On military affairs: he's on auto pilot. People trumpet "oh, he's pulling the troops out". He has no choice. Even BUSH would have had no choice. The Iraqis have served notice that the troops cannot stay. And where is he sending the troops? Afghanistan. Into a re-enactment of Vietnam because we dare not consistently pursue the Taliban into Pakistan. The fact there have been strikes there are pushing Pakistan to the brink of civil war. He's nothing special for foreign policy compared to Bush. He talks big about we're all friends now and everyone's so happy to see him. But he's not DOING anything basically different. Plus, bet you when the Iraqi civil war flares up again, he'll find a pretext to put the American troops BACK in Iraq.
Remember : He's already said he's in favor of a war on Iran "to protect Israel". Israel's existence is already threatened by Iran's massive biological warfare program. There is no qualitatively new threat in their nuclear program. So this is another fool's errand. An Israeli attack on Iran will SPIKE world oil prices at least $150.00 a barrel, perhaps more if Iranian vandalism of the shipping lines in the gulf succeed even somewhat as well as they claim. We'll forget the political fallout: this consequence alone should have him saying "I'm revoking the blank check Bush wrote for your policy". So how is he an improvement here?
Cowardly in the face of Republican opposition: you mean the way he hemmed and hawed about the budget begging the Republicans to play nice and then finally he gave up and just bribed a few of them, costing billions in pork? Oh and remember what Brad Hicks noted: if you say "this bill must pass" that's code for "send me your bribe price now". He's either a noob or he doesn't care about being efficient with the government's resources. He's so "bold" about Republican opposition he refuses to prosectue WAR CRIMES. He's so "brave" in standing up to their financial lobby that the most he could make himself do was repeal Bush' tax cuts. Yah, quite a deal we have here a real wonderpup.
