Not one of the reasons I just listed is a good reason to elect someone to the highest most powerful office in the world....I don't hate B.O., I just think he is extremely inept, and proves it almost daily. Off subject, sorry.
Need reasons? How about many of the campaign promises he made during his first run for POTUS? He kept the promise to get Bin Laden. He kept the promise to get our combat troops out of Iraq. He kept the promise to end "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", thereby allowing those with same-sex attractions to honor their patriotic intentions by serving in the Armed Forces...and let us not forget his campaign promise to enact universal health-care?
Notice how I did not mention whether or not I feel those promises SHOULD have been kept...Larry will probably find it surprising to hear I was NOT a fan of some of some of those leftist-oriented issues...but I feel Obama is due the credit for getting accomplished as much as he has considering the vigorous opposition the conservatives have mounted.
He may not have been the best POTUS, but he is far from the worst, IMHO...Nixon and Gee-Dub come to mind as some of the worst in recent times, not to mention that we might have gotten stuck with Romney (talk about complaints regarding the transparency of B.O.'s administration, think about how little transparency there would have been with Romney, who only grudgingly disclosed just the very minimum required in regards to his financial status, despite a long-standing practice of candidates for POTUS releasing much more than required).
Of course, those who dislike the leftist orientation of his ideals will never give him credit for what he HAS accomplished, choosing to focus instead on the issues they wish he would have supported.
They may, however, point out that he seems like a very dedicated family man when asked to see if they can say something good about him...how lame can you get?
We shall see how he handles this deserter vs POW issue...it is still too early to judge that, and particularly given the media-fueled feeding frenzy and rush to judgement.
Cheers!
