I tend to give him the benefit of the doubt on a personal level. I think he's demonstrated good diplomatic acumen (Kerry, on the other hand...), good constitutional know-how, a moderate knack for the bully pulpit, and pretty nuanced moral compass. Personally. I've long since given up faith in the presidential institution, though. And as such, I think he's faired as well or as poorly as any president can in this day and age- for what it's worth, I think he has used his attributes as effectively as possible, given the post. Which is unsettling.
