His bail out has be a little iffy but its still to early to tell if it will work or not yet or if it was a waste. Other than that hes been pretty good so far.

While it's still early in his presidency, he certainly is dealing with more things than any president had to deal with at one time in decades. He's doing a pretty good balancing act for only being in office a few months.

I'm really looking forward to how things look another two years from now when some of these other things have moved on, and things like real estate and stocks have come back a little more.

Yeah, so far he's been mediocore if you ask me.

Nothing has gone horribly wrong thus far, hopefully nothing ever will

but he is a politician, and therefore, cannot be trusted, along with all the others :P

So if Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, or Ghandi decided to run for president you wouldn't trust them one bit?  Because the second you decide to run, you become a politician.

The whole "All politicians are evil" argument is lame and has no base.

Indeed! Unlike his predecessor, he can read the teleprompter quite well.... well.. I guess being able to read makes him 100% better.

he hasn't been a bad president

he has been the worst president in the history of america or what will be left of america once he gets done

its only been 6 months jeez, you can't even make a informed opinion on this for at least another year and a half.

Got any specifics on how Obama is the worst president in history? As for what is "left of America", things change. The America that you're feeling overly nostalgic about is nothing like how the America of the 19th century or the 18th century was. I'm sure if Washington or Jefferson were transported to any time in the 20th century they wouldn't recogonize the country they started. My point is that over time everything changes eventually. Even America. You can either adapt to the changes or live in the past....your choice. Either way the change will come be it from Obama or someone else.

QFT.

I'm sure when they stopped making buggy wagons for horses as the primary mode of transportation, there were some old, clueless dodgers going "Cars? Bah. They'll never take off. You'll see.. they'll fade in a few years and I'll have the corner market on horses, you ninnies!" This reminds me of these people talking about fuel efficient cars vs gas-guzzling SUVs and trucks.

There's always a few resistant to improvements and want to keep things like the "good ol' days". Just ask all the old timers about the 50s. To them, that was the bestest times evah! At least that's what they were saying now, but they forget they were building nuclear fallout shelters in their backyards.

Good times, lol.

Easily the worst president in my lifetime so far (it's early yet). He is making Bush look good. Heck, he is making CARTER look good.

Precisely what im saying, I would not have any trust them unless they did something that could prove why I should. Along with many other officials I suppose I am prejudice against :P

It has plenty of base, to many corrupt politicians in our past for my tastes, and I can't at the moment think of any name that I could say was "completely honest" in his work.

   You know the only one of those people that could actually run for president is Martin Luther King Jr., right?

   You know, assuming any of those people were still alive.

Although they probably needed to do something about the intrests rate .I am what Credit card companies call deadbeat user.I have had a Visa grace card for 21 years and have never paid any interest on it,I always pay it off early(good habit is to not charge anything you cant pay cash for) they are going to start penalizing people like me who live withing their means.Another way to force control over people,I dont like where all this is heading.

Wolfenpride please apologise immediately! How dare you insinuate that the great Obama is not trustworthy. Lol

Understatement.

The "he's ok I guess" types will be singing alot different tune here in 10 or so months.

Economy is anemic and its largely do to Obama's overspending and significant government insertion into private business.

Money is going down in value and confidence in investing with it during an already significant global recession.

His 'USA is Bad: Apology Tours' ' rub most Americans the wrong way.

Polls are showing people do not think the USA is on the right track. They still like him personally but nothing he is doing...lol

His "speech" routine has run its course.

"Hope and Change" "Yes We Can" "We Won".. all that crap is dying fast.

Teleprompter reading, egotistical nose tilt ,general narcissism, arrogance are just compounding his bad policies.

More and more often you read or hear people say they made a mistake with their vote for Obama. Unless something significantly changes(like Biden becomes President) this administration is one term and considered a 'mistake worse then Carter' by most.
