Sorry about this, my fellow British-ers, but this one's aimed at my American friends - I mean, feel free to add your opinions if you like but for the most part I'm interested in American thoughts.
Specifically, I want to know what your opinions are on President Obama and his administration. In light of the SOPA and NDAA stuff, and especially considering all the Republican hullabaloo, I was wondering whether or not you think Obama has been an effective president. Your thoughts on the discrepancies (or, indeed, successes) between his election platform and what he's actually done, I want them.
This isn't intended as a jab at Obama, or meant to be a rabid defence of him - there's a couple of you (Sarah, and em tells me Sam will have some interesting points to raise!) I especially hope will weigh in, but any and all of you should feel free to jump in!
