Reply #41: He's got my vote

Progress is still progress regardless how incremental or slow. Sorry that things aren't happening fast enough for some people but that's how government often works and it's not like he hasn't had his own headaches to deal with. Congress, including some Democrats, have fought President Obama on some of his agenda items (most notably, Gitmo) and he's gotten practically no Republican cooperation on anything as they've managed to significantly clog up Senate business since he became POTUS. It's frankly amazing that he's gotten done what he has given the kind of resistance he's gotten. Anyway, how are we going to be able to judge President Obama on only 2 years in office when last I looked Presidents are elected to 4 year terms? A lot of people around here inexplicably seem to be declaring his Presidency a failure already while completely negating all of his accomplishments, as well as ignoring some of his challenges. Could he have done a few things differently or better? Sure. Do I feel like he has done something so horrific (so far) that he has lost my vote? No.

I think it's not only important that we re-elect President Obama in 2012 but that we get ourselves a better Congress as well that will work with him better.
