This was an interesting article I just saw on CNN:

For the record here, there were some things I supported during the Bush era and some things I did not.
Let me focus on what I did not support:
#1 The Invasion of Iraq- A war I did not ever understand and which was never adequately explained.
#2 The overall handling of the Middle East wars and the "war on terror"- there was obvious mismanagement.
#3 The encouragement of the housing bubble and wild speculative lending to people who could not afford loans
#4 The tax cuts. Well, I do like tax cuts and more money in my pocket, but at the same time I like a government which has the capacity to pay its bills.
There are things I did not support during the first term of the Obama era which are the polarization which he promised to improve upon during his 2008 campaign. He has said repeatedly that we are not just red states and blue states, but his actions suggest otherwise. I dont like how Obama sells his points or explains things. He explains things in such a way which makes one part of America mad and the other part happy. It seems as if he exclusively caters to his base.
Overall, the President I really liked was Bill Clinton and those years I remember very well.
Today, I want us to be out of the Middle East. I want us to be more united. I can't stand the fact that some people out there want us to be divided and feel that its "us against them".
Just my rambling for the night...
