Obama to Oprah: I’d rate my first year as a B+
Snort-worthy, via the NY Daily News:
President Obama told Oprah Winfrey on Sunday night he gives himself a “good, solid B-plus” for his first 11 months in the Oval Office.
On what was billed as Oprah’s “White House Christmas Special,” Obama credited his administration with getting the economy on track, winding down the Iraq war and making the right call for a temporary surge in Afghanistan.
He also said America has “reset” its prestige in the world and made progress toward halting development of nuclear weapons in Iran and North Korea.
Passage of health care reform would boost his grade to an A-, he said. Until Americans get back to work, he said, “I can’t give myself the grade I’d like.”
Gateway Pundit wonders what kind of grading scale the President is operating off of:
After all… Obama and Democrats only tripled the national deficit in less than one year.
[...]
Obama increased the national debt to $12 Trillion.
And he nearly doubled the unemployment rate since the Bush years with his failed Stimulus Plan.
If his goal was to destroy the US economy then a B+ would fit.
And as JammieWearingFool correctly points out, Obama is nowhere near “halting progress” on North Korea’s and Iran’s respective nuke ambitions.
What with Obama’s tanking approval ratings, and the major slippage in support for him amongst Independents, I’d say our highly narcissistic President is sailing up Denial River on the issue of his first year “grade.” Then again, he’s probably using a very weighted scale in which to grade himself on, kinda like my chemistry teacher in high school did (+30) when she realized over half the class had done poorly on the first semester chemistry exam.
Either that, or he’s “massaging the numbers” a la ClimateGate. Hey, whatever makes him feel better, I guess.

Unprecedented cluelessness!
Obviously, He’s using the Howard Zinn Grading Curve.
His teachers at Columbia and Harvard must have allowed similar ‘self grading’. No wonder he does not allow his transcripts or college papers to be released.
I do believe that’s the first grade he’s ever made public. Will wonders never cease?
Rating his performance relative to what it is he’s trying to achieve, I would say that “C” would be a fair grade given that he’s got the country about 3/4 screwed up. Passage of health care reform and cap and trade would justify his self rating of “A” since it would put us about 90% down the road to ruin.
I hope he fails. I hope the good guys win.
What else could one expect from our first affirmative action student president. He knows just enough to be really dangerous, and POTUS is not a good position to be in when one can be really dangerous.
He was taught that the correct answer is totally meaningless – it’s how one feels about oneself that actually counts.
As opposed to us dinosaurs that believe that it doesn’t make any difference how good one feels about oneself if they cost their employer – they’ll still get canned in the real world.
And it’s time to start the process to get him canned for costing our country worldwide status (not that it matters to most of us, but that does seem to be important to the jackasses), enormous amounts of money, and encouraging a growing amount of loss of freedom.
Man, that has to be one heckuva generous curve he’s using.
LOL….saw him on 60 Minutes,too. He seemed a bit uncomfortable with some of the questioning and did seem to hold back the giggles at some of the followup questions. I guess he expects CBS to fawn over him not question him….after all what are interviews with the Messiah all about….this is an audience with the your liberal god, show him some respect.
I passed on the Oprah interview in favor of watching the Eagles v. Giants…personally, I can’t stomach Oprah much of the time. Maybe Obama thought she would give him a car or her latest book club choice as an early Kwanza gift. Let’s not even ask how much quid pro quo is going on with her significant endorsements and probable donations to his campaign.
B+ Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
This little boy must reside in a parallel universe, such as the Young And Useless’, Genoa City.
I’ve been through alot of presidents in my lifetime starting with FDR. I have never seen one as self enthralled as the empty suit we have now. I think he honestly believes he is the savior. If not for the world, at least this country.
According to Gallup, he has a 47% approval rating. Is that what constitutes a B+? Maybe after you factor in racial preferences.
B+ as in “B for bankruptcy”, which could refer either to his policy ideas, or to his goal for our country.
I thought 47% was failing?!?!?!? – Lorica
With affirmative action students you can’t fail them and you have to pass them on or else their self-image will be shattered.
With Duh-1? Yeah, right.
Translation: “I’d rate myself a B+ since, after all, I haven’t been able to completely destroy this once great nation within the first year as I had hoped. When I succeed in taking over health care which will eventually bankrupt us entirely, I’ll give myself an all out A+ for doing what I set out to do and that is bring down America as she once was. It’s all part of my Socialist agenda I’m hell bent on pushing forward with despite any bothersome naysayers out there.”
America has “reset” her prestige in the world? Because Obama has bowed to hereditary rulers? Because he has made anti-US statements to foreign audiences? French President Sarkozy is correct when he said Obama lives in a virtual universe; not one based on how things are, but one how in his mind they ought to be.
In other words, TomTB, Duh-1 is the archetypal liberal, but with megalomania thrown in.
Folks, let’s give the man a break!
After all, as he himself put it, ‘[his] labors on the world stage have only just begun’ (or something to that effect).
I mean, there’s just so much healing, wealth redistribution, and general society-wrecking to be getting on with, that even the Big O needs time to work that voodoo that he do so well….
With Obamanomics, if my savings account is down to $3.42 and have $20,000 in bills, I’d better go out and waste my next three paychecks completely so I can build that savings account up again.
I’m sure that’ll work! The President himself says it’s working under his guidance.
In addiction counselling one of the first things one learns is, if your in a hole, stop digging. Obviously, Duh-1 either skipped that session or slept through it.
