What makes him worthy of a re election? I do not know much about this subject but would like to become educated on it. Is trying enough? I try to eat healthy, is that enough? Is his personality worthy enough to warrant a re election? We already established he has not kept all his promises, what has he done right? I always feel so confused in these discussions, so could someone please explain it to me? Based on Areym and Toastboy's post, I have come to the conclusion that if someone tries their best, their best is sufficient(at least when it comes to presidents), and a president that has a cool attitude should be re elected(or at least in this case). Did I reach the right conclusions? Please enlighten me.

I don't think I have enough time in the day...

Just try to answer as much as possible. I really want to see their thought process when deciding that Obama is a good president and Bush is bad(they did not say it, but many do it seems). I will not care either way about either of them, without someone elaborating, even though the media tells me that Bush is Satan and Obama is Jesus, while rich people tell me the opposite. Long story short, I would like to hear your opinion and the thought process behind it, so that I myself, can reach a logical and well educated decision on my stance on this subject.

Presidents don't operate in a vacuum.  Promises might not be kept for any number of reasons.  Congress is usually involved.  Circumstances change (see 9/11 or the financial collapse).

It depends on your political views and which direction you want things to go.  Are you closer to Obama and the Dems or are you closer to the Republicans?  Their are some significant differences in the direction each side wants to take things.  You should base your decision on who to vote for based on policies and not a "cool attitude".

Exactly. That is why I wished for those other people to elaborate, so that I could find out if they were as ignorant to the situation as me.It is sad to see that everyone I see/ talk to hates Bush, but I have yet to see him do anything that would warrant such hate. It seems like most people hate him for what happened in his presidency, even if it was out of his hands. If there are reasons for hating Bush because of things he did, please list them because I do not know anything about this subject.
