Same old song and dance with the RepubliCrats, but since it's the only game in town, credit needs to be given where it is due.
The facts are, the economy was in the shitter when Obama took over, the country was mired in two of it's longest wars ever, and the reputation of the government abroad was at an all-time low.
In his time in office, Obama has stabilized the ship of state, taking steps which improved and strengthened the economy, he ended the war in Iraq, has a plan for ending the war in Afghanistan, and Obama has vastly improved our reputation in most parts of the world.
On the practical side, the Republicans have filibustered and used super-majority rules in the Senate to try and keep the President in stalemate, simply in order to try and defeat him in 2012. The 2010 elections which gave the Republican party the majority in the House further hindered Obama's agenda, nonetheless, he has been able to still make some progress, although not as much as he had wished to, due to the alignment of Congress.
I am hoping that Obama wins re-election, but equally important, that the Democrats retake the House, so that Obama can get more important legislation passed.
