Re: Obama's First Year You Rate

Hard to argue with these grades:

F -Job Creation
Obama Abandons "Saved or Created" Jobs Claims | The Foundry: Conservative Policy News.

F - Transparency of Health Care Legislation: After promising live coverage of the legislation process on C-SPAN the President; 1) The final Senate bill was written in secret. 2) To secure passage, the 58 Democratic senators and two independents hashed everything out behind closed doors - without staff at one time. 3) The administration committed to more than a billion dollars in earmarks in hopes of securing the 60 votes needed to pass.

F - Crap & Trade Proposal
If passed into law, a projected loss of over 1M jobs and a minimum of a 15% cut in emissions that would cost the average household in the bottom income quintile about 3.3% of its after-tax income every year.

F - Fuzzy (to say the least) math on job creation numbers. An $ 890.00 contract does not create 9 jobs
Recipient Project Summary

F - WMD Preparation
FOXNews.com - White House Disputes Report Giving Obama Failing Grade on WMD Preparation

F - 2009 Congressional Effectiveness
President Obama's 2009 Congressional Effectiveness Grade F+

"President Obama submitted his first budget, a $3.6 trillion blueprint, to Congress that increased spending by $1 trillion over the next decade. The year ended with about a $1.4 trillion deficit and a $12 trillion in total national debt. Obama gets a flat F for the fact that this administration has done nothing to lower government spending that was too high during the Bush years and seemed to accelerate month by month with the new administration."

However he does get the following good grade:
A - Mobilizing Conservatives

"Obama gets and A+ for helping to do what so many conservative leaders have failed to do over the past 20 years, organize a divergent movement around the idea of limited government, a balanced budget, no more bailouts, we the people being allowed to participate in government, low taxes and a respect for free market capitalism."

A - Scott Brown win in MA, taking over "Teddy Kennedy's" seat.


But don't take just my word for it, here's a link to a CBS poll on Obama's first year job perfromance. Put in your grades and submit and you'll get the numbers of how folks responding feel. The poll has been up for over a week.
