Some positive, some neutral, mostly negative and very little that concerns my personal existence on a daily basis or impacts my life in any meaningful way. Which is fine, because I don't depend on career politicians to enrich my life and absent some astronomically unlikely dictatorial seizure of power, can't hinder it without my consent.

Credit where it is due, the positives
Killed the F-22
Ended the War in Iraq
Began Draw down of War in Afghanistan
Expanded National Service (it's voluntary)
Trimmed and Reoriented Missile Defense
Expanded Stem Cell Research (untied the hands of private research)
