On her Christmas in Washington special on ABC last night, Oprah Winfrey asked President Obama to grade himself.
"Good, solid B-plus," the president said.
Explaining, he said, "we have inherited the biggest set of challenges of any president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
"We stabilized the economy, and prevented possibilities of a Great Depression or a significant financial meltdown. The economy is growing again.
"We are on our way out of Iraq. I think we've got the best possible plan for Afghanistan.
"We have reset our image around the world.
"We have achieved an international consensus around the need for Iran and North Korea to disable their nuclear weapons.
"And I think that we're going to pass the most significant piece of social legislation since Social Security,and that's health insurance for every American," he concluded.
Pressed by Oprah as to why only a B-plus, the president said, "B-plus because of the things that are undone. Health care is not yet signed. If I get health care passed we tip into A-minus."
What grade would you give him and why?
I wonder how that compares to his college GPA?
B for Blockhead!
The guy is dilusional.
F for fister
I grade him as an “F” for FAILED!AWB
Hey 0bammy, you don't get an "affirmative action" boost like in college - if you're a solid anything, it's an F.
More evidence of “grade inflation”. People seem to think “B” means average, which used to be “C” so far as I remember. “B+” means just short of excellent (”A” being excellent). Obama, though, probably intends to be humble by saying he’s above average, in which case it should be “C+” instead of “B+”. Or perhaps he’s delusional and thinks he deserves to be just short of excellence.
A+ for being a lazy slacker that goes on vacation more than he takes a s...
The idea that HE made the Afghanistan decision...he sure is no expert on war...someone made the decision for him.
Professors Cloward and Piven give him an A.
Benjamin Franklin (A republic if you can keep it) gives him an F.
All depends on your grading criteria. If destroying the republic is a good thing, he’s done well. If trashing 230 years of being the Shining City on the Hill, he’s the worst ever.
Does he have a drinking problem like Michelle because that is the only way to understand this?
Barack Obama just told Oprah Winfrey that he deserves to get a “good, solid B-plus” for first year as President. He also claimed that Bo, the White House dog, ate the economy.

My, my....grade inflation has now made it’s way to the White House.
LOL!
Such sickness, and its in our Oval Office.
“B” for Bonehead, Bungling Boob, Butthead and Michelles Bee-otch!
Yes. His false humility dictated that he give himself the diminutive B+.
