At least he isn't ripping apart the constitution like Cheny or his figurehead Bush.

Ahem . . . what do you call him doing right now.
Obama is in full support of converting our current health coverage system into a national program.
So, what's so wrong with this??? It's unconstitutional!
It denies us our right to "Life, Liberty, and the Persuit of Happiness." How so, if it supposed to give us health insurance that is funded by taxes instead of our pocket books, isn't it supposed to be better?
It seems better, except for one thing, the Government gets to create a monopoly out of the health system. The best example is the US public school system. families who can't afford it are forced to send their student to a school based off of where they live, and that can changed based on the growth of cities around them. If the families choose to send their children to other schools, they still pay the taxes for the schools that are in their district, as well as the fees for the schools they are sending their children to.
In particular, the government would would retain full control over our health system. They get to decide what is covered by the system, and if you don't like it, tuff. While it could help, it denies citizens the liberty to not only chose their doctors but health plan that is right for themselves. It denies them life as the government can pretty much say, "you don't need this operation," simply because it is too expensive to pay for. It denies you happiness because of the issues with the system.
Sure, our current health care system may not be the best, but socializing it will only make it worse (you know "Social Security", it will become "Social Health Care").

While I understand it hasn't been a full year of his presidency, there are issues with how he is going about spending.
For one, he is unconstitutionally forcing money onto businesses. Some would ask, "How is it unconstitutional if FDR did similar during the Great Depression?"
Diferenence between his plans and FDR's is FDR ultimately went through many declarations of "unconstitutionality" before he figured the best way to go about the issues. His solution was to fund national improvement projects, rather than give out money to the masses. He hired companies to build highways, beautify cities, and ultimately improve the infrastructure of the US. This ultimately pulled us out of the Great Depression constitutionally and economically, as the cash flow ultimately improved the economy indirectly.
The current situation is similar to the saying, "If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day, if you teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime." Simply giving businesses money only encourages them to do the same thing they did before. Instead, he should be coming up with some kind of Federal Improvement Plan to which he can hire the general public (companies) to work on.

Those who complain about wars, let's face it, war actually helps the economy. Look at the 2 two World Wars. In both of those war, many of today's big name industries got their big start from the war, thanks to al the funding the government provided for construction.

Now the big issues, which has been noticed before, but was finally shown on TV. The censoring of the Obama Press questions.
The best example is Obama's first 100 days in office, what questions did the reporters ask?

So, how does it feel to be the president of the US of A

There were no mention of any questions that where always traditionally asked after the first 100 days, questions like how well the US is doing now that he has been in office for 100 days.
The first 100 days is supposed to be about the US, not about how comfortable the president feels.
The Presidential Press pre-screens all questions, as usual; however, they refuse to allow any questions to be asked that may bring questions to the validity of any of the current operations being conducted by the current office.
If you think this is conspiracy, then consider this. Why has there been so few questions asked at these conferences which thousands wish he (Obama's staff) would answer to. Why has there been so few questions which ask the validity of any of his plans? Why are there so many statements praising the celebrity president who constantly undermines his country, calling us weak, lost, and stupid . . . bowing down to countries that have wronged us and several people in the past . . . turning blind eyes to countries people seeking help.
I can't wait until the next election when somebody much better will run against him (I do agree that McCain was a horrible choice), assuming our freedoms of choice last that long.
