The Economy and the wars are not Obama's fault!!! Health Care might be!
I think Obama has done everything he could to fix the economy and the handle the war. He has done a great job on two areas that was not his fault! And this country is once again liked by the rest of the world!

There are many other great things he has done and people deserve to give him credit for it.

But I am disappointed in his leadership on Health Care.

I wanted his passion, that made me work for him and made me donate to him, to push hard for a public option. I wanted him walking the halls of congress and calling people on the carpet of the oval office and jumping their ass for not supporting the public option.

I wanted to know 100% where he stood on the topic and busting his ass to get what he wanted.

People here say "That is not how Washington works"....well I'll be damned if I voted for Obama so it would stay status quo. I wanted major change and thought he would really be a totally different president than we had ever had. I am disappointed.

Were my expectations too high? Maybe, but maybe Obama had something to do with that!

Will I work my ass off again in 2012. You bet I will!

Is he the best man in the US for this job, you bet!

Was I expecting more, absolutely I was. And I don't think I am wrong!

what happened when Hillary and Bill tried to do healthcare. This is not the first time that Healthcare reform has tried to be passed but it has usually fallen apart and we have ended up having to wait years. I think he has taken the right approach and the outcome may not please everyone but it is better to have something passed and improved upon than not passed at all. I also think he has busted his butt to get this thing passed despite the media, teabaggers and other people who predicted doom about it's passage.

5. I agree with you! This was more of a strategic move
he had to stay out of it to a point and let the Dems come up with the plans and once that was done then he stepped in. That was the flaw with Bill and Hillary the strategy was wrong.

Here is the bright side if this works and small and medium employers don't have to worry about the burden of skyrocketing healthcare coverage costs they can spend that hard earned cash and invest it back into their businesses. New small and medium companies can and will be created, this is what is going to fuel jobs and the rebirth of America.

I have no faith in big industries they have sold out America for profits, they do not want to see the smaller companies succeed.

4. The reprecussions of whatever he does on all is his fault
He doesnt have to create a problem to escalate or ignore it. Dont be so keen to give politicians a free ride. He signed up to fix these things, so hold him to it
