For the record, let me unequivocally state that I have never wanted to have sex with Obama, nor did I ever depict him wearing a cape, tights or a superhero costume of any kind. That said:
"Happy" is not a word that I would ever associate with politics. I voted for Obama because he comported himself with dignity, spoke in steady, measured tones, elucidated a vision of an America that I thoroughly agreed with, and generally behaved like a rational adult (which is more than I can say for the other side).
Overall, I give Obama a B-/C+. He's not the stunning A student that I was hoping for, but he takes his job seriously, does his homework, and generally acts exactly like what he is: a measured, centrist, low-key policy wonk. He's assumed all the responsibility for a terrible time of crisis while his fellow politicians pander, demagogue, tweet inanely, throw spitballs, smash furniture and set fire to the school.
He inherited one of the worst economic meltdowns in US history and kept us from plunging over the supply-side cliff. We're still in big trouble, no doubt about it, but the economy is inching forward, as opposed to flooring it in reverse. God only knows what would have happened if we continued down the road that led us here in the first place. He has reversed many of the trends that I found abhorrent in the last administration, but he hasn't managed to sell those changes to the public. Of course, all of his decisions would be cast in a very different light if the economy had dramatically improved. The continuing global economic grind has cast a pall over everything.
I'm VERY disappointed with some of Obama's policy decisions, I think he's strangely politically naive, and I'm often frustrated that he doesn't bring the fight to the other side. Also, he doesn't (publicly) push his own party hard enough, often leaving the Congress to thrash around on their own. His leadership skills haven't modulated with the tone of our politics, which is increasingly shrill to the point of insanity.
I think Obama's race is causing this administration to be more reactive and calculating than it would otherwise have to be, which is a great shame.
So, overall, I've had no reason to regret pushing that little button with the "X" next to Obama's name. He's managed to hold things together while his political opponents melt down into an increasingly pure ball of dangerous, misguided ideological hatred.
