In reply to the discussion: What grade would you give to Obama's first term? [View all]cbdo2007
(9,213 posts)77. Anyone who didn't choose B or higher - the problem is with YOU, not with the President.
No offense really, but if you look at how much the President has accomplished from where he started, it's miraculous how far we've come in the past 3 years. Especially in relation to how other President's have done in our lifetimes.
If you can't see that, then you have unrealistic expectations of what the President is capable of and what his duties are as President.
President Obama is on track to be the greatest President of our lifetimes but I understand that most people like that aren't recognized until well after their accomplishments are fully realized.

Oh my dear sweet Lord, sir. I agree with you not only on the grade, but on the rationale, as well.

There are so many issues involved with his Presidency that I don't know how to grade him.

Escalating an unneeded deadly war should immediately drop EVERY DEMOCRATIC grade to a C. n/t
