Presidential grade of approval

  If I could have voted during the 2008 election. I would have voted for Obama and the Democrats. Granted, Obama hasn't exactly walked the walk on a lot of policies, but, if I could do it again, I would still vote for president Obama. I think that what he has done in the past couple of years is not exactly revolutionary, but, he has kept his fair share of promises. Personally, I feel like Obama came in with too many promises and ended up with a "snakes on a plane" situation. Even though he makes several helpful decisions,  Obama will be seen as  a failure because of the over-hyping that he made for himself. Overall, I'd give Obama a c+ overall for his administration so far. Obama's supposedly major economic package hasn't really created many jobs and overall, the economy hasn't improved. When it comes to healthcare, Obama did deliver his promise on govt. healthcare, so, I guess he did impress there. Concerning the war on terror, he hasn't really stayed to his promises. Many troops still remain in the war and the military budget is still just as big as it was last year.But, Obama has struck a major symbolic victory with Bin Laden's death. Finally, Obama has a very,very solid reelection bid, with chaos in the republican house and no clear candidate, it seems that the republicans will just splinter off, like they did in 2008.
