What grade would you give Obama? (programs, states, 2013, billion)

[lionsgators]

I'd give him second grade. pretty sure he dropped out after that though.

Areas to improve:
NSA surveillance (tone deaf on privacy concerns)
Egypt and Syria policy (too much hesitancy)
Still lets the Tea Party define the agenda rather than having the cojones to shut them down.

Where do you get the idea that federal spending is at its lowest level in decades? Do you have a link for that?

I'd have to agree - even one of the most liberal papers The Washington Post has been giving him the thumbs down lately and not believing the BS coming out of the White House.

On the economy, Obama is faltering under his own terms

But the CinC decides where/when the troops go.

C. I like this healthcare reform and social stances but the economy has been in the mud for long enough. Now that Obamacare is sure to survive I will consider Republican candidates.

F- and that's being very generous. Worst president in our history. He just phones it in and lets his lackeys carry his water. Why did he even bother? I guess it is because he believes his own tired rhetoric.

[Ivorytickler]

This really should have been a poll...

I'd give him an F. He came into office inexperienced and it shows.

[residinghere2007]

B-

I think he is doing above average.
