If you are going to stay within the concept of this thread, you should stick with politicians that served, not just spread you highly biased opinions to people who did not.

Your guarantee failed. Where is my payment?

I would rate him a B+. He did a pretty good job in addressing some of the worst problem we face including a lop sided Healthcare system and poor education standards. He is in the process of mending ties with some of our age old arch enemies which no president had the courage to do. He do have issues with adamancy and irreconcilable nature on some issues. But, he has also made some significant steps to control the real issue of climate change and racial relations.

I am sure he will be remembered as one of the greatest presidents of this century especially compared with all his recent predecessors and possible successors in the near future.

In any case. I will not vote Democrat in next election considering the quality of their candidates so far.

Health care has gotten worse with limited coverage (has to be approved) and increased costs. The education system has declined even further under his guidance, all he does to our "arch enemies" is appease them by giving them what ever they want. Race relations are at the worst point in 60 years because of him and climate "change" is unaffected by any of his proclaimed actions as it is a natural condition and his attempt at passing laws on the subject fail because he has no power to enforce them world wide. See the problem?

With all of his failures, I am sure that he will be held up as an example of how not to govern.

Too bad you didn't make your poll public so we could see who the 23 people were that gave him an A. It always helps when debating them down the rode.

I'm intrigued what more you could hope for out of a president.

When Obama took over, the prior administration had fostered our worst economic collapse since the Depression. We were mired in expensive, pointless wars that were kept off the accounting books, and we had terribly simplistic solutions to complex global relations.

Fast forward today and we have:
A low unemployment rate (as well as low participation rate due primarily to Baby Boomers free to retire and young adults staying in school longer)

A fully recovered stock market

Over 200,000 jobs created a month

Rising household income

Diplomatic rather than war solutions

Strategic and effective military strikes that have taken on the most terrorists of any administration

Healthcare that doesn't allow people to freeload anymore or let insurance companies kill people who can't pay

And expanded social liberties for long-oppressed groups.


Objectively speaking, that's a successful presidency, even if you don't agree with the policies.
