I think he's done okay.
Reply
While I knew he was a Centrist - I thought he would diverge a BIT more from some of the Bush policies.
However, what I am disappointed most by ... was his travel outside the country while the Health Care Insurance Reform was winding it's way through Congress.
I think he should have remained in DC and worked to shove this through.
We've been talking and talking and talking about this issue for 30 years. We should have been ready to finally make the switch.
Speed was necessary before the Insurance Companies derailed the process ... and now ... I fear that's been lost.
But while I have my share of disappointments ... I am generally happy with the performance of his tenure. He's doing hard work to undo the effects of the WORST President in History ... and I can only imagine how HORRIBLE it would be if John McCain had become president instead.
One unexpected benefit that I'm seeing is reflected in the recent developments in frank discussions about racism.
Racism is a boil on America ... Racism has truly harmed our nation ... Racism is like someone pushing a stick into the spokes of a turning wheel .... it keeps our nation down.
The election of Barrack Hussein Obama has flushed out the racists and sent them into apoplectic fits.
This is an essential step in erraticating this perversity from our landscape.

Looks like on question #10 - Grade President Obama - his current average grade in most states seems to be a C minus. This is due to the large percentage of people who graded the President with a F (30 to 40%)in most states.
Reply
On question 10, I personally gave the President a grade of B minus which is down slightly from the grade 'B' that I gave him following his first 100 days in office. -

I don't agree with everything Obama has done. But overall he is doing OK.
Reply
Then you factor in the fact that he took over for the worst president in American history, inherited a messed up economy and a war that was based on lies. All that makes us realize that Obama is doing a pretty good job. -

I find it discouraging that our president has spent so much time outside the US when there are so many crucial issues to deal with at home. The banks have been bailed out, the auto industry has been bailed out, we, the taxpayers and, are paying people to get more fuel efficient vehicles. If the construction industry got moving everything else would fall into place. Small business is being crucified. Jobs transferred to foreign soil is a disgrace. Foreign aid is a disgrace when so many Americans are unemployed, homeless and going hungry. All of this stimulus was supposed to create jobs yet unemployment is still on the rise. What is being done for the everyday American that has worked all their life to provide for their family and is now destitute? Record profits for the banking industry does not provide jobs.

Taking jabs at the former administration does not alleviate the current administration of its responsibility to protect the American people. Where is the financial responsibility. How many sleepless nights do our representatives have over joblessness and fears of becoming homeless? What happened to government by the people and for the people. This seems like a government for the government.-

--Is Obama's travel unusual? How does it compare to other Presidents' travel? Were you "discouraged" when Bush broke vacation records? You people don't want to talk about Bush because you don't believe in accepting responsibility for your failure and poor judgment.

This concept that you have to "sneak" your agendas through before the public wakes up is bad politics. If it's worth doing, its worth doing right.
Reply
Forget cap and trade ... concentrate on fixing the economy, don't make it worse .... go for your health care program when the economy is stronger, unemployment is below 8% and everybody has more confidence in the future.
Quit threatening every industry. Instead, work with industry to work through the problems they face. Let capitalism work it's magic. Get out of the way when necessary. The country did fine without you for many many years. It will be fine after you're gone if you don't damage it. -

Obama gets an A for spending our money....spent more than anyone ever has.
Reply
Obama gets an A for traveling and taking his family for these expensive vacations on the taxpayers.
Obama gets an F for doing anything constructive that really helps the USA. He has done nothing and I believe that's exactly what he hoped to do. -

HE gets an F+. He did bailouts that failed, stimulous packages that failed, he got in the car business, the clunker program is a lead to forcing people into thhe car of the governments choice. Some of us need SUV's or minivans sorry about that. Healthcare reform- fine but let the insurers do that themselves. there's already medicare/medicaid and that's a mess so why would national healthcare be any different. It'd be an abyss of wasted money and less healthcare for the micropreemies, and less options for the elderly. Poor blacks, whites and indians would loose out again.

Second 100 days... Is train wreck a grade?
Reply
Economy, down, other than cars and overly costly inconsistent wind machines. Unemployment is well over 10% but the media is still reporting around 9%.
World view, he's insulted the Brits, French, Germans, Swiss, Poles, Czechs, Swedes, Fins, Italians, Spanish, Greek, Turks, and Israelis. He's bowed to Saudi royals, shakes hands with dictators and wants to talk with Iranian terrorists. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are turning in the wrong direction. He clearly isn't being advised. Talking advisers, in addition to all of the official Cabinet level positions, Obama created the new levels of Ministers, for some dumb reason they keep calling czars. No one exactly understands what or where they fit into the official structure of the government. No one understands why the "smartest" man in the world needs them but he's created a new level of government that has no accountability and no budget but some how we're finding a great deal of money to pay for all 44 new position.
If train wreck isn't a grade, then I'd have to say F-. If he doesn't change very soon, you're going to see Hillary resign as Sec.State and start campaigning. As much as I hate her, she would be a better president than this joker. -

We are being warned from every quarter that Obamacare will cost more than we can handle as a nation. Obama has already told the unions that he would like to eventually manipulate us into a one-payer system. He is bypassing things he could do to improve the existing system because he doesn't really care about our health. This bill is intended for as a power grab. Obama wants that particular seventh of the economy to become a government bureaucracy through which he can exercise control.

Does anyone suppose that a Republican will be able to rise to high position in an Obama-controlled medical system? He wants the medical profession to be politicized. He wants medical procurement to be run by his appointees, as is Government Motors.
Neither Obama nor some future Republican administration should run any more government than absolutely necessary-- national defense, basic property law, and not much else. We can't role back government to some Smithian ideal in anyone's lifetime but we can avoid making things worse.
Worse means the expansion of government power. A workable definition of fascism is absolutism of government power. Communism is not the opposite of Nazi-ism. It is the same thing.
