I give him a D, only because he deserves recognition for being a and becoming the most powerful man on earth... in appearance anyway. You have to admit he's really just the DNC's token black guy. If he were anything buy a Progressive Democrat, he'd be labeled an Uncle Tom, and certainly an Oreo.

F.

If I wanted a dictator, I would prefer Putin.

At least he's an adult.

If anyone casts a vote for eiher A or B, they are either a relative or a sycophant.

I grade presidents on the content of their character, and I don't like liars.

Therefore, an F.

Just posted this list on another thread but it seemed to fit here too:

He get a big fat whopping F

- the overall failures of Obama's economic policies
- the lack of a budget under his watch
- foreign affairs nightmares
- the failure of his green initiatives
- his constant divisiveness on race, class and gender matters
- unemployment
- the constant gaffes his VP makes
- the mess that is Obamacare and the fact that it is raising premiums and cutting hours for people
- more debt and more spending (when he promised to cut)
- the teleprompter goofs and how it seems it is his crutch
- more people on disability, foodstamps and below the poverty line
- women and minorities are doing worse under him
- his constant blaming of the previous admin
- Cronyism

Seeing as I'm one of the small handful of objective regulars on here and not some ideological blowhard, here are my thoughts:

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

McCain D-

Palin Incomplete

Agreed. Putin makes Obama look like an incompetent, inept child (probably because he is). Obama is a joke internationally as well as in the US. Now this fool has backed himself into a corner with his "line in the sand" and is going to do something stupid (again).

The last strong statesman we had was Reagan. Even though I don't agree with the politics, the FDR, Truman, Ike, Kennedy run had true leaders as well.

I would have switched Romney and Ryan. Romney was more moderate than Ryan
