I do have to say that I have become disappointed with him over time. But we've got to remember that he's had an extremely hard time getting anything done or passed in Washington due to the fact that the conservatives and republicans have made it damn near impossible on him to do anything. The republican party's whole reason to exist right now is to make sure that they make his term as hard as it can be. I believe that President Obama has good intentions but he had been foiled so many times by the republicans or by (I personally believe) people in his own staff the have that have their own hidden agenda. I've always thought that it would've done him well to clean house with a lot of his staff and hire new people with a fine tooth comb. And what is up with all of this bipartisan junk that he was trying to do... the republicans have never wanted to work with him, their only reason for getting up in the morning is to oppose him, even if middle American society suffers because of it. But then on the other hand, the President did bail out the automakers in order to keep our economy from going from hell to the pits of hell. And he's taken a strong stand for universal healthcare. He's done a lot considering all that needed to be done after Bush Jr left office. You can't blame Obama for everything that's still wrong with the country, it may take two or three more good presidencies (hopefully) in order to fix everything that happened during the 2000's.
