Creative grading the B+
If I could have graded myself I would have made the B honor role every time too. I don't think you should get a B+ when almost every one of your answers that you've turned in so far look like you copied them off of the guy in front of you. Everyone knows that George was a straight F student.

1. Even with all things he's done I don't like, I'd still give him a "B."
B+? Not with health care gutted, the Bush domestic spying/cover up agenda intact, and the war in Afghanistan being run by Bush holdovers.

11. So you're grading him based on the bar set by the Bush regime?
Real difficult to make that greade, eh? :eyes:
He should be graded quantitatively on progress towards fulfilling campaign promises. That's we elected him.

As long as The People continue to compare performance to the least common denominator... we'll get crap. Do you think, in the primaries, he would have been chosen if he (truthfully) said, "I'll be adopting/keeping several Bush policies and advisors?" I highly doubt Obama would be in that office if his platform was: "I'll be a little better than Bush"

12. I guess you're right...if he'd told the whole truth he'd have lost...
He's a damned sight better than Bush, but that don't mean we shouldn't try and see that we get the "Change" we were sold!

What's wrong with constructive criticism. It's Constitutional in America. It was against the law in Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany.

7. I hope you aren't actually a classroom teacher
Because your grading criteria seems a bit bizarre and arbitrary

6. Yeah, the B+ is crap
I'd give him an A- and once he completes one more assignment that goes up to a full A.
