    My gauge of how well Obama is doing is by how bitter and desperate basso gets.

    Obama has had a rough two years and made lots of mistakes. But that is typical for presidents.

    Reagan and Clinton both had very subpar first years in office. And the presidency has become a tougher and tougher office to manage over time.

    Its way too early to rate Obama as a president - either good or bad, since many of his policies haven't even been fully enacted.

    What is clear is that he's struggled to find his leadership style but recent months do seem to indicate he's finally found his grove. I think now that he has given up on "compromise" he'll find a bit more success.

    Yes. Political scientists usually say it takes 20 years at the very least to rate a president.

    Horsehockey..... no one has a bigger ego than Bubba, well Trump, but Bubba can walk the walk.

    But really people it's a****y Basso thread emailed out from the home office in Witchita, you are getting sucked into a black hole of pointlessness. It's Mr. Obama's opinion, though he did not back it up with examples and comparisons and it's anybody else's knee jerk reaction , that I notice they are not explaining with with comparison and examples. It's just a pissing match.

    I said foreign policy accomplishments, not the degree to which we were loved by the rest of the world. Basing our foreign policy decisions off of what the average European or Asian wants is just silly.

    Nixon's opening of China and Reagan's destruction of the Soviet Union( it's a little more nuanced than most of his fans like to portray it as, but he did play a major role) are far more important than anything Obama has accomplished foreign policy wise or is likely to accomplish.

    This is true. Basso is a sad excuse for a human being, but yet, he's sucked some of us into this again.

    I only wish he followed the Rockets as much as he follows BillO, Glenn and Hannity.
