Nothing is ever black and white and with that in mind I find the following to be positives (concerns in parentheses).

More troops to Afghanistan (what is the end game? when is it?).
Getting out there to pimp universal health care (back room deals, possibility of no public option).
Stimulus/Bailout (though it might not be enough).
He attempt at bipartisanship (doesn't seem to work much though).
His willingness to go out and talk to the American people.
Support for education expenditures in the stimulus.
Support for cap and trade (not enough capping and no trade to speak of but it's a start).
Willingness to go out and cleanup the image of the U.S.
Reauthorizing SCHIP.
Supporting and signing the following legislation:
- Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act
- Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act
- Credit CARD Act of 2009
- Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009
