In my opinion, I strongly believe that Obama's character type is definitely active but he sways from positive to negative sometimes. There cant be a definite type for Obama. his presidency has proven to be delicate in his past two terms. Tension between Congress and Obama has changed a lot in the past 7 years. When Obama was running for president, he had a very active positive outlook. He wanted to make policy more bipartisan and he seemed very confident in the fact that he could do that. When Obama was elected into office, his outlook took a 180. He never realized how much Congress would be a pain in the butt. He tried to show republicans a new budget plan and he was optimistic that he could make them change their minds and help him out. He got nothing out of that meeting and he put on his poker face so he didnt look defeated. He was very active negative when he needed bankers help to back him and none of them showed up to his meeting. This set him back and made him realize what he was in for. The whole process of making Obamacare a thing put a real damper on the president because he saw how much the opposition would not budge. When Obamacare was passed Obama had a mix of positive and negative. Positive because he got a huge piece of legislation passed and negative because he knew he would face a lot of opposition in the future. Also, he knew that a lot of work had to be done before he could start celebrating. As his presidency went on, Obama became even more negative. In his second term, he has had to go toe to toe with the brute forces of the republicans. They have basically said no to all of Obama's ideas. He sees rebellion of the republicans that goes on for many years and is loathing the future of his presidency for that reason. Obama has turned very negative towards the end of his second term. Obama's character type doesnt fit this this time period because an active positive president is needed to kill the gridlock in congress that has been happening for some years now. 2016 voters should definitely look out for a good active positive candidate that looks to be a solid figure

This article goes on to explain how Obama doesnt really show a zest for being president so he cant really be classified as active positive. His outlook on the presidency so far makes him look a lot more like an active negative president. He has swayed a lot throughout his presidency though.
Great article!
