The current Pres has lots of bad ammo pointing at him but he is still the Pres , go,figure
If you look at his presidency without taking into account the banging of the drums of the GOP and FOX News I think you have to admit he has carried out his mandate as promised.... maybe not always in a way that makes the republicans happy but he wasn't elected to do that.
Affordable Health Care... Maybe not perfectly in the beginning but every month there are more and more people enrolling and getting the care they should have had in the first place.
Iran... getting there...
Gay Rights, He has pushed for the laws restricting their rights to be abolished, for the military to join the 21st century in this regard, etc, etc.
The economy, done basically... he has overseen the complete turn around from the economic cess pool he inherited from dubya.
Osama, enough said.
Syria, He was right in keeping the US out of it. Russia was the one to try wrestle control from the UN and look how that turned out for them...
Israel, his position is that Israel must answer questions when there is a incident and be judged on that... he also holds all those who attack Israel to the same standard.
He has dealt with very contentious issues as best he could, and he does that with the constant back stabbing from Congress and the Senate... trying to add sanctions against Iran onto a Veterans support bill is just plain sleazy so when the bill obviously failed they try to say he didn't support veterans even though he has been the one pushing for the VA reform and fixing it's problems by holding those in charge accountable.
Obama has a bad rep maybe, because he isn't apologetic about using his executive powers when congress is being a bunch of cry babies and refusing to work with him. can't blame him really for not bowing to their ridiculous blackmail.
