Obama has been doing a good job so far of reversing the horrible and destructive executive orders of the Bush administration and he's working to make workings of the Executive branch more transparent and accountable. He's going to reverse the military commissions act. He's ordered the withdrawal of troops from our illegal war in Iraq. He's done something great for the environment by demanding higher mileage standards and allowing California to set our own standards.
I don't really like that he's trying to put together another bail out to restart the economy. This money must come from somewhere, and that will either be from printing more money (inflation) or raising taxes. Either way this harms the economy and doesn't help it.
I expect this from Democrats though. They think government should be all things to all people. Republicans on the other hand think government should enforce Christian morality onto people despite the fact that America is not a Christian nation.
Overall I'm pleased so far with Obama's performance. I give him an B+/A-
Of course Bush was such a disgrace to America he not only got an F-
