I still think we've had fairly competently run government, which is nothing to scoff at all things considered.
 
I vote for the nominee of my fellow Democrats. If we run a yellow dog against the Republican, I vote for the yellow dog.

Barry Obama it is. :p
 
Voted for him in the Texas primary, voted for him in the general election, and will vote for him again when he runs for re-election.

Of course, I'm a Democrat in Texas, so it won't count for much...

I had high hopes during his campaign. Then, he took office and kind of fizzled. Yeah, we got Health Care, but it wasn't all that great. He's kind of like Bartlet, spoke of great liberalism, but then gravitated to the safety of center. I don't know who his Leo McGarry has been, but someone needs to let Obama be Obama. Otherwise, we have 4 to 8 of a placeholder and very wasted talent.

Ha-ha. You got suckered by an Illinoisan. Obama is an Illinois politician. Illinois politics is entirely pragmatic and almost entirely non ideological (aside from the occasional right wing Chicago suburban Republican and that one hyperliberal woman that's in congress). Wheeling, dealing and self preservation is the name of the game. It's a blue state in name only. That's exactly why I voted for him and laugh at people that think he's some kind of left wingnut, and equally hard at the people that were shocked to find out he wasn't "one of them" when he veered into the center almost immediately after swearing in. I knew exactly what I was getting into and have been proven correct.
 
Yes and yes again.

I stand as far away, politically and ideologically, from Obama as time and space will allow. My hope for 2012 is that the current administration ceases to exist.
 
I'm trying to think about what the opposite "politically and ideologically" of Obama is - Robert Mugabe? Henry VIII.? Hitler?
 
Good to see hysterical hyperbole is still alive and well in American politics. How's that been working out for you guys?
 
I did not vote for Obama in the primaries, but did in the general election.

Given the crop of GOP candidates so far, I can't imagine a scenario where I don't vote for him again.
 
None of the choices really fit. I voted for him but I feel he's underperformed (don't ask me what I'm basing this on, but he doesn't seem to have done much). I am all for socialized health care which was his major push but that seems to have not really happened. I will probably still vote for him if only because the Republicans have a long history of appalling candidates. I don't think there was a single Republican in the past 20 years that I would have voted for (and several times, I didn't).
 
Voted for him last time, will vote for him this time unless the Republicans really pull something off but to do that they'd pretty much have to change everything they stand for.
 
Those who have stated that they want a new constitution...

What exactly do you want to see changed?
