Obama Report Card

Am I happy with President Obama's Health Care reform stand? I give him a C+.

Am I happy with his stand on the BP oil spill? I give him a C.

Am I happy with his reform work on the banking industry? C+.

Am I happy with his work on Wall Street Reform? Another C.

What seems to be the problem?

Obama miscalculated the damage that Reagan's trickle down economics and Bush and Cheney's tax cut had done to our economic system, and promised more than he could achieve. He also underestimated the Blue Dog Democrats - they're really Dixiecrats - and the Republican ideology of "Yes we Can" destroy Obama's plans.

Overall, I give his work up until now a B-. I give him points for achieving whatever he has done. The political climate is ridiculous.

In case you haven't read, some of  the Gulf residents who are looking for his help on the BP oil spill and blame the administration for not doing more, are also saying he should not have a moratorium on deep drilling oil rigs, as they need the jobs. What about the Gulf fisherman? Don't they also need jobs?

If Obama he had more Democrats helping or more Republicans cooperating and achieved the same things I would give him an F. But he needs some help and his own party needs to get a backbone. If he gets help I'd like to see what he can accomplish. I believe he can work up to a B+.

You're very generous.
I give him a C on Health
Care.
F- on everything else.
That's an average of F
His problem is in his character. He is flawed. It allowed him to choose right wing Dems as part of his team. He ignored all the great minds who would have helped him succeed with the three big problems before him. He is a failed prez.

Mr Gee-
I feel that we need not an intellect, but a hand's on guy this time in. WE don't have a Harry S Truman, around any more. Mr. Obama. supports a lot of Muslim, and others country's but not the democratic countries. Also
I know he is a 1 term President.
It will take 5 years for the USA to get out the Ugly American label.
Now we found lot's of minerals in Afghanistan, we will exploit that country, get away from drugs they harvest.
'WHERE is THE BUCK STOPS HERE PRESIDENT"
LOUISIANNA, 911 , BUSH BLEW IT..
NOW OBAMA'S WILL BE BP OIL SPIL, ISRAEL, AND IRAN, IRAQ AND MORE...
THE USA IS NOW MOVING TOWARDS 3rd in the world... that's ok if we don't have to support all the rest who hate us!
