I feel like I've been fair. I've given Obama some time to operate as president before I passed judgement. I partially supported him before but now I can officially say: he really sucks. I'm voting Republican next election unless they run some real loser asshole.
Obamacare and getting involved in Libya are his two big mistakes. He sucks, he's not in touch with the needs of the country. I am not a liberal-hating conservative but he's clearly a socialist and a fake Christian... the former matters, the latter I don't care about (although I believe it's true).
Obamacare is a quasi-socialist agenda that he's trying to sell as consistent with the needs of the country. It's not. I would like univeral healthcare but it would take sweeping reforms... and if we decide to make those changes, it should probably be done when the economy is doing a little better.
I'm not against socialist initiatives, I just don't like that he incorporates aspects of it into his agendas and then goes and acts like everyone is crazy when they point it out. It doesn't work to go half way, to try to incorporate progressive changes into the current system (maybe incremental changes but not the type of commie stuff he supports and most Americans despise). It isn't compatible.
As told by Bottle
The third year of a presidency is usually when the sitting President's agendas get enacted. I say it's too early to judge. I also agree with current military action in Libya. We have the support of many nations, it's not like we're doing this unilaterally. But, if we send ground troops in and try to overthrow Gaddafi then I have the right to change my mind.
