Though he admitted that others might disagree with his assessment, President Barrack Obama gave his Administration a “solid B+” for its first year in office.
“Some of my critics are saying I’ve failed to deliver on the promises I made during the election,” Obama declared. “And yes, unemployment has gone higher than we expected. And yes, bankruptcies and foreclosures continue to plague the economy. And yes, the war in Afghanistan hasn’t gone well. And yes, terrorists seem to have been rejuvenated. And yes, a lot of people are marching in the streets to oppose my policies. But let’s not let these few setbacks obscure the positive accomplishments.”
“First, I did win the Nobel Prize in quicker time than any past US president,” Obama pointed out. “Second, with the collaboration of congress, I did boost government spending by more than a trillion dollars. To take just one small example of how this is benefiting our economy, for only $2 million we were able to weatherize seven homes in Texas.”
“And let’s not forget that, finally, heathcare reform has passed in congress,” Obama added. “While there are a few differences yet to be ironed out between the House and Senate versions, the thrust of both bills shifts control from an anarchic individualistic approach to a socially responsible one. Government will require everyone to purchase adequate insurance coverage. Individuals and families won’t have to try to figure out what coverage they need. There will be government standards specifying the coverage they need.”
“Further, the soaring costs of healthcare will be constrained by ending outlays on treatments that have a poor cost/benefit prognosis,” Obama concluded. “Scarce funds won’t be wasted on prolonging the lives and suffering of the terminally ill. The needs of the many will triumph over the selfish wants of the few.”

Did he really say that? For $2 mil you could probably BUILD seven homes in Texas.
