Grading The 'Professor'

CBS News, (Yeah, really) makes the mistake of actually giving a chance to the people of America to grade Obamas performance as Prez.

The results ain't pretty, folks.

  1. I just went and voted. THAT result wasn't pretty either. :p

    Hard to believe CBS would run a poll like this. Obama is getting clobbered by CBS's readers, who are not exactly the tea party bunch.

  2. You know what?
    I'm tired of it.
    Sidd is gone.
    Dances is back.

  3. Yay! I'm really glad, Dances. I've always loved that nick!

  4. "Your ass is toast around here, Sidd."

    After this long and ugly winter, I will be happy to have any portion of my anatomy toasty, eh?

  5. I pulled Obama's averages up. I gave him Cs and Ds, except for energy policy, which appears to be "actively plan on freezing in the dark", so I gave him an F there.

  6. "I gave him Cs and Ds"

    Why? At his very best, a 'D' is a generous grade.

  7. I see lady red agrees with me, Dances.

    I'm surprised that he got Fs in EVERYTHING, including overall grade.

  8. I actually gave him B's in Iraq, Afghanistan and Energy.

  14. I gave him all F's except for Afghanistan, where I gave him a D.

    I liked the note at the bottom of the results page that said "Do not confuse this with the scientific polls conducted by CBS News." Translated: "Don't pay any attention to this. We would rather you look at the polls we massage to make him look as good a possible."

  15. How do you give Obama a grade? He never shows up. He gets an "I" for incomplete.

    Hahaha! Good one.

    Like most good humor, it's also disconcertingly true.

  17. Ohhh, Aridog nailed that one!

    I would give him an F on Afghanistan. Because I'm particularly pissy about the ROE (which are stifling), the continued harassment of people who do their jobs (the Navy SEALS come to mind immediately), his hamstringing of intelligence agencies through continued witch hunts by AG Holder, and the fact that because he announced dates of leaving a lot of the people who were working with us before are now afraid to because they figure we'll leave them to the Taliban in a couple of years.

    He talks purty, though, when he has a teleprompter. So if there's a performing arts grade I'd give him a B.

    That record got him elected President, didn't it?

  19. OK, I just went back and gave him all FIs.

    (frickin' incomplete)

  20. Interesting results. He is 80-90% D or F in every category except IIRC Iraq or Afg (can't remember and closed the window).
    Overall performance, 90% of those polled gave him an F or a D.
    Whoah.
    I thought there were more pro-Obama people out there still. The people who voted "A" kinda gave me a giggle. Who ARE these people and do they live under rocks?
