Here's what I have seen so far:
1. obama is unbelievably aloof, more concerned with his image than fixing the economy
2. obama has poor judgement and is on helluva a hypocrite, raising essentially everyones'
taxes while staffing his admin with at least 4 tax cheats
3. obama has been utterly untransparent so far; he has rammed through more trillions of dollars in dubious programs sight unseen by not only all Republicans but most democrats and definitely not the public, and which threatens to cause hyperinflation when the printing presses start warming up and the money hits the streets. China is signalling it will not buy more of our debt. Most of his budget/porkulus package/bailouts will not create permanent jobs and with all the provisions and payout for non-free market-friendly aspects (like unions), will probably end up hurting and scaring businesses and investments right when we need them the most, in essence resulting in stagflation ala "Jimma" Carter (who was recently seen leaving the WH last week). Also, CBO reveals he underestimates the cost by 2-3 trillion over 10 years.
4. obama has done absolutely NO leading, preferring to outsource legislation costing trillions of dollars to Harry "This war is lost, the surge won't work" Reid and Nancy "illegal aliens are the real patriots" Pelosi.
5. obama has displayed naive and dangerous foreign policy judgement, including signaling to E. Europe countries we will not be there when they need us (missile shield), simply to try to make the disarming of Iran by Russia (which of course was rebuffed) seem like a simple task by obama (in other words, he tried to look good and tossed E. Europe in the garbage in the meantime, and STILL did not accomplish anything). I can go on in this department forever: The Brown DVDs which don't even work outside N. America, the youtube video to the Mullahs of Iran basically acquiescing that Iran was going to have a nuclear weapon, we'll just accept it, and extending an olive branch, which of course Iran refused; the trade war brewing with Mexico over NAFTA, and 96 mexican trucks that obama disallowed to cross the border (payback to unions), resulting in tariffs on US goods from democratic states (Ill, Calif, etc) totaling $2-3 billion; I'm just too exhausted to enumerate the many ways in which the obama mistake (the election) has made the US more unsafe, but the recent decision by obama to close Gitmo and relocate the terrorists to our prisons (where our native prisoners have absolutely NO prepensity to be influenced by extremist muslims) or released (so far 60 or so "recidivists" have returned to the battlefield to kill Americasn soldiers) are just a couple of ways.
6. I might add that it takes true class to make wounded vets pay for their medical care with their private insurance. It also took a lot of class to make fun of special olympians on his great celebrity tour of LA (while his incompetence sinks our economy that he, er, "inherited").
7. Finally, I see dirty Chicago politics are alive and well in what, I think, will be shown to be a quid pro quo with the whole AIG thing: imagine, the admin/Dodd pressure Geithner and Liddy to retain the bonuses of executives in a company that hugely contributed to Chris Dodd/Obama, and then feign ignorance/outrage when the public finds out, and as a result, violate the Constitution by levying taxes on the bonuses as political weapons against a specific class of people, ostensibly to draw attention away from their own complicity.
Worst of all obama is so arrogant that he thinks as president he's "pretty good at it too" (his words) and goes on campaign mode to rally his zombies when he does anything unpopular or destructive
