The three most important issues for me are: mitigating climate change, upholding the constitution and health insurance reform.

I would give Obama a B on the first and last issue and an F on upholding the Constitution. We need to give detainees a fair trial or release them in order  to  say we have a democratic republic; we need to prosecute anyone who has been violating our laws and treaties. If we cannot do this, we are being our own enemies.
