Pat Robertson "Remarkably Pleased" With Obama, Gives Bush C- In an interview with CNN's Suzanne Malveaux, conservative Pat Robertson said he was "remarkably pleased" with President-elect Barack Obama. Not so for President Bush, who he blames for the economic crisis. On President Bush: ROBERTSON: Well, it's hard to assess blame, but I -- over the years -- I hate to be critical, I mean I am a Republican, and this is the president of the party that I'm a member of -- but I think we've had some serious goofs along the way. The Katrina matter was terrible. The rebuilding of Iraq has been terrible. The hailing (ph) of the economy right now has been terrible. It hasn't been handled in what I would consider a professional manner. MALVEAUX: How would you grade the president in light of all of the -- the laundry list that you just listed there? ROBERTSON: Well you know, history may accord him a higher grade than his contemporaries and I think he's hoping for that, and we are. But I believe I would look at about a C-minus right now if I were grading him. On President-elect Obama: MALVEAUX: Are you looking forward to an Obama administration? A change? ROBERTSON: I am remarkably pleased with Obama. I had grave misgivings about him. But so help me, he's come in forcefully, intelligently. He's picked a middle of the road cabinet. And so far, if he continues down this course, he has the makings of a great president. So, I'm very pleased so far.

What’s he smoking?
Senility.
Robertson is pleased with a Communist who supports infanticide........what a dolt!
What’s wrong with these guys? It sounds like there is something in it for them. What do they know that we don’t know?
You took the question right from my keyboard. Or one might ask: What are they paying him?
Middle of the road? Apparently Pat is worried about his tax-exempt status.
I think he may be expressing relief that Obama hasn’t appointed a bunch of new faces to high positions.
Obama is trying to “lull us to sleep.” Once Biden’s prediction comes through, is the time we’ll see his “change.”
Does Pat have dementia?
buzzard barf
Someone needs to witness to Pat Robertson,shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach Adonai
perhaps he would become a follower of the Christ.
The big problem is that evangelical fundamentalists will take his word for gospel.
I think what he meant to say was that it is time for him to retire
This man is an idiot. He needs to shut his hole. He does not speak for me. He either has no real grasp of how an economy as large as ours works, or he has some kind of senile dementia. Either way his opinion is invalid.
I’m pretty sure the Pope is not too pleased with HUSSEIN.
Makes me glad to be Catholic
Robertson already had begun losing his mind by 1988, when he was calling for a “Jubilee” to cancel all US debt. (Yeah, good luck ever borrowing again, no matter how dire the emergency.)
He’s been slipping further into mental dotage since.
Love the guy, has many great qualities, but best limited to sectarian matters, not political ones.
No we won’t.
yeah, c- is a little high, but he must grade on the curve.
