I’m not saying that I have been happy with any administration 100%. But I'm UNHAPPY with the current administration probably 95%, or 110% if you consider the damage it has done and will do to America. Other than the leadership exhibited immediately after 9/11 (which made me proud, and glad that Bush was our President), I can’t think of a single achievement of this administration.

In my lifetime, I liked Ike's pragmatism and rock-solid leadership. I am grateful for Kennedy's and Johnson's Civil Rights advances, and Kennedy's inspirational leadership in taking us to the moon. I admired Nixon's China policy, which took guts and vision. I liked Reagan's dogged insistence the democracy would prevail over communism. I liked Bush I’s ability to build a coalition for Iraq I, and his wisdom in understanding that we did not have the means or international support to "nation-build" in Iraq. I liked Clinton's fiscal leadership, taking us out of deficit spending and into surpluses, and the welfare reform that was enacted on his watch.

I could give you examples from each of the above administrations where they fell short, sometimes far short. I can’t give you a single example of this President’s vision or wisdom or leadership. Other than and aforementioned 9/11 aftermath. Which lasted all of a month or two.
