If you're looking for a politician that you will agree with 100% of the time, and does things your way 100% of the time, you're not going to find him.

I'd say that I get most of what I want with Obama.

Granted, I think he should be even more aggressive with dealing with the economy than he already is, and go more Keynesian than neo-liberal with his economics. At the same time, I recognize that some of this is because of political strategy - he's making a big show of going a little slow, trying to get the Republicans on board, and so on, but that's so he'll have enough political capital to steamroll them when he's at the point where things need to get done.
