what has he done that I have not liked?
I think he has been to detached from the health care bill, I think he should have pushed harder for the public option as it would be the greatest cost savings long term I think, and do the most good. I think the current bill is weak and bows to special interest to much. ( that said is it better then no bill at all...I am not sure, but I there are many good key points in it still)
I would have liked to see him push harder to go after torture and the those who said to do it. I understand the wanting to move on ( it would take to much time and political capital and could have cost health care) but I take the white house.
I think at times he has been to shy in saying in detail what he wants...while letting the house and senate go all over the place...and him taking the heat for what ever they come up with...He needs to say what he wants, and push them to those ends....or be more clear when he disagrees...though the right has shown it does not matter...if anyone does anything they don't like, who is left of Regan, they will blame Obama..
At same time I have liked that he has gone hard against militants in Pakistan ( more strikes then Bush had in 7 years, in his first)
Sent more troops to Afganistan.
He actually fired missiles and attacked bases in Yemen just weeks before the xmas day attack failed.
And unlike the Right, at least he actuly looks like he will get some form of health care reform even if I think its weak and lacks what is needed and has to much for special interest. And the Econ is turning around , and yes I give him some credit for that..
