Poll question: Satisfied With Obama's Efforts So Far?
I keep hearing that "the Left" is becoming dispirited by Obama's moves since his election. I'm not sure whether to believe this. So... how do you feel about it?

Thanks!

3. Enthused, and looking forward to next month.
Obama is behaving like an adult and like a president right now.

The actual pResident has behaved like neither for at least the last 8 years.

4. how could you not be enthused.
The man is showing everyone that he is not going to rest on his laurels. He's hitting the gate running, just itching to get to work on our problems. I bet for him, not just us, Jan 20th can't come soon enough. I think it should exude confidence in all of us that he seems to want to tackle our countries problems with the same passion he used to win the election.

He hasn't been in a position yet to disappoint anyone, so i can't understand why anyone is bitching. Even if you're unsure of his choices thus far, give the man a chance to prove that he is the man we all voted for.

5. i would like for reid and pelosi to be put in prison
i would like all the 8 trillion going to the banks to actually go to helping this country rather than the bullshit scam it is
i know this may not be correctable by obama ,but maybe he could take a stand

7. Yes. I don't agree with everyone he's picked...
... and I doubt I'll agree with everything he'll do as president. But overall, I'm optimistic and I think that on balance he'll be a very good -- possibly great -- president.

8. I'm optimistic

That would be between enthused and cautiously optimistic. I like most of the picks, but only a few have really thrilled me. Maybe a team that isn't far left will give him more leverage.

10. Probably not. Most of the criticism here comes from a vocal, small minority.
