Obama is more a positive influence as a leader than a negative.

Obama gets higher marks for trust than most Washington-based politicians and deserves it based on demonstrated balance on the issues and record on most critical fronts. Seems pretty clear that the voices of MAC et al. (mulitiple posts and example of a troll if there ever was one) get more frantic when the examples of positive results (economic and otherwise) become more prevalent. Oh well MAC, you've got less company on the extreme margins these days.
