I find Obama very likeable as a person, and at times more genuine than the average president. I did vote for him twice, but I admit, the first time was harder to do so. The race issue was at the forefront, and I didn't have a good feel for how he was going to tackle that. But I think he's done a good job trying to be everybody's president in that respect.
He's been tolerant of gay rights, it seems. More so than is typical. That's hugely important to me. But I give SCOTUS more credit with that issue, especially being a Californian. Glad to see Prop 8 duly damaged.
Obamacare confuses the hell out of me, and is being laid out such that things change every year for a certain number of years until it's all out there (right?). But then, in general, I'm a fan of social healthcare. Government, in general, should be "infrastructure first".
I'm already very curious to see who will run in 2016. I guess this Bob Filner mayoral nonsense here in San Diego is putting me into the mood.
