Poll question: Pesident Obama: What You Were Expecting?
A lot of recent activity from the Obama administration. Is this what you were expecting from candidate Obama?

1. We were warned we were projecting too high. The man is a
politician after all and this seems to be a political decision.

There is only so much that a President can do and he's already begun a lot of things, maybe even too much, and rightly or wrongly, he figures he has to choose his fights with the best interests of the population at heart.

At least that's what I'm hoping.

2. If this is about the photos, I applaud him for his decision. It was actually harder
for him to ignore many on the left that want blood. I for one am a liberal, but I see no good in releasing these photos. The Memos are one thing, but to bring new visuals to this would've been a bad move.

3. Although it is what I expected, it still makes me want to vomit.

4. He has alread done more than I expected in his first 6 months. I am
not happy with all his ideas or decisions, but they are at times dictated by circumstances rather than ideals. Remember, he still has to work with the US congress, a collection of failed lawyers available to the highest bidder, and work against the MSM which still counts for something even in its current disgusting state.
He is doing better than I expected.
