President Obama: History So Far

Personally I think Obama has been doing great under the circumstances of what he has to deal with. I think he's destined to become the greatest president ever.

I'm all for optimism but that is a bold statement. We haven't had enough time pass to even look at the true historical scope of the Bush presidency, so I dunno.

I'd like to think Obama will be the best thing we've had (especially in regards to global politics), but it will be a long time before we can tell.

I like having a president who knows how to admit he's wrong about things. Also, I like how in the press conference how he said the stimulus bill isn't perfect, and touched on things that could have been changed.. though he justified himself with this being a time of emergency.

Was nothing like a Bush press conference, where he'd basically just say its a black and white world with good and evil, and what he picked was right all the time. Of course they both used fear to some extent, but I guess in today's world that's the only way to get any bipartisanship.
