He hasn't let an attack happen on US soil that's killed around 3000 people yet. He's kept us safer than Bush and Cheney.
He's made steps to do things he promised in the election. He's reevaluated some of his older positions, he's opened up diplomatic channels where none or small ones existed before. Change takes time and he's careful and well reasoned about what he does and why.
Me and most people I know are still very enthusiastic about him and what he has already and intends to accomplish in the future. Despite what Limbaugh would have you believe no one thought he would wave a magic change wand and everything would be different overnight. I'm very confident in his approach to things and his ability to learn from history and his predecessors' mistakes.
It'll be a while till he can dig us out from the shitstorm he was left with, but he's off to a good start. One of the ways you can gauge his efficacy is by the irrational venom the fringe right wing(mainstream america according to fox news) spews at him for every tiny thing he does.
