Judging from the responses in this thread, I assume most people on here consider Obama to be an HP. Which I find to be a hilarious development. Perhaps most on here would have wished for Mitt Romney to be in office right now.
To make a comparison;, you can think that a Nerf gun is a lame toy because it isn't a Nintendo DS, but that doesn't mean you'd prefer a pet rock to a Nerf gun. Obama is flawed and disappointng sometimes, but I'd take him any day over a Republican.
I sure hope that this is the case. Sometimes, it seems like Obama gets attacked much more harshly than he should. Of course, he has his flaws, but he's not the "regressive has-been" that some on here seem to think that he is.
