You "ace" the question by saying that you can't grade yourself. Historians do that. Other people do that.

You just "have your head down, trying to do the best you can for the American people, each and every day."

Oddly enough, Obama couldn't say that. He just gave himself a swell grade and let it go at that.

He probably went to a progressive school where the kids were allowed to grade their own papers.
