I decided to offer my analysis of the Obama Admin before his year is up….that way I cannot be accused of letting others influence my analysis…..my technique will be a percentage grade and a letter grade for the different categories and then an overall grade in the conclusion……
I know….I know….this is a bit early for a one year evaluation…but we bloggers have been blamed with just following the leader on many issues and I thought I would eliminate that accusation before someone had a chance to level it…..onward and upward!
Foreign Policy:
Diplomacy: 95%–because Obama is trying to turn the world away from the distaste for American policies–A+
War: 75%–because he ran and won on an anti-war rhetoric and he has done little to end these conflicts. He has set a couple of deadlines for troop removal….a promising turn–C
Economy:
Stimulus: 90%–because he helped stop the economic skid into oblivion…..B+
Jobs: 65%–because there has been lots of lip service..no action….F
Domestic:
This category will cover everything from education to energy to ……well use your imagination…..75%–because little has been done to improve the lives of American citizens….C
Legislative:
50%–he has NOT done what he was sent to Washington to be…the leader…if he cannot get an issue passed even when he has a 60 vote majority in the Senate …then he has failed….F
Approval of the American people: 70%–because he has helped Wall Street become MORE profitable than before the crash and Main Street less profitable…..he is not holding the approval of the people……D
Finally…there is EFFORT……Obama has tried to tackle as many issues as he could….because of that effort I give him 95%…..A
Now for Pres. Obama’s score for his first year as president…….he plays well with others…..participation needs work….needs to be more assertive……his score total is 80% or educational terms ….a C+!
In his inauguration OBama said, “Change has come to America” and that was the truth…but the only change that has come is that there is not some white dude in the Oval Office……
