How is Obama doing?

<p>I would love to hear your 2 cents.</p>

<p>I’d say he’s doing pretty well (and I’m not affiliated with any party…or…I don’t consider myself to be though my parents’ tax bracket would suggest otherwise).
-The surplus is regenerating the economy (Keynesian economics at its best…!)
-He’s made great strides as Chief Diplomat and has, thus far, has had a very good image.

  • Nuclear proliferation. He’s made the number of weapons we have public, and that’s a good move in my opinion…if we’re seriously going to consider some form of relative peace.
  • Immigration. He’s made a move toward an amnesty agreement to naturalize illegal citizens already here so that we can have records of their whereabouts whilst still reaping the benefits of their economic contributions. </p>

<p>The only thing I’m perturbed about is health care…
I don’t agree with the plan at all and much preferred the previous system in addition to supporting the privatization of social security (at the time SS was made the aging population was considerably smaller; now thanks to advanced technology it has grown enormously and the rift between retiring folks and those “paying into the system” is far too wide - something needs to be done to fix the system or we should begin to dissolve it).</p>

<p>Keynesian economics is the way to go!
lol</p>

<p>It’s sort of a bummer I’m on the up and up pertaining to politics. Not really a great “first date” or “how’s the weather” kind of conversation stemming from that. :stuck_out_tongue:
Perhaps I’ll minor in polisci. Who knows! haha.</p>
