Here are the results of our Obama Dependability poll. Politics Plus Polls are not scientific, because those who respond are not balanced according to demographic categories. Therefore, we do not accurately reflect the makeup of the US population. Nevertheless, our polls are often both accurate and indicative of the nation’s view.

I believe he will do what he can – he no longer has to worry about elections or even the other spineless Dems. But, of course, there is only so much ONE person CAN do especially when surrounded by GOP snot heads.

I voted toss up because I never can predict what he will do.

I voted Toss Up because I’m not happy with his "advisors". I believe he’s a good guy, but he kept too many Bu$h Leaguers in place to begin with, hasn’t uncoupled himself from "moderates", and seems to NEED excessive & overwhelming feedback before he Realizes something is pissing us off or we are Demanding a certain thing. We’re still being mugged by Ungodly Loan prices & Credit Card debt, no REAL Consumer Protection still..etc.

I think it’s a toss-up ad depends on how well he can lie to them and offer them a deal that he reneges on like they have done to him for 6 years.

very likely after all he seems to be one of the few who will stand with him. I think he is as a honest and trust worthy as a man can be. I think he has always been for the little guy he is the kind of man who against all odds he will still with us. We may always agree with how he goes about it but he at least has the answer on how to get the job done.

I went very likely and that is hope more than anything. He is the ONLY person standing between the 1% and the rest of the country, they don’t have enough votes to override a veto, so he has to stand firm; there is no one else to protect the rest of us from the oligarchy of the 1% and their GOP puppets.

Based on his first term, I would also have said "very unlikely." He has been a little better in his second term. But it’s tough to be sure. Several groups have petitions started to him asking him to be a firewall. I have signed a couple.

My "very unlikely" vote is based on Obama’s past performance.

He already tired to shred the safety net, but he did not go far enough for the teabaggers. I don’t see why he will be any different this time around.

I voted toss-up, because he caved-in after the debacle of 2010. If I could change it, iw would change to Somewhat likely,.
A new poll is up.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I'm starting to lean toward "Very Likely". I think he may be quite fed up with them and their obstructionism. He has his big old Veto stamp ready.
I need to make a correction in answer above "We may "not" always agree with how he goes about it but he at least has the answer on how to get the job done"
I also think he is fed up and he has done everything to get at least I'll try to talk" But he could not get anything but NO,NO,NO, and a just a big ignore. There is only so much a person can take. So if he has to veto or do it alone I say go for it. He is the President of the United States.
I thought it depended on the issue what he would do. Thanks TC
Yvonne White has a good point. Of course if he tried now to put in progressive advisers they could not be confirmed. So we mudt becone his advisers by writing and signing even more than ever.
I have no idea what he will do. But, my best instincts tell me that Pres. Obama is fed up more with the repuklicants than he ever has been before! He has got his veto stamp ready for the stupid crap that will come to the Oval Office from the Congressional Dung Heap.
I thought I had voted and commented, but apparently not. I would have voted "somewhat likely".
When Obama was first elected POTUS, I thought he showed great promise. But as the obstructionist Republicanus/Teabaggers persisted in their political buffoonery, Obama kept trying to be conciliatory. There is an expression "shit or get off the pot". Well Obama didn't get off the conciliatory pot early enough in the game so the Republicanus/Teabaggers kept shitting on him. I'm not convinced that he'll be any different, but I sure hope so. Perhaps he can do enough good with his veto power that the next Democrat nominee will benefit, the people will be protected, and the Republicanus/Teabaggers will be seen as the war mongers and masters of hate that they are, only looking out for their corporate masters.
I voted toss up because he has gone from wimp to warrior so many times. I hope he will quit being conciliatory to the Repubs during his last two years and use his veto power freely. I also hope he reins in some of the DINO's who ran from him during the last election. After he is out of office he will still have political power, those dinos should think about that.
