Does he generally make this up along the way , I Mean i Respect the fact that he ran for president and won but does he really have to lie about the future? i mean anyone with a brain can tell that he isn’t keeping these ago , Sadly i think we should have picked mccain and as for people who chose obama and now hate the fact he is in office , What is wrong with you? , Did you pick him out of race or did you pick him out of his real abilitys?!?! , We made a mistake and now all we can do is rely he might by a slight chance do what he promised

That he would grade himself at all indicates that he still sees himself in school protected by an illusionary cloak of academic meritocracy. Meanwhile in the real world, we remain in a war where there are more suicides of our own soldiers then those felled by bullets of the enemy. And he surrounds himself with the very financial gangsters who placed us in this mess to begin with. But for a puppet of special interests not that bad.

Bashing and bias aside- by grading his body of work (or lack there of) a B-plus, Obama is basically saying things are significantly better and there isn’t much more he can do for a straight A.
Now be honest with yourself. Are things significantly better? Is there much room for improvement?
Now if only Obama would be honest with himself.

Do you think that the President was grading himself on the curve? Maybe the idea is to throw out the lowest scores (say on promises delivered relative to promises made and thought about) and then adjusted the final grade?
A couple of things that he might have been thinking about when he tallied the score. A few were obviously thrown out as needing real improvement -
1. Pizza and Beer parties between the Cops and angry Academics. High grade on this one.
2. Executive pitch for the Olympics.
This one gets a very low grade.
3. First State Dinner. The Beer and Pizza party wen a lot better.
4. Traveling pretty much everywhere whether he needs to go or not. High marks on this one.
5. Czar selection. Another tough one to give thumbs up.
6. Transparency. Well he did open up the Visitors log at the White House.
7. Bipartisanship. He has his guys work Olympia Snow on the Health Bill. A+
8. Dog selection. Banged this one out of the park.
9. Job creation through Stimulus Bill. Well, this one needed a little help so some of the guys made up some numbers – but, we know its working: Joe Biden says so. A+
10. Line by line review of every budget item. Well, he would have if he hadn’t been so rushed – the Government needed money or no one would get a pay check. He promises to do it one of these days. A+
11. Speeches in general. Again, banged this one out of the park – except that one at West Point; everyone was so tense and he was just not sure he wanted to give the speech in the first place. (Throw that speech out). Otherwise, high marks, even straighnt A’s.
12. Bragging that he save the US economy from the brink. Big marks across the board.
But – you know – he couldn’t have counted everything – she asked him so quick and he didn’t have time to put it altogether.

Obama rates an F on the economy as the
unemployment rate has soared to 10
percent in his first year and the
787 billion dollar “porkulous bill”
which was supposed to create millions
of jobs hasn’t worked!
He gets an F in foreign policy as his
lame attempts at talking Iran and North
Korea into giving up their nuclear
programs has been a failure.
Maybe he gets a D+ for finally
making a decision to send another
30,000 troops to Afganistan to support
the effort there and possibly turn the
war around.
D+ because the decision took too long
to make. How many brave soldiers died
while the president weighed the
political winds.
This president always tries to play
both sides against the middle instead of
just doing what’s right for the
country that’s why his overall
grade is an F!
