The fact that we haven't had a budget since Obama took office should tell you something ..

He's lucky Jimmy Carter was a president, that way he is not the worst in recent memory.

Obama is just as negative as Carter.

I think Obama is worse than Carter.

Failure. He did accomplish some of the things he set out to do, like end DADT, but he was highly ineffective in general. He controlled both houses for some time and couldn't get anything done. He also betrayed much of his more independent base by continuing bailouts, and signing bills like the NDADA, and he made protesting a felony. The economy is a mess, and debt has soared. I don't know how any independent person can support him. He is a letdown at best.

He has been a huge success.

There are MANY more Americans dependent on government bureaucracy now than the day he took office.

He should be proud that his mission is nearly complete.

As far as getting the ball rolling on RAHOWA he's been a moderate success.

Obama seemed to have improved race relations in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

This was a Teachable Moment.

You need more poll options. It's not black and white, no pun intended.

With the deck of cards he was handed upon taking office, perhaps someone could suggest who would have SURELY done better. It's not that easy, is it?
