1. Did you vote for President Obama?

I would've done if I'd been American.
2. Do you feel he is knowledgeable about foreign relations?

Sure. Not doing a bad job with them - but not a particularly good one, either.
3. Are you happy with the way he is handling the "War" that isn't a war in the Iraq and Afghanistan?

I don't think he's handling it worse than anybody else would, but it's still very difficult.
4. Do you feel he has helped or hindered the US's image in the world? Why/How?

Helped, but not as much as people hoped - the expectations were a bit high.
5. How do you feel he's handled the BP oil spill situation?

Not great. Comparisons to Katrina seem exaggerated, though.
6. Do you feel like he has lived up to the hype of his campaign?

Of course not.
7. What do you feel he has done "right" as the President?

Make the US more respectful to other nations again, most foreign relations decisions.
8. What do you feel he has completely missed the mark on as president?

His hands-off approach to health care led to a giant mess, and he allowed the stimulus bill to be loaded with too much pork. One way or another, he should've done more to restrain the - understandable - desire of the Dems to start spending on their favourite causes once they got back in power, since there wasn't enough money for that.
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?

Yes. They were necessary, both of them, but the stimulus had too much pork in it. It worked, but it could probably have been done at a lower cost.
10. If you answered YES to #1, and the election were in November, would you vote for Obama again?

That would depend on who he was running against. I wouldn't have voted for Romney in 2008, but in 2012 it would be a harder decision.
