He is whomever 'they' tell you he is...and depending on the slant of the source, will be the collective opinion of him.

To some, he is too far left, to others, right of center, to some 'Mr.Too Brilliant', to others a foreigner, to some, an opportunist, to some, a front-man puppet, To some, the best thing since sliced bread.
It really depends on who YOU WANT him to be.

I was never 'wowed' by him, but I thought it fair to give him some time before I made up my mind further.....so far, I'm underwhelmed. What is more scary is the re-action to him, one way or another.

One thing, most of his closest top White House 'advisers', are bailing, for one reason or another, his policies continue Bush's(for the most part), he has fallen down on several things, and the consensus of the public were made known in this last election...not to mention the jobs(?), unaccounted for stimulus money, and a health care bill that should have been READ and/or worked over a bit, BEFORE it was rammed through the Houses.
It does this country NO GOOD to have a President who does not have the confidence of the people, and now even his fellow Democrat supporters.
Now that being said, I, myself, in this post, have not made a 'value judgment' on him one way or another...though I have been inclined in the past, to do so.....besides, as things are right now, it will be the PEOPLE of this country who will eventually pull us out of the messes, that the Government and Big Business and Globalists got us into...hopefully.. unless they screw(ed) it up beyond repair!...not any singular POLITICIAN!...or slick spokesman for weird agendas!!
