C/C-. Campaign Obama is nothing what Presidential Obama is. Healthcare was a good try, but done wrong. Libya was a mistake. Passing the Patriot Act pisses me off.

I am surprised that you gave him a better grade than me Tessy.

my vote went to a C+. I would give Obama higher if he would show some guts and stand up to the right wingers a whole lot more. When he signed the tax cuts after the election - that was a terrible mistake.
I think he has done more good than bad but his move to the right to placate the right wing is just not a good thing.
she is fair-minded.
I think the difference is that she gave him a B- in Party Leadership whereas after writing two papers on it I gave him a C+/C in my head which I guess would be the difference between her C+/C and my C/C-.

I think he's good at rallying his own team, at least on the hill...and since he set records for voter participation in '08 I had to weigh that ability to incite the base and independents like he did. Doesn't happen very often.
I would agree that Libya is a mistake...but I've always contended that domestic politics plays an important part in foreign policy. If the US hadn't intervened in Libya, he would've been criticized for having less balls than the French, and Libya would be his Rwanda.
stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Candidate Obama =/= President Obama.
I would say Congressional Dems are trying to rally him, more than the other way around. There's an increasingly larger wing of the liberal Dems who are super-dissatisfied with what they perceive has him giving in to the right.
My problem isn't that we did something in Libya, is what we have done after. Our purpose has lacked directions.

You wrote two papers on party leadership? What was that like?
