After the erratic and bellicose Bush years, this nation needed to be able to dial things back and to have a steady hand to guide us out of Iraq and the economic crisis. By in large, the President has been on target. Sometimes he's had to let things run their course so that the public can catch up. Sometimes he's missed a mark. By in large, he's been decent and steady and far more in tune with the populace than any president has been for some time. I do not regret my two votes for him.
