Democrats: What policies of Obama do you see as good?
Republicans: Which policies of Obama do you see as bad?
I have a feeling the lists are almost going to match.

Show us how "the lists" of Republicans match that of democrats.
Democrats embrace pres. Teddy Roosevelt’s (1901-09) "change" for America:
-National healthcare
-Social insurance for the elderly, unemployed and disabled
-Limited injunctions in union strikes
-Federal income tax
-Inheritance tax
TR didn't care how "change" would impact the Constitution: “This, I know, implies a policy of a far more active governmental interference with social and economic conditions in this country than we have yet had, but I think we have got to face the fact that such an increase in governmental control is now necessary.”
Dem. pres. Wilson's (1913-1918) "change": “You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand.” He may have been the first multiculturalist: “No nation is fit to sit in judgment upon any other nation.” Obama put it this way: “Every nation is exceptional in its own way.”
A generation later dem. pres. FDR articulated “change” (before Congress, 1/11/44):
-“We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights...”
-The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation
-The right of every family to a decent home
-The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health
-The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment.
LBJ’s “change,” The Great Society, became the largest redistribution of wealth program in history. But Obama is “out-changing” them all.
It is only because of the Internet, talk radio and Fox News (none existed a generation ago!) that we are learning the truth about how successful the democrat party has been with their “Change”:
-2/4/10 Gallup poll: 61% of liberals have a positive view of socialism.
-6/2/11 Gallup poll: 71% of democrats favor re-distributing wealth.
-9/6-9/2012 http://www.gallup.com/poll/157481/majori%E2%80%A6 Those who believe government should have more control over our lives: Republicans 15%; Independents, 29%; Democrats 67%.
-Now they have national health care, the foundation of all welfare and socialist states.
Obama's policies are designed to help grow the middle class, so we might have a return to economic good times like it used to be after WWII when one guy with a job could buy a house, two cars, and fully provide for a family of four. Today, one guy with that same job can't even buy a house. Jobs that should be paying $50,000 only pay $20,000, so the company can reward the CEO with a $200,000,000 bonus.
Since 95 percent or more of America is middle class, nearly all of Obama's policies are good for America.
