re: What do you guys think of Obama?

he's the worst of Carter paired with the worst of Bush/Cheney and the smug arrogance of LBJ. While being an ineffective leader with unworkable policy goals, he has appointed dozens of political appointees to various agencies and beauros that have been absolutely harmful and destructive to industry, the economy, and to the people's trust in government. He has presided over a possibly unprecedentedly corrupt administration and has done all within his power to shield guilty parties from punishment and to obfuscate and destroy evidence of malfeasance. He has repeatedly cowered to enemies, disgraced allies, reneged on promises to foreign leaders, and held potential allies out to dry when they needed his help the most. He is a shadow without substance, an empty suit, and a simply terrible president.
