Can Obama Do This?  

I honestly don't understand Obama...and I don't know how we as a country elected him. I don't think anything is much better...and why is he concentrating so hard on the healthcare when there is so much termoil...we need to concentrate on the economy first...Why are we getting more and more in debt as a country? How many trillions of dollars has he allocated in the year since he's been in office that we don't have. Granted I'm only in my 20's but my grandparents and parents both say that my grandkids will be paying for all of the troubles that we've been having and it's only gotten worse this past year.

Yeah, because giving himself an A woulda just been too vain.

One thing this guy has never lacked is self confidence.

He still has a lot of fans, but nobody loves Barack Obama more than Barack Obama.

There's nothing quite like having another self-congratulating politician in the White House.

He definitely wouldn't give himself a failing grade. He wouldn't say C because that is considered average. B wouldn't be high enough to suit his vanity and A would cause everyone to accuse him of having a big ego. He settled on B+ as being almost perfect in every way, like Mary Poppins. In truth, he would have liked to give himself an A+ because he thinks he's better than perfect.

I tried that with a few teachers of mine, I wrote a b+ on a test when I handed it in.....still only got a c- on it though.

Can Obama grade himself when asked how he thinks he's doing? Sure! We can disagree with him though!

Well Pres Obama looks like he understands he must do better.

If he was to say he was a....AAA, then I would worry, But to be able to say I am a B+
That fits OK with me, as I see he will try to better himself.

I will not comment on Obama because he is not my president. What I would like to comment on is the issue of people expecting problems that were developed over several years to be rectified in just one. Did it ever occur to the people of america that maybe it's their lifestyle that put the country in its current situation? From what I have seen a significant part of the culture is based on credit, which is spending money you do just do not have, it was bound to have negative effects in the long run.

Another question is, can anyone guarantee that a candidate other than your current president would've done a better job?

It is a pity that Obama inherited a dying economy but some analyst say that the steps he has taken has prevented the economy from deep recession. It took 8 yrs for the economy to become this bad and it would not improve overnight. give the guy a chance, he is working hard.

Are you guys aware about the American Recovery Act 0f 2009? That is the program from the Obama government concerning the upliftment of the economy. It is a full package about job saving and creation,tax cut, infrastructure, healthcare and many more. Check it out to understand the wisdom behind the law, with it I hope it will clear up things.
