2. Obama: A+; Reps C; Senate: C; Dems as a whole: D; Republicans: A+(they are doing what they do best)

Just wait we will all vote for Obama's second term.

The guy is a genius and he's doing what needs to be done. No drama, let the adrenaline run it's course.

I'm sure it won't kill us, but it sure feels like it now.

7. I'm less generous than the rest.

Must be because it is the end of the term where I teach, and I'm fed up with excuses...

D C F D F

I see no differences, other than purely partisan rhetoric, between the Senate, Democrats and Republicans alike, and the Republicans collectively. I see no effective difference between the Democrats as a whole and the White House, and neither has been even slightly effective. The earlier post that compared the "progress" on health care reform to a football game was brutally accurate. We started on thier 30 with a first down. Now it's third and long from our own 10.

A few lonely bright spots in the House keep this from being F's across the board.

8. I'm even less generous than you as I would give them all an F

By refusing to even discuss Medicare for All, they have all (with the exception of a few members of Congress) have been more concerned with protecting the health insurance companies and their campaign "contributions" than they have with seeing to it that all Americans have access to care.

10. I'm close to that, though in fairness, Obama and the

Senators rhetorically haven't killed reform quite yet.

[Skittles]

9. I really struggled with my C's

I'm horrified anyone would stick any A's in there

[branders seine]

11. Any "A" at all pretty much erases any credibility for the voter.

I struggle with my grades, because I really want to like Obama. On further reflection though, I doubt that he fully earned his D.

[Skittles]

12. it does indeed

to me an A means there's not much need for improvement and.....aw fuck, where do I even start? It's depressing.

[appamado amata padam]

24. F, D-, F, F, A

What grade would you give the president?

F

What grade would you give the House of Representatives?

D-

What grade would you give the Senate?

F

What grade would you give the Democrats?

F

What grade would you give the Republicans?

A ---- because they are getting their way.

[branders seine]

25. The report card so far:

Obama C
House C
Senate D
Dems D
Reps D


If Obama gets through this debacle with a "C" from a left-leaning audience like that here at DU, his Presidency perhaps will survive. The Dems as a whole, though, will lose ground if public, especially liberal, perception of their performance does not improve.
