POLL: How do you rate President Obama's first year in office?

[tinman01]

Well lets see. Has done what he promised to do?
democrats are locking republicans out of decision making. Not good. It was supposed be a partnership. Clinton found a way to do it.
Record spending and massive pork increase. Hmmm well no President will ever change that.
Over all I think Obama has earned a C.
He did inherit a mess. No not just from Bush but from our elected reps. After all it is they who hold the purse strings.
Obama hasn't done anything to earn the scorn he receives from some. Nor has done anything to earn the adoration and praise he receives from others. He at best has been average.

Michael Steele has never been a member of Congress Do you also think it mere coincidence the GOP appointed Steele to their leadership after their party was handed a major defeat by the first black President? If you do you're very naive. The number 1 issue when Obama took office was to stop the economy from collapsing. He indeed did do that plus the recession has ended his first year in office. Jobs are historically one of the last areas to recover from a recession.

I dislike Obama's POLICIES I could give a crap if he is black, green or purple. He is NOT focused, he IS the president and NEEDS to be. Focus on the number 1 issue then the others. If people have jobs more have health-care, wake up and realize that.Make all the excuses you want but anyone with a brain can see the man has no clue what the hell he is doing, he is being lead around by the balls by Reid and witch woman and I don't mean Michelle.
