Has your view of Obama changed since the 2008 election?

With Obama's poll numbers dropping, just wondering how fickle TWEBBERS are...

You don't have a "unfavorable to even more unfavorable" option.

I'm disappointed he isn't pursuing several leftist areas more actively. You heard me right!

The current economic debates seem to have stalled those parts of the left's agenda I agree with: immigration reform, gay rights, repairing civil rights damaged by post-9/11 politics, nuclear disarmament, and withdrawing from Iraq.

Sorry. I'm looking for the fickle ones. That wouldn't qualify. At lease I don't think so.

Nominally: during the campaign I thought he was a superficial telegenic novelty. Now I know that's what he is.

Well said. I'm all for immigration reform and withdrawing from Iraq. Ironically, I am for "post 9/11 civil rights" as you call it, but I'm in no hurry for gay marriage; the latter is an oxymoron.

And I think nuclear disarmament is pure fantasy.

I really expected more responses to the poll. :-(

ok I voted favourable to unfavourable.

I'm British though so I don't know if I count.

Mainly it's been because of what TWebbers have said in regards to his policies after election thats changed my view point in that direction.

Beforehand I used to think that he would do a pretty good job but now I think he's just like all the others, lies, lies and more lies and actually completely powerless to acually do anything.

I'm starting to think that it doesn't matter who you vote for anymore because whoever does get into office can't actually do anything. Thats both in the US and the UK.

If you had had a "bottom of the barrel" to "underneath the barrel", I would have voted.

I went from merely distrusting the man to actually fearing him and his plans for the new America. Does that count?

I like him, but I think his policies suck. For a Chicago politician, he is not that bad.

He messed up on the only issues I had hope about; Gitmo, illegal govt. activities, Iraq, etc.

Okay. So far TWEBBERS aren't as fickle as the media and polls indicate the general populous is. Thanks to those who voted.

I'm neutral. I support the President, I think his execution of his administration during the first few months was far from perfect (as, IMO, can be expected of any incoming president), and sure - there are plenty of things that could have/should have been done differently. But then I go back into my realist mode and ask myself the following - given the circumstances, could I - or anyone - really have done much better? I don't think so.

Gitmo - is slowly, but surely, on it's way to being shut down. Things like this take time. He can't just waive a magic wand and have it done - well, at least not in a responsible manner. There are also the politics of gitmo and the inherent bureaucratic nature of govt to consider.

Iraq - he is on track to fulfill his campaign promises on Iraq, what else could you ask for???

Gitmo= prosecute those according to our law and let everyone else out and compensate them.

Iraq=leave

Afghanistan=leave

I'd do those my first day and sleep like a baby.

I think Obama's foot-dragging on international matters is more a result of his incompetence than any kind of responsible consideration on his part.
