We have seen many things about our POTUS that many do not like about him, and while we have all had leaders we did not like, we could usually pick out a few things, or traits/characteristics you could use or emulate.
So, list the things you do like, keep it professional as always. What did momma say? "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say nothing all."
I'll start:
(1) President Obama broke the racial barrier. He earned an education, became a Senator and a lawyer and is now the President.
(2) He has given millions a hope that one day they can do something great, especially those from under privileged areas.
(3) He has largely supported the military until as of recently with the downsizing, which is inevitable in every decade, our leaders have to make cuts...we keep only the best and brightest, right?
(4) He is a very supportive husband and father, and we need strong father role models in today's society where fathers are as rare as a long term-marriage.
I believe he honestly wants good things for America...I don't necessarily agree with the way he is going about it.
(5) He authorized the killing of Osama Bin Laden.
I know there aren't many fans on RP, but if there is something you like, share it if you dare.

Cash for Clunkers! I know many of you took advantage of that program?
Lowest gas prices!

I don't follow politics, but I can't remember ever seeing a Bush on TV to discuss the State of the Union. I do remember each Bush sending us to two wars. I will pay more attention in the future and see if the next President can bring US together. It seems to be an impossible journey for America to be on one accord until something tragic happens. America won't ever be a TEAM until we can set aside our personal agendas which include many individual stars, egos, beliefs and traditions. I am on team America, regardless of who the President is or may be, I wouldn't bash them out of respect.

Unfortunately, the last time we all banded together was post 9/11. So it takes tragedy to bring us together? Sad...but probably pretty true.

@ SGT Scott Bailey Your pie is liberal apples and oranges, we're talking about taxes, not income. How can you claim that the top 1% aren't paying "their fair share" when a) most of their income is from capital gains taxed at nearly 40%, plus they pay exponentially more in consumption related taxes. b) 47% of the people pay NO income tax AT ALL and the top 10% of wage earners pay 70% of the taxes in this country, how is that fair? Why are all those links "shams"? Just because they show a side of Obama you don't want to see? You have been drinking too much Kool-Aid, I'm done with this thread.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. OH, that was negative. I like the fact that is time as dictator will soon come to an end. I would like that he doesn't destroy the United States before he goes.

I like the fact that he was elected and that we had the freedom to hold the elections without fear of retribution.

What do I like about Obama?...

I'll have to get back to you on that one, maybe he will do something worthwhile in his remaining two years.
