Fer me, the big thing about Obama is that he speaks well. I think that was FDR's biggest strength and what really pulled the US out of the Great Depression. Well, that and the CCC and WPA etc. (And, I gotta say, those two agencies were money well spent.)
I think he makes intelligent responses to the situations presented--the Palin pregnancy and this lipstick thing fer example. Well considered, civil, taking the high ground rather than sinking to their level.
The Republican scheme seems to be: tell the people what they want, no matter how un-realistic it is and us gullible USians swallow it hook, line and sinker.
I gotta say I'm very schitzophrenic when it comes to the future. On the one hand, I have decided not to reproduce so I really don't care what you breeders do with the country and the world. On the other hand, I do the 'think global, act local' thing.
