Thank God there was a sliver of opposition, otherwise we'd be in a total flunk! Or is it Flush?

The first 2 years of unopposed run-a-muck governance gave us the Unaffordable Healthcare Act, and "we must pass this bill to know what's in it" law making.

I hear this complaint about Congress from a lot of Americans. The weird thing is that the incumbents, by and large, keep getting re-elected. Here's a tip. If you want Congress to change, then vote the current idiots out!

I can't believe people aren't revolting in the streets over that bold part.

That only gives him an A.

I didn't think there was anyone alive who would **** off Republicans more than Bill Clinton, then Obama came.

You have to grade Obama within the context of what he can do that is politically feasible. He isn't a dictator who can do whatever it is he really wants to do; Congress and the Courts are also involved with the state of our nation's economy and the health of our nation. A good portion of the country is filled with Tea Party 'Tards which makes it difficult to do certain things (like replace our broken quasi-free market health care system with real socialized medicine).

Overall, I give Obama a C grade.

I'm not a big fan of Obama, but the alternatives to him could have been much worse.
