Obama is a load of tosh, just like Bush was.

What good has he done?

He's got all the right ****s around him to be categorised as a Bush - Geithner, Bernanke, Summers, etc. He's owned by wall street just like any other US president is.

This is why Lyndon Johnson was different. Yeah he flopped Vietnam, but what he did socially was incredible.

At least he's better than having some crazy right wing nutter in like Palin. However, you're right, he hasn't done anything...
To be fair, there has been massive resistance to everything he's tried to do.

He is too weak...the republicans don't let him do anything anyway...
He's the biggest anticlimax in political history. Not that McCain would have done any better.

He had majority of both the House and the Senate before the mid terms. It was democrats that joined republicans to stop what he was doing.

I was really pleased that he was going to close Guantanamo - did he do it? Of course he didn't. At least we knew Bush didn't care much for civil liberties. This guy's just a liar
Can anyone actually give evidence and/or facts as to why they disagree with Obama's performance so far? Or, will people carry on spouting vitriolic cynicism, whilst lacking a well constructed argument?
You serious? Sure he hasn't done anything spectacular, but Bush was a joke, he did far more harm than good. I'm not saying Obama is the best president in the world, but when you look at the other main candidates, well...

It's very easy to criticise who's in power, but he hasn't actually done any harm.

He made to many promises. Thats why people hate him. its one thing to not do something. Its quite another to lie about doing something.

The Republicans don't have the power to stop him, he made concessions out of choice to appease the Republicans and he went way too far which is why he got destroyed in the mid terms.

But all he had to do for the first two years of his Presidency was convince members of his own party (or people who caucaused with them) and he could pass whatever he wanted.
