Stentor, that's actually a good question. HAS Obama done anything I specifically disapprove of? Thinking,,,

Drawing a blank here. So far I like what I see, I think he is doing a decent job but I have some reservations. Only time will tell if many of the important decisions were well made or not. Like any POTUS in office he has made some mistakes along the way, nothing that rises to the point of a major screwup. I worry to some degree about his cabinet level people choices, but again, nothing of major concern. In spite of the rumors and insinuations concerning his "czars", I think their ability to offer unique insights to various problem areas warrant their appointment.

Palin recently said she disaproved of his "dithering around" with the Afghanistan question of more or less troops, for example. That says to me, I'm sure glad SHE is not in a position to make that call! Some decisions have to be made quickly, and with risk it will be wrong! Such are the demands of the office. Some decisions need to weighed carefully, considered over time, in spite of the risk THAT carries. Foriegn policy is such an area that needs careful, thoughtful consideration for a long term approach.

Hind sight is always 20/20, arm chair quarter backs abound. Very tough decisions fall of the Presidents desk daily. Take your time when you can, take your best shot when you have to make a quick decision. Mistakes will be made, that's for sure, no matter WHO makes them.
