(57,936 posts)helping the children of illegal immigrants. And I like his stands on gay marriage.
I do not like his stands of surveillance within the US or of our internet and phone messages.
I like the fact that he has brought us closer to universal healthcare.
I don't like the fact that he wants to cut Medicare.
I am disappointed in the way the Afghanistan situation has been handled. I think we could have done it much better had we not allied ourselves with a corrupt regime there.
I do not like the fact that we will be giving a lot of money to Pakistan. They are not our friends. The Bin Laden situation proves that to me.
So, I really like some of the things Obama stands for and has done. I do not like others at all.
Obama's reaction to the protests in Wisconsin and to Occupy as well as to Wikileaks do not show much trust in democratic movements or much realism about what the internet means for government secrecy.
Change is afoot, and Obama is resisting it. The resistance is bound to prove futile.
Thanks, BlancheSplanchnik.
