What do you think of Obama in his term so far? Great, good, ok, bad, or butt ugly?

Obama has his faults, but he is doing pretty good so far. Things seem to be evening out and slightly getting better, but we cant be sure what will happen. Until it happens.

I think he has been a joke so far. All he has really done is stand behind his podium and give speeches about how bush screwed up the country. He has failed with the borders, his bailouts have been wasteful and pointless, the healthcare is just sad, but people still like him.

Well hope you know Obama isnt the "leader" of our country. He does have some powers, but congress is the one that makes most decisions based on money and basicly runs our country.

Why? Give me 3 good reasons.agentmanningctu said:
I'll give Obama 90% so far, and thats coming from a major lefty here. I don't like how he didn't fully extend benefits to gay federal employees and I'm also not too pleased with the continued military tribunals, and I'm really not pleased how he doesn't support gay marriage, but the majority of what he has done has made me very pleased.

Agreed. I dont see the problem myself with gay marriage. I think he could get more support if he supported gay marriage, but guess he doesnt want it.

Socialist healthcare? Do you mean Socialized medicine?
He's advocating the creation of a public insurance and healthcare plan, which isn't mandatory. It is there to help those who can't afford healtcare on their own and to kick those insurance companies in the ass for how they treat their patients.
Socialized medicine is forcing everyone to use government medicine, which is not what the Democrats are advocating for.
Raising taxes on the top tax bracket by 3%, is income redistribution?
All it does is return the top tax bracket level to the way they were under Clinton, which I'm sure you will remember we had a terrible economy and tons of poor people losing jobs and an awful reccession under Clinton.
At slightly less than 40%, Obama's radical socialist plan is less than Reagan's 50% tax rate for the top bracket, Nixon's 70%, and Eisenhower's 90%.
Obama's own personal army? Huh? He's the commander in chief of the armed forces. Not sure what ultra right wing crap you're listening to but there's no bill to give him a personal army.
Actually, the tax payers own GM, not the US Government. If you recall, the Government simply bailed out their finances and now they're in even more of a mess, and they are actually guiding themselves and restructuring their company. The government is not managing the day to do administration of their company.
