Better than the alternative but too authoritarian. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 23/06/2010 03:27:13 AM
1. Did you vote for President Obama?

No. Can't. Still not a US. Citizen :D

2. Do you feel he is knowledgeable about foreign relations?

I feel that he himself took on too many Clintonites into the new administration.

3. Are you happy with the way he is handling the "War" that isn't a war in the Iraq and Afghanistan?

Am I happy that he disregarded a campaign promise without explanation? No. Instead we have a surge in Afghanistan and a horrid situation in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

4. Do you feel he has helped or hindered the US's image in the world? Why/How?

He is more interested in multilateral relations. I like that. But he has failed to close Guantanamo Bay. He supports third party CIA Camps. He is seriously far too authoritarian. The world probably likes him better than Bush.

5. How do you feel he's handled the BP oil spill situation?

Moderately well.

6. Do you feel like he has lived up to the hype of his campaign?

Let's face it - if he weren't black he wouldn't be president. But he was young and offered up something. An image. And people bought it. I preferred Hillary Clinton. But once it became a choice between him and McCain, then it could only be him.

7. What do you feel he has done "right" as the President?

Pushing for health care. Stronger environmental standards. Some good movement on gay rights. Nominated two moderates/left of center to the Supreme Court.

8. What do you feel he has completely missed the mark on as president?

Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Guantanamo Bay.
Don't Ask Don't Tell
Patriot Act
Immigration Reform


9. Do you believe that we'd be in a full fledged depression if he hadn't pushed through those bail-out and stimulus packages? If no, why not?

I don't know.

10. If you answered YES to #1, and the election was in November, would you vote for Obama again?

Were is the subjunctive. Not was.
And who would the alternate be? I can't answer without knowing that.
