● Has he exceeded your expectations?

No.

● Do you regret voting for him?

No. Things would likely be much worse if McCain/Palin had been elected.

● If dissatisfied with Obama's performance, would you explain what exactly irks you?

He tries too hard to be liked instead of actually leading and he's too afraid to beat some fools down when they need to be beat down (metaphorically speaking) - and that means fools in his own party as well as the GOP. He also should've focused on jobs from the get-go instead of healthcare.

● Would you vote for him again?

Unless a solid third party candidate arises, yes - if for no other reason than to prevent the Tea Party from gutting our economy even further with their foolishness. They've already shown their willingness to destroy markets and many people's retirements simply to get what they want. And their desire to protect millionaires while raising taxes on the middle class (both Perry's plan and Cain's plan would do so - both plans were celebrated by Tea Party types) would only further erode our nation. As it is, we have inequality on par with Ivory Coast and Jamaica - we should not be passing policies that make this even worse.

What irks me is that the office of the President, in the current political environment, simply isn't capable of getting anything done with a Congress as paralyzed as it is. I know this might sound weird, but it's politics that irks me. Politics, and partisanship, are getting in the way of the hard decisions we have to make in order to get our country back on track. Look at how hard it is for Congress to earnestly deal with the debt, despite the fact that most bipartisan groups, such as Simpson-Bowles, Rivlin-Domenici, and Gang of Six have proposed sensible bipartisan solutions. Look at how hard it is to get the economy back on track. I'm all for getting rid of the regulations that really are burdensome, and I'm for reforming the tax code, but I also believe that we need some serious stimulus spending, and none of the above three things are politically feasible at this point in time. Our legislature is paralyzed to the point where they can't make hard decisions because politics is getting in the way. I don't know whether or not to simply accept politics as a reality of life, or be pissed and join the OWS people. I'm lazy so I'll probably just stick to the former.

● Would you vote for him again?

In 2012? I probably won't be voting at all. Obama, Romney, whatever, it's all the same ****. None of them will be able to make the hard decisions that need to be made, because our democracy has ceased to function.

● Has he exceeded your expectations?

Nope fulfilled them exactly

● Do you regret voting for him?

Nope - didn't vote for him the first time so N/A

● If dissatisfied with Obama's performance, would you explain what exactly irks you?

His political philosophy and view of the USA has proved to be as disastrous as I expected. He was and is too inexperienced for the position as I suspected in 2008. Not that I liked the GOP choice any better. I would have voted for Hillary.

● Would you vote for him again?

N/A
