Grades on other issues...
OTHER DOMESTIC ISSUES: B+
Obama gets credit for ending “don’t ask, don’t tell” and allowing gay men and lesbians to serve openly in our armed forces.
FOREIGN POLICY: B+
Obama brought troops home from Iraq and took out Osama bin Laden. He was superb in providing bold leadership in Libya, at a time when so many American experts were saying that the intervention wouldn’t work.
COMMUNICATION: F
A president’s central job is not policy wonk but national team captain. There Obama failed us. He has not made the case for his policies, nor has he comforted the nation as Franklin Roosevelt did in his fireside chats.

“ECONOMY: B “
Talk about grade inflation!
Obama says the problem is he hasn’t given enough speeches.
I’d give Kristoff an F for intelligence and and F- for common sense.
Way too generous
Since Obama’s messaging is framed almost entirely by a lapdog media, isn’t this guy indicting himself with that “F”?
Clearly Kristoff is demonstrating “the soft bigotry of low expectations” of a black president.
No way would he rate a white president with the same (lack of) performance in the same manner...
I think Obama did a great job of earning his degree in B.S.
Typical liberal mindset.If people disagree with you it must be because they don’t yet understand what you’re saying so you need to communicate the message differently,perhaps by lowering down the level of complexity. It never across in their mind the possibility that people understand completely what you’re saying. They just simply disagree or don’t like it.
Kristoff led a witchhunt against an innocent man, at least temporarily ruining his career (I don't know if he ever got back on track). Kristoff thought the guy was a bad guy because he had spent some time in Zimbabwe when it was still under white minority rule (he was there to give medical attention to black residents of the country if I remember correctly).
The Left will never admit that the 800,000+ jobs that were lost in Jan.’09 were caused by Obama’s inauguration. Business owners across the fruited plain realized that the most ignorant voters on the planet had voted into the Oval Office a Marxist who had no experience at running anything but his mouth.
They proceeded to fire everyone but their family as they hunkered down for the duration of this scourge of a presidency. We can expect NO improvement in their assessment of the economy if the same ignorant electorate returns him to office.
First, let's recognize the origins of the banking, housing, and financial market meltdowns that Obozo "fixed". Who was involved in changing the rules for lending? Who, as a Senator, lobbied hard for those rule changes which resulted in lax regulatory requirements for loans? Which two democrats were responsible for oversight of the financial institutions (Dodd) and Freddie Mack/Fannie Mae (Frank)?? The question that is rarely asked with respect to this part of the financial/economic meltdown is who was at the wheel, and who attempted to stop the meltdown, but was completely rebuffed by Dodd/Frank? Democrats took control of Congress (complete control) in Jan 2007, which is the starting point for the current economic crisis.
With respect to the auto industry, and Obozo "saving" it, Bull Spit. The problems encountered within the U.S. auto industry was self-imposed. Ford Motor Company recognized what was taking place with respect to entitlements in retirement contracts, and they acted before the problem got out of hand. Ford established a path to correct the problems. GMC and Chrysler elected to allow the UAW to run roughshod over the two companies, and they did nothing to address an inevitable economic collapse. The auto "bailout" has been a flop. The taxpayers have not been repaid, and the only reason GM has had increased auto sales is the Fed's are buying GM for their fleets of vehicles, making GM appear to have recovered. So, not only have taxpayers NOT recovered the bailout monies, but additional tax dollars are propping up GM, and probably Chrysler also. I cannot understand why there isn't someone pointing out these blatant lies being told by Obozo and the liberals who care about making We The People belong to the Government, and not about fixing anything they are responsible for breaking.
Evey single economic measurement is worse then it was when he took office, debt, income, energy costs, grocery costs, unemployment.
The only way you grade 0 over an F is if you ignore all facts.
