Thread: Obama's Job Performance

I'm shocked that we're on the verge of health care reform. I think that those accomplishments in themselves are above average for a year's term. I would have liked to have seen Gitmo closed and troops withdrawn from the Middle East, but I'm content with what has happened thus far and I'm optimistic about the next few years.

I'm pretty much right with you. As much as the right HATES this guy, and the nearly party-line 100% opposition he has faced, I believe in his policies, I agree with many of his social and political views, and I think that with a little less intentional misinformation and fearmongering, he might even be able to keep some of his promises.
