I agree with this aspect of dolphin's post. Let 100 days pass and then see how things are going.

That said, he'd seems to be taking the challanges head on.

:-(
Yeah, the United Fruit Company purchased at fair market value all the arable land in Central America, so there was no piracy there. .

Well he's already told a big fat lie by hiring lobbyists which he said he would not do. Most voters chose to ignore that he was quite chummy in his pre and post Senate days with lobbyists. He's already given his first TV interview to an Arab network, and now that he is President he fully admits his muslim ties to family and countries he's lived. During his campaign no one was allowed to utter his middle name and he completed avoided any mention of islamic ties in his life. The Obama-bots screamed racism and bloody murder if anyone dare mention his Islamic past. He's closing GITMO to appease the Arabs but has no plan as to where to put prison camps. Will probably throw Israel under the bus in favor of Iran and the Middle East. What we have here is another Jimmy Carter. At least he can take comfort in knowing that Bush surpassed Carter as the worst President of the last 100 years, so it'll take a little more effort to hit rock bottom, but he's looking more and more like the same old story...a professional politician who makes promises he won't keep and is completely out of touch with the working class.

Grading a President who's been in office less than two weeks? Unadulterated silliness!

The media and the leftists were measuring Obama's face for Mt. Rushmore before he was even sworn in, so if they are going to hold this guy up on a pedestal when he accomplished nothing as a senator and hadn't even been sworn in yet, then expect him to be watched very closely and judged accordingly.

It's a loaded question, considering he hasn't been in office for 1 month, really.
If no one takes my answer seriously, thanks to the previous sentence, I would say a B or B minus.
