Do you approve…or disapprove of President Obama’s job performance since he assumed office in January?

Good Morning Ralph. I disapprove & have to give him a thumbs down .

I plead the 5th.

No.

Approve

Totally disapprove! His comment about the police officer in Cambridge has me to the point that I am done giving him any benefit of the doubt. He proves more and more every day that he can not lead this country. Of course I knew that before he was elected.

I can't believe he even commented on that situation without knowing ALL the facts.

I can. He is an idiot to put it nicely. He is biased because the professor is friend and Obama continues to show he is a racist. With that comment he in a split second erased all the progress we have made over the years when it comes to officers and race relations with the public. He has put officers lives in danger as if they don't have enough danger. When will he and others stop seeing people as black, white, hispanic, etc and see everyone as people, citizens, Americans. No wonder we have such problems in this country. Our own president can't even see things that way.

Disapprove! Disappointed Disgusted and Depressed; as you can see I’m giving him a “D”

Approve.

disapprove

The guy is in way over his head. Promoted to the point of incompetency, I believe is what they sya.

Approve over all. The economy needs to get going beter although Wall Street is coming back a bit.

Approve over all...but the comment on Racial Profiling... was totally inappropriate and off base. Between him and President Bush or President Clinton I would take President Obama! Had we elected Senatore McCain...we would be without a Vice President right now... so i guess we have the best of the lot at this time...but not happy with everything he has done or pulled.

Ralph : Great question.

I am becoming more convinced that the more he puts on the table now WILL serve him (and US) well during the next 3.5 years. I do not know that this seemingly over intense political behavior and 'on hands' visits to citizen meetings, all over our country, is not a way to lay the groundwork for issues issues that he knows cannot be accomplished in the few months that he SEEMS to have given them -- this early in his Presidential term.

I trust him and his team to guess well and come to know that the future is on their (and our: WE THE PEOPLES) side. The Congress has to be awakened, as do WE THE PEOPLE, to deep understandings of what is basic for the coming multi-centuries in this great democracy of OURS. We must keep the discussions going and SLOWLY clear up 'muddled minds' . It takes TIME and INTERACTIONS that CAN get more cordial as UNDERSTANDING INCREASES through the TIMES ahead! INTELLIGENCE APPLIED and EMPATHY and COMPETANCE will win out. Thats my BET!! He will lower anxieties as he and we communicate UNDERSTANDINGS about the depths of what is going on.

He may be learning, at the same time, how to make TIME work out for us ALL as we learn how to select paths and then use TIME to get things done more at a "one at a time" pace. Big and Complex jobs is a 'fitting together properly' process. Manufacturing complex goods and services in our enterprise system shows this planning mode clearly. IT takes a long time to BUILD excellence in 'things and thoughts'.

I'm not yet interested in VOTING one way or the other.

Approve...for the most part.
He needs to start kicking ass and taking names and get the blue cross democrats in line. It'd also be nice to see some left of center picks and policies.
The first time I've seen the Obama that I voted for was when he commented about the stupid actions of Sgt. Crowley.

Highly approve.

I disapprove unfortunately. Obama has taken on more than what he can handle. He should have been more realistic in his 'promises of change'. We are worse off than we were prior to the election. The only change I've noticed is the amount of debt we are in.

Somewhat approve, but not by a landslide. Obama can push only so far. As a figurehead (like a corporate CEO), he needs to realize that his administration and the US Congress help him get his work accomplished. It's a good thing that he doesn't have powerful Executive Order authority because we'd be in much worse shape than we already are.

What I do like is that President Obama does make sincere efforts to plead his case to "We, The People". Open communication is always a good thing - even if he needs a reminder of just how far he can flap his lips before getting in trouble.

Approve! People are attacking President Obama before any of his initiatives have come to fruition. Give our President time before judging!

Mostly approve so far.
I am willing to give him a year to see whether his policies improve the economy.
I don't like his protection of the Bush/Cheney administration's corruption.
I don't see him being as transparent as originally promised, but he is still far better than Bush/Cheney.

Strongly disapprove...in fact, it's impossible for me to disapprove of anything as much as I disapprove of Obama and everyone...EVERYONE...in his' STUPID Misadministration.

Devil woman Hillary is trading barbs with North Korea (like, yes, a schoolgirl), Biden is reiterating support of Georgia's (former Soviet republic) aggressions, and Bammy is calling other people STUPID...go figure...while the Bush scaffolding for circumventing the Constitution at every turn is being re-enforced.

A new and improved administration chockful of Clintonites and Bushites...to say nothing of that confounded health care system take-over attempt. Lord have mercy!

I agree with Lionel, too many promises and not enough actual work. He seems lost.
