Question of the Week 3

So I posted this before, but turns out that I didn't really understand the question so here is the revised version!

Health Care- Well I'll have to give obama a B+ on this one considering that he did get healthcare passed. This is something that many presidents have tried and failed at, and Obama finally did it. Unfortunately, it is a rather unpopular program so there is still work to be done. I support Obama, and I think that his healthcare plan is a good idea, but needs work.

Economy- Unfortunately, I'll have to give Obama a B- here. The unemployment rate is at an all-time low, and Obama's approval rating is also at an all time low. I give him credit for his effort, but he's just not delivering what the US needs. I think that his jobs plan and such are steps in the right direction, but he needs to go further.

War on Terror- From me Obama gets an A or A- on this one. The one big thing that he has going for him is the death of Osama bin Laden. It was probably one of the biggest hits on Terrorism that the US ever dealt, and it rid the world of one of the most dangerous leaders on the planet. We've also been handling situations in other countries decently (ie. Libya), so I think that Obama is doing pretty good here.

Reelection bid- I'm going to give Obama a B+ on his reelection bid. There are two reasons for this. One, he was not the nations worst president. His programs did work, and he did deliver on most of his promises, but then again he wasn't the best. He could have handled the economy much better than he did. Two, his opposition is rather divided. There are so many republican candidates that the entire party is split. I don't think that one candidate can get enough support from everyone to beat Obama.

I've been an Obama supporter from the start, and I think that given the circumstances, he's doing a pretty good job. Of course there is room for improvement, but he's not doing too bad.

  1. I think it is interesting to see people's opinions of Obama now, especially from his supporters/ex-supporters. I am an ex-supporter, mostly because of the broken promises.
