1. Come on folks! Obama needs some love.

[Number23]

69. Sending love from hot as hell Australia!!

December is supposed to be COLD! People should not be wearing flip flops at Christmas time!! :rofl:
:thumbsup:

[Liberal_in_LA]

87. Thanks!

:hi:

[Warpy]

2. I am every time I think of Gidget and The Geezer

and realize what an awful mess we'd be in by now.

While it doesn't seem like Obama has done that much at times, we seem to have escaped a depression for now in favor of a deep recession.

Nobody who was raised by Depression babies wants another one.

[blondeatlast]

18. Agreed on all points. My mom and dad survived the Depression and

the Reagan years are still all too fresh in my mind.

Not to mention that McCain's been my Senator my entire voting life--no thanks.

[cutlassmama]

3. In. And even though I'm disappointed with the health care bill, he still

got some sort of health care reform passed. The past 7 presidents haven't been able to. Can you imagine if McCain or Palin were President during this economic mess Bush left us in? We'd be in a hell of a mess.

[spanone]

4. yep

[madokie]

5. You bet I am

[countingbluecars]

6. I'm in! n/t

[HuckleB]

7. Here! Here!

:toast:

[AllentownJake]

8. I'd like to see more of the guy I voted for

but even this new guy is better than John and Sarah.

[Cant trust em]

12. Bingo. nt

[StarfarerBill]

32. Ditto.

[bobburgster]

33. Got that right!

[varelse]

98. Yep

guess I'll have to rec this for pretty much the same reason.

[azmouse]

9. Here!

[UTUSN]

10. K&R #6 !1 n/t

[Orsino]

11. Yep.

I'm not sure that anyone else could pilot this failpile any better.

It is unfortunate that we so badly need him to be perfect. There is, it seem, absolutely no margin for error.

[kestrel91316]

13. He's not perfect, but I never expected perfection. He's NOT a Republican.

[NJmaverick]

14. He is doing what he said he would do, he is trying his best and he is doing a pretty good job

I can't ask for more than that. He has put a real dent in the mess that he was given.

[Blue Owl]

15. So much better than McPalin

Without a doubt.

I am a harsh critic of his Afgahn war, landmine, patriot act, and HCR policies. Sometimes I want change to happen faster.

But at the end of the day, I try to remember what it was like on Nov. 4, 2008 when we at least symbolically voted out Bu$hCo and the GOP.

It was a great feeling.

Let's keep working -- 3 years is a long time to get things done!

[live love laugh]

16. I am! I am! nt

It's wonderful not to fear any more what fresh hell is in store for us. Eight years of that is Enough!

22. Hell Yeah

It's about time that we got an intelligent person in the White House that can speak in complete sentences!

[Aramchek]

24. Best President since FDR

[Ernesto]

25. I'm IN! nt

[apocalypsehow]

26. Here. n/t.

[Greyskye]

27. I'm glad it's not McCain. I wish it was more the Obama I voted for, though.

I still support him, but I wish there was a little more reciprocity involved!

[LynneSin]

28. In a way I do too, but then again I'd like to finalize my opinion aorund mid-2011

that way I can decide if I should vote for him in 2010 or find another candidate.

But if I was told that I had to vote today - I would vote for Obama.

[WI_DEM]

29. despite some disappointment--yes, I am.

[Bobbie Jo]

30. Big K&R

:kick:

[Spirochete]

31. As opposed to McCain?

Of course I am

[bobburgster]

34. In the end....

We Win!

:thumbsup:

[iceman66]

35. Hell, yes.

[diane in sf]

36. as opposed to any Repug, absolutely, could he be less corporate, absolutely

[RedEarth]

37. Damn right....... and I think he's doing a good job

I don't agree with everything he's done, but the alternative of McCain/Palin would have been a complete nightmare.

[zippy890]

38. oh I dunno. McCain would be SO much better

lets see - we'd have bombed Iran by now, unemployment at 25%.......

O the things we've missed out on having Obama as President.

:P

I think he's doing a fine job. and I'm going to call him 'Barry' now.

:hi:

[phasma ex machina]

54. +1 "we'd have bombed Iran by now" nt

[silverweb]

39. Every day.

:thumbsup:

[malaise]

40. I'm very glad

It could have been McGramps and Palin.

[Jane Austin]

41. I am very glad

and thankful, too, that Obama is our President.

[Odin2005]

42. Am disapointed with his performance, but he's better than any Republican.

[NYC_SKP]

43. Well yeah I'm glad he's in charge and kicking ass.

And was the best the primaries had to offer.

[Aristus]

44. Right here!

I'm not a member of the "We would have been better off with McCain and Palin" crowd. I'm still thrilled. Expecting a perfect President is a fool's dream. At least we no longer have a fool for a President... :thumbsup:

[SOS]

45. Kick

Reagan, Bush 41, Bush 43, McCain/Palin....

Very pleased.

[AlinPA]

46. Yes.

[L0oniX]

47. ...---...

[grahamhgreen]

48. Not yet... but I wont unrec

[MorningGlow]

49. Here!

K&R

[euphoria12leo]

50. Darn right I'm glad he's President.

:kick:

[Martin Eden]

51. As opposed to McCain?

Most definitely.

But that doesn't negate my disappointment with how he has governed.

[mix]

52. Yes, I am glad Obama is president, but I disagree with him on most issues.

:hi:

[Jack_Dawson]

53. Hell yes! Remember what we had?

:scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

[LostInAnomie]

55. Damn right.

[Blue_In_AK]

56. As opposed to McCain/Palin?

Yes.

[Ignis]

57. Talk about a push-poll. Compared to WHAT? (nt)

[applegrove]

58. I still think Obama is great. The opposition he faces is desperate to stop

any good legislation. They've all drunk the coolaid. I'm surprised he got what he got given the gridlock that is Washington.

[Maraya1969]

59. Right here!!!!! And I am sick of people putting him down for every damn thing

I think they are going to eat their words in a few years.

[Peacetrain]

60. Very Happy....

[tabasco]

61. Turning this country around takes a lot longer than a supertanker.

Obama is just starting to shift the momentum.

[Liberal_in_LA]

88. Good analogy

[MrsCorleone]

62. Absolutely grateful! nt

[Silver Gaia]

63. Count me glad! K&R

[goclark]

64. I am extremely glad and thrilled to be alive

during these times.

[jmc]

65. Yup

In less than a year in office he successfully pushed through the beginnings for Health Care Reform. Not bad. Not everyone is happy with it, but that is what he ran on, compromise. The sign of a good compromise, both sides aren't left happy. We really have to take a step back and realize that if Obama could have written the plan himself, it would look different. With the tragic death of Teddy, and the death of Joe Liberman's morality, it had to be pushed in any way it could. We have a health care package. It is something that needs to be built up over time before we see universal quality healthcare, but we are finally on the way. As an aspiring Historian (working toward my PhD), I think we will look back on this as the beginnings of a better system that will unfold over time. I would go on, but that seems to be the hot topic, so I'll leave it at that.
I'll raise a glass to President Obama tonight!

[Jim Lane]

66. Add me to the "Yes, but" crowd

I'm glad he won, but I'm less glad than I was a year ago.

In 2008, with my state (New York) safely in the bag, I traveled to Pennsylvania to go door-to-door for Obama. In 2012, if current trends continue, I'll vote for him but that's it. My limited volunteer time will go to candidates lower on the ticket.

[LoZoccolo]

67. K&R! GOBAMA! n/t

[Douglas Carpenter]

68. kick and recommend

I cannot say that I am overwhelmed by disappointment. Because I didn't really expect fabulous things.

In light of the political realities that actually exist in the current world, I would have to say that though I would like to see more changes that I can believe in, I am still happy that he is President.

[Hekate]

70. Still here, a bit weary with the infighting at DU. Very, very grateful to have POTUS Obama. KnR #45

:fistbump:

[saracat]

71. Only because he isn't Mccain. It is sad this seems the best we could do. We need alternatives.

[Unvanguard]

72. SO very much. n/t

[lonestarnot]

73. Better than a dick or barbie for sure.

[travelingtypist]

74. Yes.

Still and always yes.

[old mark]

75. Slogan for 2012: " He was better than McCain."

Being better than total disaster is something.

"Yes, we could have." Might be better on the bumper stickers.

[DainBramaged]

83. +1

yup

[Adelante]

76. I certainly am nt

[Coventina]

77. I'm here.

:hi:

[ellie]

78. Yes, I am very glad that Obama

is president.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

79. Absolutely...

Had he lost, we might be looking at President Palin right now.

[RetroLounge]

91. "He's better than Palin"

those are some awesome credentials.

Maybe he'll use that as a slogan in 2012...

RL

[theophilus]

80. Yes, I am. I believe he is doing the best he can using our system of government. n/t

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

81. As opposed to McCain/Palin? yes

As opposed to Kucinich? not so much

At the election, the choice was between right-wing fundie wacko son-of-privilege, and centrist corporatist product of the Chicago political machine.

Ok, yeah, better it's Obama.

:shrug:

[DainBramaged]

82. ...........

[blindpig]

84. Speaks volumes that you felt it necessary to post this.

Just sayin'

[easttexaslefty]

[BR_Parkway]

92. I am, he's not perfect - but apparently it's not ok to say that part - too

many think we should all shut up and not pressure him to work on our behalf. If we all shut up, then the only voice pushing him in any direction will be the teabaggers.

[WilliamPitt]

93. Glad? I'm glad I voted for him. I'm glad he won. He beats the alternative.

But, given the alternative, that really isn't saying much.

I'm glad it's not McCain.

[Xicano]

94. -10

Sorry, but he's ignored the voices of his base, lied and acted oh behalf of wall street. He's a republican in Democratic clothing as far as I am concern now.

[Liberal_in_LA]

96. .

:cry:

[Phx_Dem]

95. I most certainly am!

[shadowknows69]

97. I would be glad if Obama were President.

Not this corporate doppelganger we got.
