My 2¢ on Obama

The basic gist:  Expectations were huge.  It's a giant leap forward.  There's both many plans and constantly many more problems on the table.  In action, he's unbeatable, though there's a strange reticence on seemingly easy victories that score well on polls, like repealing D.A.D.T.

These are all very serious accomplishments, seemingly more productive towards real goals than the entire second term of Bush.  

More in depth view:

I feel that there's so much bustle and hum at the White House that much of it is buried under the big stories and takes a certain level of sleuthing to find. An example, the bees at the Victory Garden.
