No.
He's a politician. And I'm not a citizen of the States

I voted for him in 2008 and will vote for him again this year but no, no I don't.

I don't trust any politician
Yes to these two answers.
Am I excited to vote for him this time? No. But he still has my vote. I could never vote for a slimey big busienss guy who will say absolutely anything to get elected like Mitt Romney.

Why would I trust a Muslim socialist who was born in Kenya?

i'm not an american but knowing his opponents i'd vote for him in a heartbeat. i somehow think he will loosen up in his second term without worrying about an reelection. but that's easy to say without suffering the consequences of his doings.

It looks like he's raising taxes on the rich this year. Communist scumbag.

I trust him far more than any other competing/related politician who exists/is forced to operate in this political system and climate.
Yes, I trust him.

Also
I trust Obama more as a human than a politician
I distrust any GOP candidate as a politician and as human beings.

No, but I "trust" him more than any GOP candidate. More importantly I'm more inclined to believe he's not going to do anything stupid, like start a war with Iran
It's not about trusting what he says he'll do policy-wise, necessarily--but I generally trust his intelligence and judgment.
That's much more important than anything, IMO. In our current political climate, I really think he's about the best we can do as a country.
Being president is about making the best out of a bunch of hard choices and shitty situations, and I think he's done a pretty good job of that.

Lesser of two evils. Also, not evil, just not the over-competent Superman we had hoped he would be.
GOP candidates on the other hand are certainly evil

Trust him to do what?
Pay me back if he needed to borrow some money from me?
Sure, he's good for it.

I'm not american, but if i was, i would vote for him over any sort of republican. These guys always sound like nutjobs, why would people vote for them? Even if you don't like everything that Obama did, is it really worth it to vote for republicans just because of that, when these guys might do even worse?
It's the same thing in Quebec here, i dont always like what our prime minister does, but i still think its better than the alternatives : You either have the party obsessed of separating from Canada(and who is losing members every month or so) or the newly formed party who just say "We'll see" to every questions.

Out of the entire political establishment of United States (all three branches, every politician in the country), I trust him the most. Your premise is faulty as well. Obama didn't deliver on his promises because he's an untrustworthy slickster. Check out the gridlock in Congress and the filibuster rate for the past 3 years.

I like him as a person but I don't like how bad he has fumbled the health care law and his complete disaster of prosecuting the wallstreet crimes. Not that the republicans are any better, so I'm voting for no one.

He's a politician, so not really.

I never did trust him.
He is and will always be a communist to me. No matter how many political compromises he has to make publicly, I know in his heart he would like to remake America into something only Lenin could appreciate.

Agreed. He's far from perfect, but he's better than anyone in the GOP field... and yes that includes the much loved Ron Paul.
Edit:
I should note that I'm a somewhat partial to Newt. I'm a space fanboy and so is Newt! Almost makes me want to vote for him.
