Is Obama doing a good job as president?

I think he's doing well. Not absolutely super amazingly, but well.

His biggest problem is that he wants to please everybody all the time, and that holds him back.

Right now, the people he's trying to please are the Republicans. At this point, these people can NOT be pleased, no matter what (unless he starts another four wars... maybe then they'll be happy...) It doesn't matter what he does, they'll find a reason to hate him, even if it means resorting down to the colour of his skin (which is called racism).

But he isn't assertive enough. He has all these brilliant ideas, and he's such an amazing speaker. But he is a push over. He needs to get over that. If he can get passed that, he has the potential to do great things :)

NO he is not. That should be painfully and blatantly obvious! It's outrageous! If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!
He makes Jimmy Carter look good!

Hes trying his best. And since some don't think hes trying, voters may turn to other canadates and vote for them and Obama's work will be trash. Hes trying though and every hater should give him a chance. :D

I think Obama's trying his hardest. He has a lot to plan, resolve, and numerous people to please. I currently trust Obama and whatever decisions he plans to make.

I also think that haters should at least be lebih considerate towards Obama's positon.

Imagine; anda are the president, the absolute head of the USA. The country is in perile, there are people rooting against you, and even without those two factors there's still tremendous pressure on you. How would any everyday person honestly react to all of this?

Yes, he's doing an outstanding job. I would have preferred him to follow-up on a few key issues but considering the partisan nature of congress, I'm not sure if those issues can be reasonable pursued. My keseluruhan impression is a guy rooting for the average, blue-collard worker. He bats for the unemployed, the underemployed and the disenfranchised. Personally, single-care insurance was a stroke of genius and I'm confident improvements can be made to ensure the program's efficiency (by the way, does anyone know that the entire bill is 17,000 pages long and includes policies that ensure patient safety care?). Extending unemployment insurance, the payroll tax cuts, his plans to raise HHA wages and his willingness to compromise on issues for the betterment of this country, tells me he's in touch with the average man/woman. It tells me he's not living in a bubble, manufactured sejak political ideologies. I know it would be impossible for him to engage all 435 congressional men and women on a personal level and bring them to a mutual understanding atau compromise but some part of me still believes in it. Unfortunately, for that to occur, every congressional member would have to step out of their offices and walk a mile in the shoes of a struggling American. Anyway, whether he and the entire congressional body is re-elected atau serves one atau two terms, they are contracturally obligated to serve their constituents, and they should all do so with our safety, livelihood, and hearts in mind. They are not entitled (and this includes both Republicans and Democrats) to do anything but put our best interests at hati, tengah-tengah but I digress. This presidency hasn't been easy and we never expected it to be. I like Obama and lebih than that, I feel he has done a remarkable job telah diberi the current state of the political atmosphere in Washington. I don't expect his contributions to be appreciated now atau in the near future but I will say this; whether people are aware of it atau now, this president has inspired the re-surgency in activism; and that influence has been seen the world over. There's something about him that makes anda feel as if anda have a voice and it was meant to be heard. He brings that sense of inclusion in all that he does and with everyone he encounters. So yes, he is doing an outstanding job!

It's hard to say as of right now (in my opinion, anyway). Obama has a hell of a lot of things to clean up and fix. They aren't easy things and there isn't an answer that's going to come out of nowhere and magically fix them. They're going to take time and it's going to take a lot of different methods to get America back the way it used to be.

no.

he isn't hardly doing anything but at the same time i don't blame him. what can he do when the government pretty much robs him of his power. he is lacking in achievements because of the government system

(personally i don't like the checks and balances system)

I think Obama is like our ex president Vicente Fox, everyone was like Oh yeah the change is comming everything is gonna be alright now, but the thing is that there was no change just the same old crap

i think yes...of course!!
i think he is the best president of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA....till date..!

No! He is doing a terrible job! If people say he has all of these outstanding ideas then why isn't he putting those outstanding ideas to work? He has extremely poor leadership skills! If he is trying to please everyone, maybe he should just stop! Maybe he could say to the Congress, "Hey! Lets put our differences aside and do what is best for this country! Lets stop hating on each other, and as a team, lets come up with a brillient idea to help our economy and fix all of our situations!" But is he doing that? No. He needs to get his act together. Everyone right now is blaming the Republicans for not letting Obama pass anything. But lets think about that for a second... How many things has Obama wanted passed? About 2? Its been about 3 years and our President has done absolutly nothing. Everyone else will say, "But what about the Health Care? He tried to pass that!" What good would Health Care have done to fix our economy right now? Honestly, if he would first worry about our economy maybe then after that he can work on Health Care, then all of our other problems. He needs a to do list... And he also goes on all of these vacations that us tax payers help pay for!!! If your country is in trouble, don't anda think anda would help your country first before anda take time off to go golfing and going to the pantai while your people struggle to keep Makanan on the table? He needs to get his act together and help America!
