I think he will. The reason his poll numbers are so low now is because people simply expected way too much from him at the beginning of his presidency. With all things considered, I think he's done an ok job, could be better, but he's still accomplished major things. By the time 2012 comes around, Unemployment will surely be lower by then, we'll be out of Iraq and hopefully doing something meaningful in Afghanistan or withdrawing from there.

Sorry but

The expectations are = what he promised

 

 


People expect him to turn the economy around in 2 years when we had 8 years of bad policies.


OMG he did not promise he could clean this mess up in 2 yr's!

He promised he would get out of Iraq. He didn't. He promised to close Gitmo... twice. He didn't. He said if we did the bailouts, unemployment would not go higher then 8.5%. It did. He said if we pass healthcare, it would cost the average american less money. The CBO has stated that health insurance will cost more with the new law, then it would have otherwise.

He said he would bring both parties together. Nope. He said he would control spending. Nope.

That's just 7 quick ones off the top of my head. I could come up with dozens more if I thought about it, but I will stop. Now, give me 7 great things he has done in the two years he has been in office, or at least 7 things he said he would do, that he did.

Out of all his campaign promises he's only broken 20 and has kept 120 along with 38 compromises, 81 are "stalled' and 243 are in the works.  I think he's done a lot, the problem is he promised too much.  With 120 promises kept he has only really accomplished 1/5th of what he promised. (it totals to 505 campaign promises)
