I like Obama, despite having major divergences with his views. I think he is a honest and good-willing man who has done his best to pull the country out of the mess caused by the previous administration. His biggest mistake was, actually, that he attempted to appeal and work with people whose sole intent was to make him a "one-term President". He was naive in this regard, and his naivety resulted in the inability to pass most of his agenda, and eventually caused the 2010 debacle. Still, it's hard to hate him for underestimating the horribleness of Republicans.

I also don't like Romney of course, even compared to a standard Republican. But that's superfluous.

On the other hand, it is true that my fear of a Romney presidency is much higher than my hope on an Obama presidency. But at this point, for the US, the lack of regression is a progress in itself...
