2. I think his biggest accomplishment (not to diminish his others)
was the European trip and the way he helped restore our image among our friends and allies. Biggest disappointment for me is also the supply-side banking elite giveaway.

3. I'm ecstatic about environmental/energy changes and the new direction in foreign relations...
Not crazy about the banking bailout or our growing presence in Afghanistan.

7. I think the growth in Afghanistan
is related to the shaky situation in Pakistan more than anything else. I was upset with that particular escalation as well until I read about the problems in Pakistan.

4. Biggest accomplishment stabilizing the economy
and in a few months it will be growing the economy. Biggest disappointment: Rahm as chief of Staff, but I actually think it's working out better than I thought it would.

5. Accomplishment - effectively stopping the banking "crisis" in its tracks
Biggest disappointment - DADT (so far) and being a little slow to respond to nasty attacks from the Republicans/media.

The stimulus - a huge shift away from Repuke economics. I'd put it tied with re-estabishing diplomatic relations. Biggest disappointment: Education and building up Afghanistan
