That this President hasn't delivered on everything he promised during the 2008 election.
The Living Room Candidate - Commercials - 2008 - Defining Moment
He has delivered some things but the report card is not straight A's. Far from it. The "mindless partisanship" is still here on both sides. Special interests are as present as ever. The "middle class rescue" mentioned in the commercial's first 10 seconds has been, in fact, non existent.
The question is whether or not Mr. Obama has enough A's to receive a passing GPA. I think yes for the most part.
Not only is the Mindless Partisanship still here. It's worse, and Obama has Helped make it worse. He is perhaps the most Political, Partisan President we have ever had.
It had a good laugh this week when he sent his People out to claim he was not campaigning more than 5% of the time. The man is always campaigning, Everything he does is calculated. Just like his little "reducing the size of Government" Dog and pony show today. He doesn't mean it, He wont do it, he just wants people to think he cares about smaller government, because he knows that is a very popular idea right now.
MCCONNELL: We need to be honest with the public. This election is about them, not us. And we need to treat this election as the first step in retaking the government. We need to say to everyone on Election Day, Those of you who helped make this a good day, you need to go out and help us finish the job.
NATIONAL JOURNAL: Whats the job?
MCCONNELL: The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.

Dubious is it that the initiative came out in an election year. I'll grant you that. However since you brought up the politics of it, isn't it Mitch McConnell that said the goal was to make him a 1 term President. Here is the quote:

If that is whom you are working with....you can't blame the partisanship on Mr. Obama solely. If you try to make such an argument....well, you're full of it.

*Obama* will make this about himself...and Class warfare. he's already been on this road since he was immacculated.
HE doesn't care a wit of this Republic...only destroying it.

Given the scope of the disaster left by a conservative president...I'd give him an "A".
The damage done by Bush II was far and away some of the worst cards that could have been dealt to an incoming President. But unlike a poker player, Obama knew what cards were being dealt.

You won't get any conservative to admit fault.
They will:
A. Minimalize it (SEE Romney)
B. Jettison Bush.
C. Double down on it.

Passing GPA? Please explain. I believe a stronger argument can be made for the oppositie.

A GPA of higher than the customary 2.5 on a scale of 4.0.
Points for promising and passing landmark healthcare legislation. Points for getting us out of Iraq and saving American servicemen and women's lives that were being sacrificed for far too long (under both his and GWB's administration) for no tangible gain. Points for saving the auto industry.
No points for not doing anything about the gridlock, the lobbyists still largely running the Government, the handling of the stimulus which was abysmal in my view.
Partial credit for admitting there is global warming then doing very little really to decrease our reliance on foreign oil, placing that idiotic moratorium on drilling in the Gulf because of one very serious disaster but as disasters tend to go...they are random in nature. Still I understand why he did it but c'mon... Partial credit for his handling of the job. This could go either way really but he seems to be as much tied to the bubble as Bush was. This is confirmed by the recent book. I want my President to be much more visible than he has been.
He promised, above all else, change. It has largely been business as usual.
The man is always campaigning, Everything he does is calculated. Just like his little "reducing the size of Government" Dog and pony show today.
Of course he has not delivered on all of his campaign promises. They are just campaign promises. That means they are statements regarding what he would like to see done.
Fuck......Romney just promised to balance the federal budget and repeal Obamacare. No chance in hell of either. He might want to do that, which is the litmus test for campaign promises. Get it?
That's sort of incorrect. I would ask what "Conservatives" have accomplished for the USA. Some Republicans, like Lincoln and Eisenhower, have done a great deal.
Conservatism is a selfish, self serving, reactionary, regressive and short sighted philosophy.
But some of the chicks are hot.
