I always have fun.
I hope you enjoy claiming that Obama has reduced the deficit, because I think that's ****ing hilarious.
....that's why I said Republocrat.
Expelled.What grade would you give Obama?
Just curiously asking.
LOL...are you serious? Obama has gone out of his way to include Republican Ideas and the Party of NO even votes against their own ideas. They have one agenda and one agenda only....oppose everything, refuse to cooperate or negotiate on anything. Why do you think they have become to be known as the Party of NO? They have no ideas of their own anymore.
C-. He had the opportunity to make some real progress when he had the supermajority and he blew it. Also his record on civil liberties is no better than Bush II's.
Barack Obama had his chances with a Super Majority, and he did not deliver.
There was never a Super Majority.
Independents are not Democrats. And one of the 2 Independents despised Obama and gave him hell.
Then Kennedy died and it was not even close.
If we had ever had a Super Majority we would have Universal Health Care for all Americans.

I respect and agree with the rest of your post.
I apologize, I misspoke, what I meant to get across is that he had control of both houses.
These are my thoughts:
As the first African American president I felt he was in a unique position to influence race/culture/America in a positive way. I don't feel that he did. I feel like we are more divided now than we were before and he has made comments that either did not help or has made things worse.
Instead of trying to work with opposition to accomplish meaningful change, he has tried to strong arm them and it has backfired.
I give him a C.
No the Republican Party isn't the Party of NO, the Democratic Party is the Party of Yes. Democrats remind me of Oprah sometimes. "You get a sponsor, you get a sponsor and you and you and you!"
If Republicans and Libertarians seem like they are saying no all the time, maybe that has something to do with the quality of the bills being put in front of them. Just some food for thought...
What grade would you give Obama?

What are you talking about. Republicans are even saying NO to their own ideas.....
c+ based on his foreign policy which has been overall passive and has seemed reluctant to make descions regarding foreign policy. Looking to try and pull out of Afghan though and hasn't invaded any other countries so thats a positive.

I still don't believe Obama can name all 57 states, let alone run the country.
