c.....room for improvement.As many of you know, on Opera, Obma Graded his performance a "B+", and said had he passed his health care, he would have given himself higher...
I think the dood is on crack. :lol:
What grade would you give him thus far? :mrgreen:
Oh and discuss specifically why you arrived at said grade.
why is it so awful to restrict salaries and bonuses on bailed out banks? and clearly, banks NEED to be regulated. trust me, i work at a bank.Well, he hasn't really accomplished much from a legislative standpoint, besides big spending projects (stimulus, proposed cap and trade). Much of what he does seems to be done by decree, at which time congress folds and gives very little actual consideration to the ramifications of such actions (GM takeover, threats to increase regulations/control on banks and large corporations, salary caps, bonus restrictions, etc).

those are pluses imo.
he does rock those shades.C-/D
Cons:
He has not fulfulled his campaign promises on privacy or transparency
The stimulus sucked
The bailouts sucked
The Wall Street reform bill sucks
The healthcare bill will either fail to pass or suck
Pros:
Lifted the stem cell research funding ban
He's not Bush
He looks at least twice as badass as any other president in memory
He isn't Bush so I'm still glad I voted for him, but he has been wholly unimpressive as a President
Why, specifically.

Like? .......
I just edited my post and added a couple of reasons. I'm on dial up this morning due to a storm and will add more as time and patience allows.
for effort?I gave him an A.
do you have some proof that the "international community" is laughing at us? really, remember the DOH! headline when bush was elected a second time? THAT was the international community laughing at us.F
-Constitution: Miserable failure, appointed possibly the highest number of czars to date, they are not accountable to anyone but him and aren't appointed. His wish list includes a switch from the "negative rights" constitution to a philosophy more leaning to government control(heard on clips from a radio program he guested on). Has been a gun control proponent, and there was that whole "emergency internet powers" debacle. Oh, and let's not forget the takeover of GM, Chrysler, AIG, and the multitude of banks, daring to try to limit pay of top executives, talks of overtaking Healthcare, and Cap & Trade.
-Economics: complete failure, Trying the same tax increase and regulatory talk that has been proven for nearly a hundred years to NOT WORK, this man that passes for a U.S. leader obviously not one with a working grasp of the subject.
- Foreign policy: Abject failure, the apology tour has pissed off his country, along with making us a target for undeserved derision and laughter by the international community(we are being laughed at for our actions when our only real shame should be electing Obama). This presedent is the perfect combination of clueless and weak when it comes to recognizing threats and how they are best dealt with.
- Domestic agenda: Colossal failure, jobs are bleeding out like a knifed artery, the market is no longer in a free fall, however every time it sees a gain that is negated by the inherent losses that follow it, thus we are in a period of stagnation and possibly are looking at a double dip recession. The health talks could potentially add to unemployment initially and set up care shortages for the future if this becomes a reality. This is the fastest approval ratings drop in the history of presidential polling, and we aren't even at year one of this national catastrophe......sorry, I mean presidential administration.
So, I hang a rock solid F on this president for total and abject failure.
