Sotomayor is unqualified and shouldn't have been confirmed. Kagan was okay so far as I know about her. I mean I don't like Kagan because I don't share her politics but I don't have a problem with a liberal president nominating her. Sotomayor was just unsuitable.
10 reasons I dislike Obama:
1. Obama blames people for things to an embarrassingly excessive degree.
2. Obama attempts to govern through federal agencies and executive orders in an unconstitutional manner that is incompatible with the separation of powers.
3. Obama lies to an unacceptable degree. All politicians lie, but Obama is unacceptable in the frequent and blatant nature of his lies.
4. Obama is fiscally irresponsible.
5. Obama as president should seek to unite the nation and should not be divisive. Attacking the opposing party is one thing, but attacking the American people is not appropriate for a US President.
6. Obama shows a lack of respect for religious freedom.
7. Obama engages in too much crony capitalism.
8. Obama is too enamored with socialism. Note I did not say his transforming America into a socialist country, but I dislike my president having such close ties to socialist thought.
9. Obama is not effective in foreign affairs.
10. Obama puts is own political gain above the welfare of the nation.
Now if he would just go away. At this point Biden looks good.

Reason: off topic
I think he is doing a good job in difficult times. We desperately need healthcare in this country and he is trying to get it for us. We don't need big rich insurance companies bossing us around, setting the prices (high), and deciding our fate as to whether we can have surgery or treatments, all based upon how much profit they will make. Not so bad if you are very rich and can afford to pay for your own surgery and treatments, not great for everybody else.
No president can really do what he wants to do anyway. I think most of us realize that the country is really run by special interests and it's amazing if a president can accomplish anything at all. A president has to wheel and deal to get anything done.
President Obama is not divisive. Some of the Republicans are divisive though for being against everything just for the sake of being against it.
If anyone says more people are on welfare and food stamps, they're probably right but President Obama inherited a major recession that was in place before he was even elected so of course there are more people living below the poverty line.
We need more regulations on banks and others who got us into this mess.

All fair reasons, but this seems oddly familiar, is it just me or are these pretty much the exact same reasons people dislike all presidents? I remember hearing these exact reasons for why Bush was so awful from liberals about 10 years ago, but Obama isn't that much like Bush, or is he?
Truth is Obama has done a lot even though Republicans are trying to block everything because he is black and they hate seeing a black man as president. Obama is half white and they still hate him
Stop paying attention Faux snooze and Rush they have been lying to you since day 1 and they want you to believe Obama has not done 1 good thing to help this country. Watch any other new organization and you will get the real scope what is really going on

Good site, I need to show my republican friends this site, they all claim he hasn't done anything in the 5 years he has been president! rep point!

He also has an eye problem, I did this and I did that.

Yes, that link certainly isn't superficial by any means. As long as we stay shallow and not explore in detail...Obama is the FDR of getting stuff done!
The sad things is you correctly point out that people like Rush are shallow thinkers...and then you prove that you are a shallow thinker with that link...and you don't even realize it.

You just described what appears to be the healthcare that he put in place. Why don't you do some reading up on it.

There you go...................why not just use the standard mantra: It's Bushes fault. I guess Obama had to increase our national debt to improve our economy??? I recall his promise that he was going to create 7 million NEW jobs (as in adding jobs). How's that working out?

That would be government, who was responsible for bank deregulation.
