I haven't really been following him much since he got in, but because I haven't been hearing people giving out about him on the regular, I assumed he was doing a good job. He did come after Bush after all. Do you Americans want to educate a confused Irishman?
Since he's came to office, Obama has prematurely compromised with his foes before even getting to the negotiation table. He then gives away most everything else during the negotiations. He then is surprised when liberals aren't fawning all over him with adoration for the small scraps he managed to get for us.
He campaigned on "hope" but has dashed the lot of it over his fetish for "bipartisanship" and still winds up with no support on the other side of the aisle anyway. He campaigned on "yes we can" but his management style is more like "aw, c'mon guys".
There are only two possibilities about what Obama is:
1. An inept wimp who offers soaring rhetoric and no follow-through.
2. A Republican "fifth column" (to use a British term), on a secret mission to save the Republican party from the destruction they faced in 2008 and revitalize their base while demoralizing the left.
I believe the first of the two (I'm not big on conspiracy theories) but I have to tell you if the second is true, however much he's been paid, it isn't nearly enough given his success.
