixed bag of beans if you ask me. As and idealist and rationalist I don't agree much on Obama decision making. Howerver you guys should know is that obama is not really calling the shots, other people behind the scene that are causing problems such as Aipac and other special interest groups and corporations like banks etc. You guys should wake up and reject liberalism and conservatism because at the end of the day you guys are really sheep. If Romney wins bankers and special interest groups will Flock to him and use him like a toy.
