What do you like about Barack Obama?

67. Maybe, but you'd be hard pressed to prove much of this.

He is slow to anger and has the patience of Job.


Not sure this is true. I tend to see more of a case of extreme arrogance to the point of presuming that critics are invalid because they criticize. How can you get angry at someone you basically dismiss out of hand?

He is cautious and not likely to rush us into an unnecessary war.


Except that he stayed in one longer than he needed to, escalated a second (that Biden told him not to), and tried to start a third.

He is very concerned about our economy and whether or not people have jobs.

Prove it. He proposed a stimulus that was too small by half, agreed to cutting support for state budgets which put huge numbers of civil servants out of jobs, and has agreed with local decisions to lay off whole schools of teachers.

He tries to do what he thinks is best for the country, rather than his Party.

Even when he is wrong.
