I think he’s doing a pretty good job also. I’m not *really* happy with how he’s done *anything*, yet neither am I totally pissed. Most of my disappointment is with Congress, not Obama.

Still, he runs the risk of pleasing nobody and not really achieving anything of value by staying dead center.

He needs to take more of a lead with Congress, in particular the far left. Instead of letting Pelosi & Reid drive, he needs to relegate them to the passenger seat, at least, and take the wheel himself.

So now that enough time has passed, how do you think Obama is doing ? Is he fulfilling his promises ? Are some right to call him MaObama ?
Personally I think he’s doing a great job walking in the middle. Not going too far left or right, not being to aggressive in foreign politics etc. I just hope that he’s secretly working on the problems we’re facing, not just trying to cool down the atmosphere a bit

We’ll see. Heard Michael Porter on Tom Kean’s Bloomberg show last night. Said we need to focus on what makes America competitive and strong again (education, tech, etc.) instead of going for the “quick fix” make-work job creation.

But as I said, Obama’s a politician, and subject to those pressures. Not a perfect world. Hopefully we’ll get partway there, at least.

I was optimistically hopeful until he started the stimulus package. Too much payback, not enough stimulus. Smells more like a buyoff than a solution.
