Hellzapoppin; As sort of a "small L libertarian" I find myself voting Republican on most national policy issues, so I don't agree with a lot of Obama's agenda items. My take on him as president isn't quite as low as those who regard him as an utterly empty suit, but I think he does lack experience, and that he sometimes substitutes liberal ideology for data.

Likeability? He seems likeable to me, but like a lot of college professors and lawyers he comes of as regarding education and intelligence as the same thing -- I don't see a lot of respect in him for the working class people who he's supposed to support.
