What grade would you give to Obama's first term?

Note this poll will close in 24 hours.

In full disclosure, my grade was C -.

I didn't list a "D" grade because of being limited to 10 choices.

77. Anyone who didn't choose B or higher - the problem is with YOU, not with the President.

No offense really, but if you look at how much the President has accomplished from where he started, it's miraculous how far we've come in the past 3 years. Especially in relation to how other President's have done in our lifetimes.

If you can't see that, then you have unrealistic expectations of what the President is capable of and what his duties are as President.

President Obama is on track to be the greatest President of our lifetimes but I understand that most people like that aren't recognized until well after their accomplishments are fully realized.

Holy crap this is nuts, look at how far we have come in the past 3 years, yeah unemployment is still up, gas prices through the roof, no longer have a tripple (shout out to Nads) A credit rating, anyone who thinks there has been an ounce of progress is insane.

I forgot to add, $kimmer must have received enough $42 donations to allow them to have polls now.  :rotf:

I find it hilarious that in all the time it took them to set up DU version 3, it took months to set up the poll option.

If I were to give him a grade, he'd have to be set back a couple of years. :-)

So I wonder how the grading curve changes if Obamacare in total, or at least the mandate goes down?

What about the DOJs challenge S.B. 1070?
