Personally, I rather like him. A lot of people are disappointed because he hasn't changed the world yet. The thing is... it doesn't matter who is president of the United States; unless 你 are Harry Potter, 你 will not be able to fix our problems in merely a year. It will take several years, at best. Besides, what president in this last century has accomplished anything of huge significance in their first 年 (besides Truman)? Now, a lot of people don't realize how much he has done for us. If he were not in office at this moment, we'd be much deeper in the recession. The reason people don't notice it is because while it isn't getting worse, it isn't getting better either. But fixing the economy is not a simple task, whether 你 are democratic 或者 republican 或者 independent 或者 whatever (unless, as I mentioned, 你 are a witch 或者 a wizard). I completely understand if someone doesn't like him because they disagree with his policies. He's a very left hand democrat, and while I like that, a lot of right hand republicans may detest that. However, when people don't like him because of his skin color... that is when I lose faith in humanity. Are 你 going to hate green eyed people just because green eyes are obviously a sign of being evil? Seriously? 你 may think that sounds ridiculous, but how is that any less ridiculous than hating someone because of the color of their skin? What if I told 你 I had turquoise skin? Would 你 hate me then just because of that? Personally, I am very democratic, but I try to keep an open mind (which is what really bugs me about politics; most people are unreasonably closed-minded when it comes to anything politics). I think Obama is doing a fine job. I am proud to have him as our president :)
