Things I like about Obama.....Follow

How about listing something you dislike about him now?

Cowardly stance on gay marriage.

Too much time and effort wasted on attempting to bring the GOP to the table where there is no chance of this happening, ever.

Geitner was a terrible choice for the public face of Treasury, there was clearly a miscalculation of the PR/Economic Understanding ratio required for that job.

Should have nationalized all investment banking houses for a short period of time to guarantee liquidity in credit markets.

Gives the appearance of trying too hard to solve problems that may be unsolvable.

Overestimates public enthusiasm for his agenda, confuses it with enthusiasm to oust the GOP.

Doesn't adequately understand economics. Doesn't adequately understand that the GOP is an Opposition Party with no interest in accomplishing *anything*.

He's squandering the brief window of time available to accomplish anything on ******** that has no hope of going anywhere, like Cap and Trade.

Needs to exert more pressure on Snowe, Collins, Specter, etc. to fall into line on issues they claim to support or be exposed as the hacks they really are.

Too much reliance on Clinton era staff.

Waiting too long for a significant tax increase on top 5% of wage earners, dividends, and capital gains.

I could go on.

Oh. And I also like it that the great-great-great-great-great grandson of a slave is president because now reparations can finally be dispensed to those of us who have suffered so much under the heavy hand of The Man.
