I give him a 3 out of 10.

Overall, he has been slowly declining in Popularity and is losing support on his policies and proposals at this time. He has three more years in Office to continue to direct America, and might prove to be a terrible President or an excellent Preisdent but so far he is on hes way to be no better than GWB.

So far he has....
-Created a larger deficit and debt then all previous Presidents combined
-Refused to have open meetings that were promised during his campaign regarding heath care.
-Failed to yet close Gitmo as promised.
-Increased unemployment to 40 year highs.Reached 10.2 today.
-Created Internet monitoring group to monitor sites such as this for "enemies" (Shades of Nixon!)
-He sent addition troups to Afganistan in March
-Created massive bailouts for millionaires and large corporations at the cost of the working class
-Increased debt of each American to new highs
-Pushed the Fairness Doctrine to limit free speech

While you have many fine truthful points. I don't see the President in the same light as you do.



Early one morning 4am, while preparing my burial detail at Arlington National Cemetery Obama visited the cemetery with only 2 secret service agents.



He walked slowly through the row's of grave markers of our fallen military people buried in this cemetery. My detail of 8 and i had the opportunity to sit down and speak to him at the tomb of the unknown soldier.



He's deeply concerned about the country and especially the decision to send more troops in harms way. He actually stated that this is in fact the most difficult decision he's had to make during his lifetime. He even stated that people will hate him no matter what decision he makes on anything. He just wants to get it right the first time.



I don't envy his job. Not one bit. No one should. This country is in a mess and it's going to get worse before it gets better, he's stated that many times.



We as American Patriots should stand behind the president in these very difficult times. We the people don't have all the facts, we only hear a very small fraction of the facts on any given subject.



I'll stand behind the president. I didn't vote for him, but i certainly will if he should run again... Because I know first hand how passionately he loves this country and respects our military.



I rate the president a 10 on a scale of 1-10.

Sadly I will give him a 1.5, and that is being generous.



I hope with his time left in office he will work on bringing down the national debt and lowering taxes on small business for job stimulation but sadly I don't think that is going to happen either.
Must be my birthday!!!

I will in a years time!!!



but in 9 months, he has not done much. Well he did raise the unemployment level to a 40 year high.



and he did divide a nation through failed policy by an agenda driven House of Representatives.



oh yeah - he did create 30000 new jobs! But he did lose 500,000 a month for the last 9 months. (4.5 million lost jobs)



Alot of people live in parking lots in California... HE DID DO SOMETHING!!! He helped to stimulate the parking lots business for homeless people!!!

7 of 10 The DOW is up 2500 from when he took office. GDP is +3.2 after four quarters of being negative. Home sales and starts bottomed when Obama took office. Sales of durable goods and consumer confidence is up. Obama stopped torture, is closing Gitmo and treats detainees as humans. Terrorists have actually faced justice. He stopped the boondoggle and ineffective missile shield in Eastern Europe in favor of a more cost effective and successful system. He has improved our reputation in the world.

I'd give him a 1/10.



The only good thing he's done is reverse the ban on stem cell research.



His health care reform will destroy this nation.

I'll wait until he is in office a year before I rate the first year.



A lot can happen in two months.

He's lower in my eyes than when he was elected. And that's damn near as low as anyone could've gotten.
