Positives: More transparency: His weekly addresses and various White House activities have been made available for viewing of the public. He plans for the long term, so those impatient forget that his economics aren’t meant for temporary relief, but long term repair, a real change.
He’s kept his promise, deploying troops into Afghanistan – where we should be to fight those responsible AND track down Osama Bin Laden. He’s pulled troops out of Iraq as promised as well.
Health care reform has been supported in polls from anywhere between 73-84% of the nation, which is being debated in Congress. However, the media is bias and is demonizing the Reform, making it look like it’s not going to pass.
I approve of him so far.
Notice the those that critique him resort to names, or even ridiculous declarations such as the end of the United States, however – Reason should not be checked with Tradition, but rather tradition with reason.
Traditionally, we have made the mistakes of making only temporary fixes whilst things and problems stay the same.
We are finally beginning to move forward.
I encourage you to watch to Youtube a clips of show called The Young Turks.
Obama is doing a good job.
many of the things he is trying to accomplish are difficult because things were in such bad shape when he took office but he is doing better than anyone should expect given the fact that America was on the wrong path for 8 long years prior to his inauguration.
there are some people (mostly republicans) who have a vested interest in his failure so they are doing their best to alter the perception of his positive accomplishments.
I like him but I think he should start paying up on what he promised
As far as I can tell he’s healthy, well-paid, and has a nice enough family. He also owns a dog.
The negative aspect is that he is a politician.
I think he is being tested big time . May be a bit more then he bargained for . Bush got away with so much more then any president in history and now Obama has all eyes on him . But ill make my final decision when his first term is up on how he did . Im afraid if does nothing amazing then he is out of there
I’m thankful that the Blue Dog Democrats are finally standing up to Obama and his regime. Government already has wayyyy too much power over it’s citizens.
So far, so good.
i agree with the user "zionists are the true terrorists". but barack obama has been better than the republicans that we have had. he supports universal healthcare, and gives a s*** about the environment, among other things. you will not get a satisfactory answer on yahoo answers because there are many sides to the matter and reading through the comments you will recieve; most people on this site are incapable of intelligent debate. plus, the democrat:republican ratio on the website is way off.
The Obama administration is less than seven months old and, quite honestly, his presidency is really worse than I imagined it would be…
Take the stimulus package, or, in the words of Joe Biden, "the so-called stimulus package." Obama goes on TV and tells us that it’s the only thing that will keep us from winding up in Hoovervilles, selling apples on the street and becoming a nation of hobos.
This is false reality. Usually, when you have large deficit with easy monetary policies, you are likely to have high inflation.
Therefore, he is a liar, and he makes Bernie Madoff look like an amateur.
He wants government run medical insurance that decides what treatment you will get. He has a run up trillions more in debt his first 6 months in office,more than all the president combined, before him.
He has made racial profiles of White Americans and insulted law enforcement.
He is working on carbon taxes that will force all of our bills to sky rocket and put more business under.
I guess you could say he is doing great if his plan is on destroying the United States!
I think He is doing GREAT.
Stock market is going up. Housing stabilized. Violence way down in the middle east.
Looks good so far.
I think he is a disaster.
He is selling out our financial sector to put it under the IMF and World Bank per his unConstitutional G20 accord.
He is expanding wars overseas after running as the ‘peace candidate’.
He is trashing civil liberties, trying to strengthen telecom company immunities from prosecution for illegal invasion of citizen privacy and disseminating private information.
He is institutionalizing unConstitutional ‘indefinite preventative detention’.
He is ignoring limits on his ability to restrict our freedom and raid our wallets by the stimulus bill, the rationed health insurance requirement, etc.
He is trying to drive industry overseas where they would polute dirtier due to absence of environmental requirements, sending our jobs and money overseas, under the guise of environmental protection, when the opposite would result….
He spins yarns with carefully chosen poetic metaphors to inspire people to believe his policies are the opposite of what they are. I shorten this to ‘lying’.
I could go on, but why?
The man is a disaster.

Lamont, just based on what has passed SO FAR we will have a two trillion dollar deficit this year and the Fed has DOUBLED THE MONEY SUPPLY. Spending the money on a new credit card makes you seem ‘rich’ for a while, but then the bills come due.
Negatives: spending a lot of money about 4 times as much as bush spent over the next 10 years. Is encouraging congress to rush through legislation without giving them much time to read it (shady), promised transparency but is not delivering on that. said he would close Gitmo, now he isn’t doing that. War in Afghanistan has been expanded. He failed at getting Russia, France, England, and most of Europe on the same page as far as the world economy is concerned. Wants to push cap and trade although it will cost the economy 2.5 million jobs and will only create temporary jobs, at the same time utility prices will skyrocket
Positives: bush is outta office, Obama speaks well, He is reaching out to the Arab world.
I think he is doing exactly like I expected- bad.
Negatives: He has reneged on many campaign promises. For example, he promised to allow congress enough time to properly read bills before passing them, yet he is trying to hurry his health care bill before August, just like he did his stimulus package. He has promised to bring a new kind of politics and not use "scare tactics" to get his way, which is what he accused Bush and McCain of doing, yet he has used them to try to pass this health care plan. He has promised to close Gitmo, yet has no plan on how this should be done or where the prisoners should be taken. He has also passed the huge Stimulus Package, costing the US trillions, while not reducing unemployment or helping our economy.
Positives: ?
RIGHT NOW, I DON’T GIVE A SHEAT ABOUT HIM!
WHITE PPL HAVE HAD BLACKS APOLOGIZING ALL THEIR DAM LIVES AND HE
APOLOGIZES TO THE DAM LEGAL KKIK…. THE POLICE.
F***** OBAMA!
no, he is not doing too well. not too well at all.
negatives: spent $800 billion on a worthless, pork-filled "stimulus" bill. spent the rest of his time trying to ram through a health care bill that nobody wants, a cap and trade bill that is dangerous, and card check. he also has taken over several private industries, including the insurance companies, many banks, over 50% of mortgages are now owned by the gov’t, and the car companies, except for Ford.
positives: Umm, he allowed the military to kill those pirates a few months back. that’s about all I can think of really.
He’s doing great. The people that hate him still want to live in the 20th century and will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
Life was so dull, we were all so mopey
Then came Barry and we all got hopey
We believed the bum, then discovered he’s dumb
So now we just call him Dopey
good if you hate america
I’m dissatisfied
He’s a moron. Look at the stupid face in my avatar.
they are all the same (full of @#$%)
He’s a step above the dictator of NK.
