Obama does his homework and ends up doing the right thing - That's why in IMHO he will go down
in history as ONE OF THE GREATEST PRESIDENTS we have ever seen.

I don't think he comes at issues from the right or the left, or even tries to find the center on anything.

I watched him closely during the campaign, I said over and over again, I LOVE WATCHING HIM THINK!

I honestly think he has a gift, an ability to analyze issues, to listen to opinions, to weigh various scenarios AND their consequences, then decide.

He does not at all strike me as someone who thinks about what the left would think, the right, or the center about any issue at any time.

I really REALLY like that about him.

1. I do think there is more about the photos than we are hearing.
I think it is complicated with Pakistan in turmoil and other Mid-East countries in trouble.

I liken President Obama to a world class chess player, he is always, always thinking 3-4 moves down the road. I don't think this is the end of the photos.

4. Nice recovery!
Oh, yeah, Obama's policy decisions will go down in history as smart, shrewd and in the long term, beneficial.

It's good to see a president act on slow, careful deliberation and just a hint of misdirection to get his goals achieved.

He strikes ME as someone who cares more what HMOs and Big Pharma think than what The People need...

9. Every time he makes a decision that I question or wonder why
he has proved to show that he was right. I still have faith in the President and will refrain from questioning his decisions.
