Hey, why not... let's see if we can keep this kicked for the next 3 years and 4 months! Change your vote as often as you'd like. Maybe it will even calm some of the infighting here at DU down a bit...



Edit: Score him based on your expectations of what he could have reasonably been expected to accomplish; how closely his campaign rhetoric matches what he actually has done, particularly things under his direct control such as appointments and military action. Score him based on whether those things you consider to be errors on his part were understandable or whether they were "unforced errors."; score him against the minimum you would have expected of any Democrat who took seriously their oath of office to protect the U.S. Constitution. (Don't score him against a hypothetical Republican president - we all know he has done better than McCain or Romney would have done.)
