Obama's Report Card

After the first year of his Presidency it is definitely true that the populace has begun to turn against him. And I for one disagree with almost all of his policies. However this is not how we should rate a President. The President of the United States should be judged on his effectiveness, his ability to make his policies popular. In that regard I give Obama a C. I think that he is an average President, he has not, while in office, rallied the public behind health care, he was able to get the stimulus package through, which many Americans liked when he supported it and many are now running from it. We have had some economic recovery, but as a recent AP story reported the difference between districts and areas receiving government aid and those that did not was statistically in significant. And when you look at it Obama has not done much as President thus far. But overall he has been ineffective in conveying why is policies are the way to go.
