What I still find amusing are the claims from certain people that those who voted for Obama view him as the "messiah". Utter claptrap, nonsense and garbage. Like him or not, he is a welcome change from the last moron in office.

Too early to tell but I think that he will be successful.

It seems that many Republicans in particular are unaware that the recession has officially ended. This in Obamas first year in office. Obama is also ending the war in Iraq as promised. So where is the failure?

And yet Republicans are spending their time complaining about Harry Reids comments in his book? Last time I checked there were ZERO black Republicans in the US Congress. Talk about hypocrisy. Also, health care is the #2 priority of Americans behind the economy. Source: http://pollingreport.com/prioriti.htm Republicans aren't concerned about what is important. They are only concerned with attacking Obama and the Democratic Party for partisan political points. Anyone with a brain should be able to see that!

Failure, if only because he 1) overturned the Mexico City Policy and 2) reversed the Bush ban on embryonic stem cell research with cells harvested after 2001. Otherwise I would say he is a middle-of-the-road president,

While Obama's approval rating on terrorism has inched up, his approval ratings for handling the economy and healthcare have declined slightly since they were last measured in late November."
Obama Approval on Terrorism Up to 49%

Isn't it fascinating the way Republicans always denounce polls other than Rasmussen till they find one they like?!

Sorry you have that backwards

Remember how often you heard democrats quoting Bushs approval rating and then even Obamas when he won then once it started dropping like a rock you dont hear them talking about unpopular presidents anymore. You dont see them quoting how popular Obama is anymore. That use to be all you heard was how popular Obama was.

Wonder why I havent heard that in mths. Oh because he isnt so now democrats dont wanna look at the polls easier to keep their head in the sand
