There's only 2 areas that I think President Obama needs to improve on
Believe it or not, those of us who consistently defend President Obama and are known on DU as Obama supporters/apologists have our share of criticisms for him. DU is just not a comfortable place to air those concerns, because a bunch of consistently anti-Obama people and trolls take the opportunity to pile on with insults against Obama and promises not to vote democratic in the next election.
But here are my two criticisms:
1: All of our involvement with the Middle East should end right now. Let them fend for themselves. We can keep some very small units of Seals or something near those areas, and if they find out that the US is about to be attacked, they can end the plot right there and then before it gets to us. The rest of the military should be in the US ready to thwart any attacks in the U.S.
2: More has to be done to correct the spiraling housing market. Any proposals must have teeth, it should not be up to the lender to decide whether or not they want to modify a loan. I know so many people who are underwater. That is why so many people are depressed when it comes to the future.
After reading this you may be wondering, why aren't you upset with Obama over jobs? Well, that's not his responsibility. He can't force businesses to hire, and the things that would save small businesses money (like further tax cuts), must of us are against anyway. I think if the housing problem can be fixed then a lot of other stuff will fall into place.

I'm sure you had the same attitude when Bush was in office and we had depression level unemployment rates of 5%. :-)

1. On your broader point, its hard for me to consider even my own criticisms of the President...
...because the level of hyperbole launched against him by his fiercest critics is so off the hook insane, that my own concerns tend to get weighed down by the dog pile coming from both the left and the right. Its like, ok, I see some things where I know the wrong thing is being done, mostly on war policy, but with all the over the top shit thats getting launched at him, I can't even consider joining in on that even a little.
Yep he's doing a great job. :mental:

I only have one criticism of Obama
1 ) He is an awful president, and everything he does in that capacity literally turns into dog crap. Midas Touch ? More like Dog-ass touch.

The Kenyan has millions of people fondly remembering Jimmeh.

Everything that King Anti-Midas touches turns to shit.
Everything. He. Touches.

I only have 2 also:
1. everything he says
2. everything he does

Obama is the first Affirmative Action president. He wasn't elected because of any skill or accomplishment or the content of his character, he was elected solely because of his skin color and his ability to semi-competently read whatever is put up on a teleprompter.
Only in the false reality that Marxism creates could Obama be elected.
That he always has about a 30% approval rating shows that only about 70% of the population ever even gets close to dancing with reality.
Obama shares the same skill set as Algore, namely being able to sit on the couch, smoke dope, and complain about how rotten the world is.

Dead on, and the H5 is given.

blahblahblah
My guess would be his short game, and what he's going to do for work in about a year and a half.

His silly ass managed to escape abortion by a liberal/socialist and was born.

Abortions for convenience weren't legal when he was born, especially in Nairobi.
