I'm in no way saying he's a fantastic president but I'm saying is he has had a lot of hard decisions and it's easy to place blame on him but really he doesn't have THAT much power. You have to blame congress and the sentate also. Not to mention MANY of the Democrats were for the war at the time. (Obama SAYS he wasn't but he didn't even vote...because he wasn't even in OFFICE! Which goes to prove even more his complete lack of experience).

Obama is only "in touch with the public" because he continues to make huge promises that he can't financially account for. Well he'll get them payed for by raising taxes and then redistributing the wealth.
