An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
I Must Have Missed Something
Was I asleep when the unemployment rate went below 5%? Or perhaps the war in Afghanistan was declared a victory? Was there a complete turn around in the economy and no one told me? Did Washington finally come clean and admit they are full of male bovine excrement, and are as useless as teats on a boar?
President Obama Gives Himself A B-plus Grade
President Barack Obama, in an interview that aired Sunday, gave himself “a good solid B-plus” grade for his first year in office.
Speaking with fellow Chicagoan Oprah Winfrey, the president claimed progress on economic and international fronts.
Obama said the only thing that stands in the way of giving himself a better grade is the fact that some elements of his agenda – health care reform and putting more Americans to work – remain undone.
“The biggest burden on me right now is that economic growth has happened, but job growth has not happened,” Obama told Winfrey on the ABC special.
On the plus side, Obama said, “We are on our way out of Iraq.” And, he added, “I think we’ve got the best possible plan for Afghanistan.”
No doubt about it. I’ve stepped into a parallel universe where we actually have a leader in the White House, and all is well with the world.
As Spencer Hughes said, “I’d Hate To See What a “D” Looks Like“!
I challenge defenders of the President’s high self imposed grade to SHOW me what he has done exactly to deserve it.
I’m waiting…If you can’t answer off the cuff, I am on the radio for 10 hours a week. You are more than welcome to share the myriad of things on your list then.
In the meantime, it looks like the American people are the only real ones able to grade the President.
And they just gave him the worst first year ratings of any President in history.
This is one report card that I wouldn’t be running home to mom and dad to boast about.
There was a time when I didn’t believe anyone could ever top Jimmah Cartah as the worst president in my lifetime. I was wrong. Cartah is now the second worst.
