Obama supporters from primaries on DU: How are you feeling he has done so far? [View All]

[WI_DEM]

Are you satisfied? or let down?

Overall, I'm satisfied. I think he is a strong leader and in the brief time he has been in office has already made a big difference:

1) Signed the Childrens Health Insurance Bill which extended health insurances to millions of children.

2) Reversed Bush on Stem-Cells research

3) Changed procedure to promote disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act

4) Reduced secrecy in presidential records

5) Issued orders closing Guantanamo Bay

6) Categorically put the U.S. against torture.

7) Signed a Stimulus Bill which provides the most money for infrastructure in history in one act.

8) Sweeping public lands reform bill which protects some two-million acres of wilderness.

9) Directed the U.S. military to deploy plans to withdraw from Iraq

I can't think of another U.S. president in recent times who has accomplished quite as much in such a short while.

Do I agree with him on everything? NO.

1) I'm not sure about his expansion of troops into Afghanistan, seven years ago it might have made sense, I'm not so sure today.

2) I would have liked to see less tax cuts in the stimulus and more $$ for infrastructure.

3) I would rather help the auto industry than some of these banks.
