Loaded question, I realize, but I am curious about how other Democrats are feeling President Obama is doing, now that he has had some time to settle into office. During the presidential election, I was in the Obama camp the entire time, and I am the first to acknowledge that he walked into a fiscal mess and a country at war. Taking those things into account, how do you believe he is doing so far?
One of my biggest issues was health care reform and I feel like the country is on the right track there, but otherwise, I'm not not as pumped up as I was hoping to be at this point in his presidency.
How are other Democrats viewing things thus far? Will he get us back on the right track fiscally? Will the health care reform bill that is currently proposed help or harm citizens in the lower-middle socioeconomic status in the US in your opinion?

I'm not a Democrat... not anymore anyway, I think I was at one point in some ways... but I just got to ask...
Have you read the Proposed Healthcare Bills so far? I'm all for healthcare reform but I am seriously concerned about what the final product out of Congress with be.

I'm not going to get into a political dicussion because I will whole-heartedly admit that I am not that "in the loop" on today's politics. However, from what I have heard about the health care reforms-- I am with you, I am little worried about what they are going to come up with. I have heard things like huge fines for not having health insurance, and taxing soda to raise the money for the reform. Thats just the start of it. It does concern me, and I hope they can do the reforming right rather then making things worse.

If I had to give him a grade I would give him an F- cause he doesn't know what he's doing and he's just plain stupid......He should be impeached and thrown out of office.......
He has done nothing but raise taxes, he hasn't seen a tax he doesn't like.......Face it he's just plain stupid and doesn't know how to run the country...Everything he touches to to crap....

As an Indian i am very happy with the leadership of Mr. Obama. Specially i likes his Character, Kindness, Simplicity very much. It's very rare to watch people like him. He feels proud that he is US citizen, but he never feels proudish that he is the President of US ( Super power country ). It's very good to watch and Impressive.
