Yes, he's doing an outstanding job. I would have preferred him to follow-up on a few key issues but considering the partisan nature of congress, I'm not sure if those issues can be reasonable pursued. My no geral, global impression is a guy rooting for the average, blue-collard worker. He bats for the unemployed, the underemployed and the disenfranchised. Personally, single-care insurance was a stroke of genius and I'm confident improvements can be made to ensure the program's efficiency (by the way, does anyone know that the entire bill is 17,000 pages long and includes policies that ensure patient safety care?). Extending unemployment insurance, the payroll tax cuts, his plans to raise HHA wages and his willingness to compromise on issues for the betterment of this country, tells me he's in touch with the average man/woman. It tells me he's not living in a bubble, manufactured por political ideologies. I know it would be impossible for him to engage all 435 congressional men and women on a personal level and bring them to a mutual understanding or compromise but some part of me still believes in it. Unfortunately, for that to occur, every congressional member would have to step out of their offices and walk a mile in the shoes of a struggling American. Anyway, whether he and the entire congressional body is re-elected or serves one or two terms, they are contracturally obligated to serve their constituents, and they should all do so with our safety, livelihood, and hearts in mind. They are not entitled (and this includes both Republicans and Democrats) to do anything but put our best interests at coração but I digress. This presidency hasn't been easy and we never expected it to be. I like Obama and mais than that, I feel he has done a remarkable job given the current state of the political atmosphere in Washington. I don't expect his contributions to be appreciated now or in the near future but I will say this; whether people are aware of it or now, this president has inspired the re-surgency in activism; and that influence has been seen the world over. There's something about him that makes you feel as if you have a voice and it was meant to be heard. He brings that sense of inclusion in all that he does and with everyone he encounters. So yes, he is doing an outstanding job!
