What Grade Do You Give President Obama for His First Year?

I give him an F+, not so much because I disagree with almost everything he stands for - like Forcing me to pay for health care or ruining any future the nation has with Cap-and-Tax - we knew that and the American people elected him so those things I expected and he has tried to deliver on them.

I give him an F because of all the other promises like TRANSPARENCY, was that just an absolute lie from the get go?

Blaming everything on Bush, I think that is so automatic now that he blames a sprained ankle on Bush - sorry, all presidents inherit an imperfect union.

Closing Gitmo - even though he said he would it was a bad idea and he is making it worse by having trials in NYC.

Birth Certificate - I am not a "birther" - the moron was elected, OK - but why not just release the real birth certificate and be done with it? WHY?

Appointments - he promised a cabinet that looks like America, does that mean we are all suppoesd to cheat on our taxes? And, Czars - these are scary, they weild awesome power and they are not even trotted by Congress for a cursory approval - I think they are blatantly unconstitutional (I know he didn't invent them, but he mass produced them!)

Corporate takeovers - the U. S. Government now owns auto manufacturers, Insurance companies, mortgagers, Freddie and Fannie - this is just insane, let those bastards fail and all of that CEO overpay will take care of itself! Again, he didn't invent it but he has taken it to ridiculous levels.

The only bright spot I see (the +) is that he didn't just yank troops out of Afghanistan - he seemed to actually take some time, look at the options and the consequences and decided to stay there and try something a little different that still accomplishes our goal - so I see a glimmer among all the absolute idiocy.
