I still don't think it's his fault...He came on after Bush...And he ed the out of the country. That was 8 years...Then came Obama who was surrounded by every little piece of controvery people would throw at him. He's doing the best he could with the situation he was handed I think. I haven't seen anything different that has gone to crapsince he stepped in office really.

It depends on who's running against him. If it was any ticket with Sarah Palin or any Tea Party nut on it, than yes. If it was somebody I thought who would do a better job, than maybe not. Sometimes it really is a lesser of two evils like my dad always used to say.
I went back and forth between Obama and McCain until Palin came along and they lost my vote, which I know happened with plenty of other folks, too. But I think the problems of our country (and our world) are too deeply seated that a president could come along and wave his magic wand and cure all our ills.
And whoever is our next president will be complained about on here just like WWE booking and any and everything under the sun.

It's funny because the things you say are messing things up I think are the things that most need to be done. When health insurance costs almost what people earn, and sometimes more, that is a problem that needs to be addressed. I also don't think it's fair for someone's rights to be diminished because of what what you believe. You're church doesn't want to marry gay people? Fine. But the government shouldn't be stopping it.
But in response to the actual question. Yes I would. He has not done a perfect job. But considering that everything he's tried to do has been fought tooth and nail, what would you expect? Even when he's doing something the Republicans agree with they go against it because he supports it. that's not how your supposed to do things, and it really makes me sad that our country seems to be more divided than ever in recent years.

probably not, im still waiting for my change What were you expecting to change? Maybe I can help you out with that. Everyone saying no, is it that hard to come up with reasons as to why you won't? And those who say yes, couldn't tell us what you think he's done good to deserve your vote?

He said he was going to gradually pull out all the troops from Afghanistan as well as get rid of the Patriot Act. Not only did he not do those things but he made them worse. He gave Americans a lot of false hope and the thing that pisses me off the most is that people still worship this a$$hole.

He's put in some effort in trying to fix the economy and everything, but all it ended up doing was adding more fuel to the large fire that we call the national debt.

Hell yes! The fact remains, and people fail to mention this - just that he's doing such a horrible job - he inherited the mess that George Bush left behind. President Obama made quite a few promises on the campaign trail, and I believe that he is honestly trying his best with what he came into, to hold up to his word. I'd vote for President Obama over ANYONE the Republicans throw up there. I agree with you 100% sir

He pledged in the campaign to increase troop size in Afghanistan and pull out of Iraq. Draw down for Afghanistan is supposed to start this summer. Yeah, he wanted to get rid of Bush's version of the Patriot Act and put in one that he felt wouldn't harm civil liberties as much. He wanted one, just not Bush's. People gave people false hope. Thinking that they'd live rent free, get a free car, free gas, free food, etc. That's on them. He didn't promise any of that.

Depends on who he runs against, but yeah, probably. Sure, hes increased our national debt, and hasnt done alot of things he said he would, but hes doing alot better, and hell do alot better than any Republican could.
And this is coming from a Republican. What does that tell you about the state of my party?

The "Patriot Act," in any form, is perhaps the single most destructive piece of legislature this country has ever seen. To even suggest that "part of it" should exist is completely ing asinine and deserves removal from office, as the President swears an oath to the CONSTITUTION upon his inauguration. The Patriot Act completely shreds the Constitution. Depends on who he runs against, but yeah, probably. Sure, hes increased our national debt, and hasnt done alot of things he said he would, but hes doing alot better, and hell do alot better than any Republican could. And this is coming from a Republican. What does that tell you about the state of my party? See sig.

It's not like Obama came out and said that he was not going to fix everyone's problems. He painted himself (or allowed others to do so) as a a messiah. People were running around thinking that if they elected him all of a sudden gas would be $1 a gallon and employers would be tossing six figure job offers at them. The Obama campaign did absolutely nothing to combat that.
