Grading Obama's First Year
 
Obama gave himself a B+ for his first year in office. I could only imagine then that a C would be the complete collapse of America, a D would be the entire world getting nuked, and an F would be the destruction of the universe. Anyway, it’s nice to know Obama is really pushing himself if he considers his craptacular first year a B+.

I would grade him differently, though. Here’s how I break it down:

Being Able to Spend America’s Money in a Somewhat Rational Manner: F

Understand Basic Principle that Spending More Money Increases Debt: F

Not Bowing to Everyone: F

Hiring People for His Administration Who Aren’t Radical Freaks that No Sane Man Would Have Any Dealings With: F

Not Getting Head Stuck in a Bucket: F

Presenting Image of a President Who Knows What He’s Doing and Isn’t Just Randomly Flailing Around: F

Having Normal Looking Ears: F

Tackling the Issues Important to Americans and Not Just His Pet Projects: F

Refraining from Using the Constitution as Toilet Paper: F

Not Giving Terrorists Big Public Platform: F

Tackling What to Do with Afghanistan Right Away and Not Spending a Lot of Time Instead Getting a Manicure or Whatever: F

Not Putting Being Popular Around the World Over Actually Accomplishing Things: F

Stopping Iran from Building Nukes… Or At Least Slowing them Down: F

Not Spending Trillions of Dollars in a Completely Pointless Way and Labeling It “Stimulus”: F

Paying Attention to the Wars and the Economy Instead of Trying to Overhaul a Large Segment of the Economy: F

Being Able to Tell a Window from a Door and Not Walking into Them: F

Not Squandering Public Approval in Record Time: F

Overall Grade: D+ (it’s graded on a curve)

So how do you rate Obama’s first year?

:lol: He should have spent another round in school.

I watched that last night, and spit my beer every where when he told her that after she asked him. Now, my wife is mad at me, cause the living room smells like beer. What a waste of a good beer. Thanks Obama. :D

I rate him a -F-. :lol:

At least his speeches don't sound like a second grader giving a book report and he can pronounce nuclear.

f150fella08 Dec 14, 2009 07:07 PM

i would rather have a president that cant give speeches, than one to drive the country straight into hell..

i also rate him all F's and total grade is an...F no curve here

ford norseman Dec 14, 2009 07:21 PM

Seriously guys? How is he driving the country straight into hell? He started off with a giant mess left by good 'ol GW. Do you really think that McCain and Palin would have done a better job?

Wow lets blame more crap on the last administration. Seriously when is what the last administration did not going to allow him to have a free pass?

F+ he gets the plus because we haven't been attacked since he has been in office. (not because of him but he gets it for free until it happens)

Djacobs28056 Dec 14, 2009 07:34 PM

Palin- YES McCain- not so much

I blame the media. I know more about Sarah Palin's campaign wardrobe then BO at the time of the election.

My grade on a letter scale AND curve would be F.

2 weeks into my Accounting 2 class, I had to quit blaming my previous instructor for my lacking. When are you Libs gonna quit blaming every stupid thing BO does on Bush?

That was by a "citizen" So in my book its not an attack on America, Yes he was a nut job but he wasn't al qaeda.

The financial system did not fall apart in Bush's terms, Country Wide was the first one to fall apart, after the "expansion" of home ownership ( changed to a right, not the privilege that it should be ). Let me try to think when that was....
When did the mad race for 125% mortgages start ?

Does not matter, they are not running the country. The majority of the country wanted change, they got it. He is the one leading the show ( and late night TV, and sucking up millions in prime time TV ad time, playing TV star, at least he got over that phase )

There is one topic the government should really get an F on, and I say government for a reason. He is from Chicago, none of these are his ideas, this is the DNC's agenda at work. There are way too many plates in the air. It was focus time this summer, and no focus was had. Immigration was left for next year, to make it look like focus was going on. Then add to the list, BS round tables with bankers, to make it look like something is going on. Too many plates, not enough focus.
He is paying back for the back room deals cut to get him on the ticket ( anyone recall how him and his "new best pal" the Secretary of State were at each others throats in the primaries ? )
I don't think any of this is his idea, this is the DNC at work. Anyone notice on the world wide apology tour, he did not excuse the US's actions with Cuba ? Who did that again....

Ok, this is going nowhere good, but I'm just too stubborn.
Am I a "Lib" because I voted for and support Obama? I am a truck driving, gun toting, bambi killing, red-blooded american. I don't claim allegiance to either party. I can think for myself. So, no I don't think I am a "Lib."

Don't blame the media for your lack of knowledge regarding Obama before the election. As a responsible voting american it is your duty to do the research and make an informed decision, not one based on what Fox news flashes across their screen.

And, what stupid things has Obama done exactly?

I don't think you wanna try this with me. Truth is, I was traveling by myself from January to August of the election year and I spent driving time on talk and news radio and my free time online studying. I believe I know more about what is going on then a blue collar truck driver who still believes that BO is doing a good job. WHY? Because I have a NCCDL Class A with Tanker endorsements and working on my Haz-mat endorsement. I am also a Junior in a Bachelors business degree. I'm 26 and some people call me the most political man they know.

BO is hiding his birth certificate. why? not because of citizenship, my guess would be because it might say that his race is WHITE or his religion is MUSLIM. He has spent alot of time with domestic terrorist and gives no reason why. He has signed this country into debt that it will NEVER pay back (assuming it continues upon it's course) he has had more rounds of gold in the Bush did in all 8 years. And worst of all, he continues to let even his own followers and voters and constiuents down. he his one big ass FAILURE.

Obama and his allies in Congress took what was a small bonfire and threw gasoline on it until it became a forest fire.

Have you noticed the plunging value of the dollar?
Have you noticed their push for "Cap & Trade" which will cripple our remaining manufacturing industries and hurt consumers?
Have you noticed he gave the nod to the EPA to declare carbon dioxide a 'pollutant', thus giving the EPA the ability to regulate just about all aspects of our economy?
Have you noticed their attempt to control the type, amount, and availability of health care?
Have you noticed that unemployment went up to a higher level than it would of been if they had not passed their 'stimulus' bill, based on their OWN projections?
Have you noticed the accelerated pace of nuclear weapons development by Iran since he took office?
Have you seen his attempts to indoctrinate our youth with his speech and presentation materials for school children?
Did you notice today that his congress is poised to seize control of ALL bodies of water in the entire nation?
