Obama gave himself a B+ for his first year in office. I could only imagine then that a C would be the complete collapse of America, a D would be the entire world getting nuked, and an F would be the destruction of the universe. Anyway, it’s nice to know Obama is really pushing himself if he considers his craptacular first year a B+.
I would grade him differently, though. Here’s how I break it down:
Being Able to Spend America’s Money in a Somewhat Rational Manner: F
Understanding Basic Principle that Spending More Money Increases Debt: F
Not Bowing to Everyone: F
Hiring People for His Administration Who Aren’t Radical Freaks That No Sane Man Would Have Any Dealings With: F
Not Getting Head Stuck in a Bucket: F
Presenting Image of a President Who Knows What He’s Doing and Isn’t Just Randomly Flailing Around: F
Having Normal Looking Ears: F
Tackling the Issues Important to Americans and Not Just His Pet Projects: F
Refraining from Using the Constitution as Toilet Paper: F
Not Giving Terrorists Big Public Platform: F
Tackling What to Do with Afghanistan Right Away and Not Spending a Lot of Time Instead Getting a Manicure or Whatever: F
Not Putting Being Popular Around the World Above Actually Accomplishing Things: F
Stopping Iran from Building Nukes… Or At Least Slowing them Down: F
Not Spending Trillions of Dollars in a Completely Pointless Way and Labeling It “Stimulus”: F
Paying Attention to the Wars and the Economy Instead of Trying to Overhaul a Large Segment of the Economy: F
Being Able to Tell a Window from a Door and Not Walking into Them: F
Not Squandering Public Approval in Record Time: F
Overall Grade: D+ (it’s graded on a curve)
So how do you rate Obama’s first year?
