I'd say not real good, but I spose that depends on your point of view, how you voted, how brown your face is by now. I could be wrong. Here's some pointers I picked up for a discussion with a friend, some things that are just beyond the pale for a US President to do. Remember, theis is MY POV.

1. Offended the Queen of England
2. Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia
3. Praised the Marxist Daniel Ortega
4. Kissed Hugo Chavez on the cheek
5. Endorsed the Socialist Evo Morales of Bolivia
6. Announced we would meet with Iranians with no pre-conditions
7 Gave away billions to AIG, also without pre-conditions
8. Expanded the bailouts
9. Insulted everyone who has ever loved a Special Olympian
10. Doubled our national debt .
11. Announced a termination of the space defense system the day after the North Koreans launched an ICBM.
12. Despite the urgings of his own CIA director and the prior 42 CIA directors, released information on intelligence gathering. Announced major restrictions on interrogation techniques used on enemy combatant prisoners.
13. Accepted without public comment the fact that five of his cabinet members cheated on their taxes and two other appointees withdrew after they couldn't take the heat.
14. Appointed a Homeland Security Chief who quickly identified as "dangers to the nation", groups including veterans of the military, and opponents to abortion on demand, and who ordered that the word terrorism no longer be used but instead referred to such acts as man made disasters.
15. Circled the globe so he could openly apologize for America 's greatness.
16. Told Mexicans the violence in their country was mostly caused by illegal guns from the U.S.
17. Politicized the census by moving it into the White House from its Department of Commerce origins and announced ACORN [the organization under massive scrutiny amid allegations of election fraud] would manage the process.
18. Appointed as Attorney General the man who orchestrated the forced removal and expulsion from America to Cuba of a nine-year old whose mother died trying to bring him to a life of freedom in the United States
19. Salutes as heroes three Navy SEALS who took down three terrorists who threatened one American life and the next day announces members of the Bush administration will likely stand trial for torturing a terrorist who had played a part in killing 3000 Americans by pouring water over his face.
20. Air Force One flew over New York City for a photo op without notifying local authorities causing widespread panic.
21. Took over the American Automobile industry and handed over 50% off to the unions [because he said he owed them].
22. Continued his drive for absolute gun control activities, thumbing his nose at the 2nd Amendment.
23. Offered travel and living subsidies in the U.S. to Hamas activists displaced from the Gaza Strip.
24. Got more airtime [TV] than Oprah Winfrey and was seldom in Washington tending to the business of State.
25. Announced the closure of enemy combatants detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba but failed to address the issue of 'what' to do with the 200+ prisoners currently held there. Rumors persist that they'll be housed on U.S. soil...

Other than that, we're doing just fine.

Only 1360 (+/-) more FRIGHTENING days to go...

It seems to me that Obama is the sort of person that would beg at the feet of Kim Jong Il.

You said it pretty much in the first paragraph "I could be wrong."

Native Americans were labeled SAVAGES when standing up for their land!

I'm still waiting for results. I do not give a damn about feel good polls. Results. And so far, none. But, it is still early to tell but I'm waiting for four years and beyond in my waiting for "results." What I mean is if the tactic is used where by nothing positive is done for the American people, not the world, in the first 4 years only to be told that the next 4 years will bear fruit, my vote is going elsewhere.

Default So, how is President Obama doing so far?

So, how is President Obama doing so far?
Let's see: Double digit unemployment. Quadrupling of the national debt. No plan on how to encourage corporate growth. Tax and Trade. More taxes. More fees. Increased regulation. Gov't largess. Nationalizations. Cozying up with Marxists. Abandoning USA as the voice of freedom. Extra-executive powers with the creation of czars. Apologetic for our GREAT Nation. Terrorists are now insurgents, conservatives the new terrorists. And one butt ugly wife.

Terrible.

Not Happy, Pretty sad, when you see Mr. President in his first 100 days in office, running around apologizing all over the world like America has been the problem all along.

Now those of us who own a home are they going to be worth anything at all. He is the President of Doom and Gloom!!!! He will be known as the President, that changed America. God help us!!!!
