why...? for ALL the reasons you listed above.
Obama was handed a steaming plate of crap and is doing the best he can to make something out of it... I honestly believe that he would much rather be working on the things he envisioned when he spoke of hope during the campaign.

Instead he has to try and get these messes born of our 8 years of Cowboy Arrogance under control....and try to keep things from spiraling any further into destruction as he does so.

I don't like the bankers getting the deals while the rest of us are groveling to survive
I hate wars and wish our troops were more skilled at building infrastructure and diplomacy with the peoples of these nations that have been razed by greed - rather than using bullets and bombs.
And Healthcare may end up being a shadow of a bill instead of what it should be.

But the road to recovery is never a straight and easy path and we have been in an abusive relationship with the NeoCons controlling our country for more than 8 years

And I have to trust that the man who has 2 young children and wants to ensure they HAVE a planet and a country full of opportunity is working hard to make that a reality... (because honestly, what else have we got to hope for?)
