I personally think so. But remember that whether or not someone is doing well is all dependant on personal opinion, and there isn't always necessarily a set answers.

Mr. Obama is doing very well at this situation of recession and confusion. He is not getting into another war. We can see that he putting a lot of effort to put an end to this recession. African American or not, he is a great president for USA.
He is always trying to make every situation a win-win.
I admire his leadership qualities. I feel blessed to get inspired by him.

I dont think he is doing well. He has tripled our national deficit, and yeah he has not gotten us in another war, but north korea is threatening us and Obama said "lets just wait and see". I dont think we should bomb them at this point, but its not a good idea to wait and see. Do we wait and see after a nuc bomb hits LA?????? Or what???

I understand you have to spend money to relieve this bad economy, but to triple national deficit with in the first few months of being pres is not ideal in my mind.

Why change our healthcare when reports show 80% of americans are okay with the current program. Instead of increasing taxes lets try to lower them in this economy. Maybe he should push to encourage health care providers to become non-profit like kaiser permanente.

Is it a good idea to leave iraq in the situation it is in? No body likes war, but to make the same mistake we did when we left afghanistan before it recovered (im referring back when Russia invaded Afghanistan). We left that place in ruins w/o rebuilding it and look, terrorist occupied it because there was no stable govt.

I do have faith in our govt. and our president, but im slowly losing it.

Closing guantanamo bay, releasing some prisoners because the information is classified and they cant be trialed is a mistake. Think, if a country held you for years in a prison and tortured (lets hope people were not tortured, but it appears maybe they were), you would have a vendetta against that country. You would not like it and possibly would want to do harm. Atleast some people would.

Personally, i dont want as much change as Obama wants. Why change things 180, when programs just need some re-adjustments. Some change is good, but drastic change is bad.

Call me crazy, but we are moving into a socialistic govt. Which sucks!!! Obama wants to remove the 2 term limit on presidents... WHY???? If this occurs then one party will take hold and it will never be lost. Look at IRAN, their current pres will make sure he is re-elected term after term.

Obama has done some good things but i guess we will just see what happends in the next 3 years. I hope everything works out! Im not by any means anti obama, im just not for many of the things he is proposing. We need to get out of iraq, but we need to do it when their own govt is stable. Dont let history repeat itself. Since 9/11 we have not had any attacks on USA, dont forget about that. Keep these radicals on the run and disrupt any plans they have on attacking any country, not just US of A.

I really don't. I think that many people had high hopes for him, and he is just not measuring up. Some of it was hype and media, but some of it is due to his overly optimistic promises (like lowering the ocean levels) and his grand theatrical appeal (like the styrofoam pillars). I think many people voted their hearts instead of their heads, and now is the time for the best man for the job not the man we wanted most to succeed.

He has socialist ideas, yet socialism has never worked in history. You'd think one of the world's smartest men, a graduate from Harvard and a world leader would be able to learn from the mistakes of the past.

The idea that everyone is equal (wealth wise) will not work for a successful country. The capitilism of America made it the financial leader of the world and Wall Street was the place to be. Well, you might say, look at what's happened now. It's a disaster. So? The only way it will pick itself back up is if the 'fat cats' that Obama is working against start spending again. Besides, there's a saying.

The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly.

It works vice versa as well.

Just my opinion.

I think he's doing a pretty good job. The poor and homeless are receiving more money. But i don't think sending troops to Afghanistan would be a good idea.

President Obama's foreign relations are such a refreshing change from what we have seen. I am not happy about the deficit, but he is also not the cause of this. He has been trying to fix a problem that top officials new was coming as early as March 2008. Yes, they knew the recession was coming that long ago. I believe he's doing a good job.

I believe he is doing a good job. It is a hard job. Lots of publicity. Lots of fans. Lots of hate mail. The "race issue". I don't rate whether or not he is doing a "good job" based on his "race". He is a person, just a human being. :) He seems to care a lot about his family, his wife, daughers. I think that's great!
