Grade Obama's First Year in Office

CBS News Online ^ | 31 Aug 2010 | CBS NEWS

With President Obama completing his first year in office this week, we are giving you the chance to weigh in on how you think he has done on the job.

Below are 10 categories for you to give the president your grade (in A-F format), including an overall grade at the end.

[grace522]

No, I'm not kidding. Fire away!

[Viking2002]

I couldn't vote. 'Two feet lower than whale dung' wasn't an option in the poll.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

“F” as in “FYBO”

I would grade Obama, but there’s no “Z minus” score.

[screaminsunshine]

A+ if you are a communist.

[domenad]

Grade it? GRADE IT? If a kid performed in a classroom on a level analogous to President Obama, I lure him into a soft room with Skittles, lock the door, and have him eke out the rest of his days eating food shoved through a hole in the wall and crapping into a bucket.

[combat_boots]

He’s not IN his 1st year. Is this a retrospective?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

LOL! You always nail it, Viking! ;-)

[grace522]

There is an actual poll. Go vote.

[grace522]

There is an actual poll. Go vote.

[Roscoe Karns]

[Jane Long]

It’d dated Jan. 21, 2010. Hmmmmm?

[ConorMacNessa]

I'd give him an "M" for Manchurian Candidate. Or maybe a "Q" for Quisling.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[caseinpoint]

Why are you posting a eight-month-old survey question?

FUBO!!!

[grace522]

Doh! Disregard....disregard....my bad. It was sent to me in an e-mail. I’m a dope! Sorry.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

:-)

[TommyDale]

I am shocked that See BS is even reporting results....Obama isn’t doing too well. He should resign now.

[gusopol3]

With President Obama completing his first year in office this week,

Time- wise I'm in a parallel universe, but Obama is still President; how tragic is that?

[Doogle]

I think this poll has been around for months now....the fact that you can vote multiple times sorta makes it useless...I doubt anyone is taking any notice....

[Tzimisce]

I don’t grade this type of stuff, I just bury it.

[3boysdad]

I just voted - to keep the “freep this poll” spirit alive in me - and I gotta tell ya, currently it's all overwhelming “F”’s thus far.

[mia]

It felt good giving him all F’s even if the poll was 8 months old. : )

[DesertRhino]

Once again,,, why our imaginary grades for him? Id just like to see the real ones on his transcript.

[Principled]

omg EVERY single characteristic is given an F.

color me surprised... CBS poll????

[SERKIT]

Arrogance: A
Condescension: A
Implementation of Marxist Principles: A
Completion of the Book Report for "Rules for Radicals": A
Perfection of the Hillary Cackle when nervously answering questions: C
Truthfulness in his resume': F

Overall: I (Incomplete)

I hope this is a teachable moment for the college instructor.

[Right Wingnut 2]

This poll is 8 months old. I effed him along time ago.

[Viking2002]

OK, I tried. I got a pop-up that said:

'This server has detected that you have a tab open in your Firefox browser displaying inappropriate content from the web site Free Republic. You have been determined to be a homo-Islamophobic white bigot and your I.P. address has been reported to the Department of Homeland Security for further investigation and punitive action.'

Someone's gonna owe me a few dozen rounds of ammo if I get a knock at my door.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.

Is it January 19 again?

[Mobties]

“I am shocked that See BS is even reporting results “

I’m shocked they’ve left this January poll on line and active more than eight months since it was put up by CBS.

Maybe they don’t know how to take it down.

[wetgundog]

A BIG F’n F

like in FUBO

Don't look to good for Obeyme...

NOTE: This is not a scientific poll. The results above are for information purposes only, and should not be confused with the results of the scientific polls conducted by CBS News.

[Starboard]

Thanks for the direct link. Their boy isn’t faring well. 85% rate President Acorn as either a D or F.

[TommyDale]

Maybe the results cost the webmaster his job.

[DefeatCorruption]

THIS IS AN OLD POLL.

[reagan_fanatic]

Wow - Zero’s really getting hammered.

Where’s the ‘should Obama be impeached’ button?

[garjog]

[jakerobins]

Like he used to vote in the Senate...he gets a Present...Didn’t do the work...he just filled a seat...

[MonicaG]

What do you mean his First year? This is like some endless nightmare.

[tx_eggman]

You want a grade? Here ya go ...

[mrsmith]

His year needs 'grading' all right.

[Grams A]

I am sure I am going to catch a whole lot of flak for posting this guy’s comments, but this is one of the best I have seen. So here goes!

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

We don’t like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we’ll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. We’ll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.

We’ll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens. We’ll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO’s and rednecks. We’ll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.

You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we’ll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we’ll help provide them security.

We’ll keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

We’ll keep the SUV’s, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.

You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We’ll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right. We’ll keep “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “The National Anthem.” I’m sure you’ll be happy to substitute “Imagine”, “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing”, “Kum Ba Ya” or “We Are the World”.

We’ll practice trickle down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.

Since it often so offends you, we’ll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I’ll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American

P. S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Barbara Streisand, & Jane Fonda with you.

P. S. S. And you won’t have to press 1 for English when you call our country.
