Rating Obama

So I guess this is the time of year where President Obama is going to be rated on his first year. I guess I will do the same.

Where he gets good grades:

International. The nightmare policies that were done by the idiot Bush are a thing of the pass. Thank god. Obama is trying to erase the idiot's crap ideas like torture, holding people without trials for as long as they want and the things that made us the most hated nation in the world. Grade B

Domestic:
Stock Market. Grade: A. He turned around that aspect of the economy. His policies worked it unlike the previous 2 administrations that killed regulation which never works when you de-regulate something cause companies won't police themselves.

Jobs. Grade: C. We are in a crisis. Again due to a major part of the last administration it is still up to Obama to fix the mess he inherited. I won't say he failed but he sure hasn't improved anything.

Gas Prices. Grade: D. I always attacked Bush for hi gas prices and I don't say that enough about Presdient Obama. What happened to that windfall profits tax on the oil companies? Why are we also not hearing from the media about the profits from the oil companies like we did under Bush.

Control over congress and senate. Grade: D. Democrats have the majority but don't act like it. In fact we act like children. As much as Bush is an idiot when he had both the House and the Senate they followed him to the point where we are now. Obama has no control.

Overall my grade for the first year for President Obama would be C+. There is room for improvement but he inherited a huge mess from the previous administration.

About Last Night

So what we are going to hear about the election last night from the right-wing media is how it was a vote against President Obama. If you look at the exit polls that I saw last night on ALL the channels is that will be a lie. The exit polls indicated that 57 % in Virginia said Obama had NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR VOTE and that number was 60% in New Jersey. If you look at Virginia especially historically whatever party is in power in the White House they pick the oposite in the Gov.

What you won't hear from the Right Wing media is about the New York 23 congressional seat being taken by a Democrat for the first time since the Civil War. You won't hear about California 10th which was won by a Democrat for the first time in years as well. Especially NY 23rd though where Republicans started booting out moderates to vote for the "conservative" party candidate. It just shows the infighting involved in the Republican party right now.

However I will say this should serve as a wake up call for Democrats in one sense that they should not take 2010 lightly because you know the Republican nut jobs will be in force supporting the most extremest candidates out there. Be careful.
