How Do You Grade Obama?

Pros:
Dragging his feet when it comes to all out war
Unresponsive to demands for austerity
Doesn't seem too interested in implementing carbon taxes
Withdrawing the troops from Iraq and Afghanistan
Supported some infrastructure spending, noticed the roads have improved since 2008 around here
Didn't let the economy totally collapse like Ron Paul wanted
Doesn't really waste time on the culture wars
Weak when it comes to foreign affairs

Cons:
Unresponsive to workers' rights
Deaf tone on outsourcing and free trade
Violates privacy rights (although his admin is more partial to obtaining warrants first than Bush admin)
Didn't radically push for the public option or single payer healthcare
Weak leadership in domestic affairs (see Obamacare saga)
Too easy on illegal immigration
Soft on reverse racism
Likes gun regulation too much

Overall, I give him a C



Somebody that casts a D or an F listens to Alex Jones or Limbaugh way too much. Works the other way around, too

I gave him and F and I have no idea who Alex Jones is and I wouldn't listen to Rush if you paid me - Obama has always been too worried about his legacy and not in tune with the job he was elected to do. The only positive thing he'll be remembered for is being the first black president - and that's only a half truth.

Who is alex jones? I know who limbaugh is, but I never listen to his damfool show.
However, I certainly DID give obama an "F"!
What else could any thinking person give to an empty suit?

A C and I am a non-party line Republican. But we still have over a year for his Presidency. May move up or down.

I clearly recall how bad things were in 2009. Never again I hope we encounter such despair in our national fortune.

As a comparison

Bush would be an F

Clinton a B

Bush 1 a C+

Reagan a B+

At least he's an adult.

And he is pro-Russia. Our own dictator is pro-anything-but-America.
