I am open to serious remarks about Obama, including suggestions for ways he could do things better.

Neither Bush nor Obama deserve unqualified attack OR unthinking support.

You may have forgotten the occasions on which I noted particular right actions for which I thought Bush deserved credit. POssibly that is because they were few and far between.

So far, to the degree he can do so, Obama has promoted openness and transparency, investment in infrastructure and new energy systems, responsible withdrawal from Iaq, opening discussions with Iran, more reasonable diplomacy, more equitable taxes, more scientific approaches to science issues, more respect for Constitutional requirements, less arbitrary exercise of Executive power, and a number of other things which are important improvements over the last Administration.

He's been in office something like --what, eight weeks? He's delivering on his promises within the constraints of the battles and bureaucratic inertia he has to work through.

I suggest he is a big improvement.
