So, why not let us know your opinion of Obama, 5 months in.
Has been too naive about certain things. Transparency, the naive stance on those who have been "lobbyists" the Middle East, bipartisanship.
That being said, I think transparency is brilliant and genuine and I'll be interested in seeing where it goes and how it is received.
I don't agree with his stance on energy, nor with his appointments.
I like his stance on healthcare and food safety and his appointments at the FDA.
I am concerned about Treasury. Geithner is working hard and doing the right things but I doubt that he's staffed up.
Haven't come to conclusions about the Homeland Security and CIA appointments or policies yet.
Like Gates. Like Obama keeping Gates on. Like him listening to his experienced generals on the ground.
Like that he cares about education. Wish there wasn't an economic crisis and two wars.
Love that he appoints scientists and is not afraid of technology and science like Bush.
Think State could be a real success but haven't seen proof of this yet. Hillary put some good and experienced senior managers in practically on Day One.
USDA I don't know. Probably depends upon the appointees below Vilsack. To me he's a cypher.
Middle East - naive but brilliant. I'm cautiously optimistic but concede it could all blow up like it did with the past presidents.
Stimulus - time will tell whether it stimulates or not.
