Grading Obama: First 100+ days of Obama

[DamnYankee]

A-

Phrases like, "laying the ground work," "setting the stage for an issue," "setting priorities," and "taking the temperature of people." are what Obama is doing. SIZE]

Well, I guess there are two things forgotten here. Both would be good reminders in Poly Sci 101. First, the issue is timing. In this case President Obama having the sense to know when to make a political move, and knowing how to set it up. Obama is running a country, and is in this for a win. 'Venting sour grapes' about the last election is all Conservative Republicans have. They always complain, and when they run out of complaints, they make things up.

Second, while the economy caused Americans to run around in desperation, Obama talked to the experts, laid out a plan that Congress approved, and did something. Except for a lot of talk the Repubs had nothing to offer.

If Republicans don't like it, tough. They lost the election. We should shove it down their throats the same way Bush pushed his agenda on America in 2000.

You need to work on your editing skills there. It look like you're talking to yourself! (I didn't say that first thing up there, BTW) No worries though.... It'll get there.

Look, don't make me smack you -- after that aknowledged, albeit useless, rep you bestowed upon me. Either quote the person you're thanking there in your response, or take the reference to me out of your response since it has nothing to do with me.

IT IS DISTRACTING!

There are morons of all stripes, and it's DISTRACTING when a perfectly good discussion is derailed by such nonsense.

I would give him an F- (if that's the lowest possible grade). Obama wouldn't make a pimple on a good President's butt. I could care less about his views on gays having the right to marry. I think that's just plain ignorant to start with. He has no concept of what he's doing. He has already flip-flopped on issues he stressed as a political candidate. He has lied about putting any bill he would sign into law on the internet for 5 days before he signed it. He's made a fool out of himself over the detainees in GITMO. Everybody complains about Bush being such a bad President and leaving such a large deficent behind when he left office but nobody seems to interested in talking about the money Obama has already spent. i.e., more than all of the previous Presidents in American history combined. He's turning America into a Socialist country and everybody seems to be trotting behing him like the Pied Piper. I forsee trouble on the horizon. Obama is really bad news... I will agree with him when he says that "Change" has come to America. Yep, and every bit of it has been bad.

So...you're suggesting that we grade on the curve now? Holy christ!!!! In other words, because he loused up, nobody could do better??? Kinda of presumptuous, don't you think? Who's to say that another person...any person...would have had a better approach to this economic implosion we're experiencing. Do you not realize that Chrysler is walking out on almost 800 dealers? In effect killing nearly 50,000 jobs in one fail swoop? And now, GM is skipping along behind them, prepared to do the same thing? HOW THE HELL IS THAT PROGRESS????

BILLIONS were wasted on those two companies alone and we were assured that their bailout would basically "SAVE" the auto industry from disaster. Well....ta da!!! Talk about a magic trick!!! He really pulled that furry lil' rabbit out of his hat didn't he?

No...this man is out of his comfort zone where the politics are concerned. Don't get me wrong...he's GREAT on the oral exam...just as long has it's an open book test and he can read the answers.

You should be greatful that you're getting the passing grades you're getting for this clown.

Limbaugh or no Limbaugh, he's not passing on many subject in my grade book. In other words, he's already failing as president.

No he deserves a better grading because he was the only one who came up with a solution, the other idiots (republicans) only stood by watched and said NO. They were probably thinking what Limbaugh said out loud "I hope he fails", so they could save their policies of failure for the next election.

Saving Chrysler and GM is progress in the sence that we re not destroying the whole economy, their failure would have kickstarted the 2nd great depression (depression is 10% unemployment or more). A price that is much lower then what would have been payed by all of us if we got into a great depression. You need to look at the big picture, not looking at the big picture is what got us into this mess (banks that are only looking for their own profits, while they are unaware that their greed has almost killed the moneycow they were milking) and it sure isn't going to get us out of this mess.

Again, I have to ask: How is it that you're grading a SOLUTION that hasn't yet worked?[/COLOR]

For the banking sector he already made results: the banks are raising private capital, something that would have been impossible a couple of months ago.

I agree that his plans for other issues (GM & Chrysler) still have to start to work/fail. But it is undeniable that the president and the FED had an input in the latest stock rally, a rally which could be the start of a global recovery (capital can give the banks the ability to create a way out of this banking crisis).

The question was on the grading of the SOLUTION. That final results of that "solution", as has been pointed out, have not as yet been determined -- which you have acknowledged by stating:
"It has started working."

Now, it you want a fair grade on "SOLUTION", at this point the best he could, objectively, be given is INCOMPLETE.

Wasn't TARP passed under the Bush Administration?

Yes it was passed under the Bush admin (as a part of the "Paulson Plan") in cooperation with the Obama "administration" (it was his unofficial administration), but the use of it was mostly for the Obama administration (as you may remember the bush admin was not so favorable for bailing out banks like Lehman Brothers or other private companies, the biggest reason for this was their own ideology)

Troubled Asset Relief Program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (real sources are at the bottom of the wiki article)

Remember the anger at AIG (also a company that had received a huge amount of TARP money)? Why do you think that people were pointing at Geithner (and not at Paulson or Bush)?

You can't possibly be serious.

First of all your basic argument here is that correlation equals causation, which just doesn't fly.

Secondly, the "rally" in the stock market has been in the context of a USD that has been inflated, therefore, as far as value is concerned, there's no net gain. And many lenders are only doing so by compulsion and because of promises to back those loans, should the default....which is a large part of what got us into this mess in the first place.
