    Give President Barry an honest grade ...

    ... hurry before MSNBC deletes this poll. The B-Man ain't doing too good.

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29493093/

    I gave him a "D", my honest opinion.

    I would give him higher than a D.

    Maybe somewhere around a B-.

    He got handed a very bad turnover from W in my opinion.

    He is deescalating the war with Iraq. +1. He is moving troops to Afghanistan, again +1. He is continuing to push Pakistan to control their outlaw elements both in their government and populace. +1. Releasing restrictions on stem cell research, +1. Pushing the tax levels to tax the very rich at higher levels, +1.

    He is continuing the bailout program and trying to float the economy with gifts of our tax dollars to people that took bad risks without doing enough research. -2. This is going to be a decision that history is going to have to decide if it was right or not.

    He has not been in office long enough to really tell how good a job he is doing. Give him some time and then decide.

    I can't do it. I'm waffling between a C and a D, but I've been really off the media whirlygig the last few weeks, trying to not worry myself into an early grave.

    not a scientific poll, so take it for what it's worth..but it surprises me that a poll on the msnbc website has 57% of 34k voters giving him an F. i gave him a C.

    I'll give him a C. I realize he inherited a bad economy but he hasn't done a lot to reassure people it will get better. If I wanted to hear doom & gloom I'd watch or read the news...he is suppose to inspire and lead!

    I gave him a C, because he has only been in office for a very short time. I can only give an honest grade in about 2-4 years from now.

    F Closing gitmo, crashing the market, printing money we don't have, gov health care,and now the stem cells.

    I was willing to give him a chance. He had one.

    Why cant we cut capital gains tax?
    I know youd rather see me gone,Than to see me the way that I am. But I am in the life anyway.

    My investments need him to succeed but he seems to be doing everyting in his power to ensure the market has zero faith in him or his plans. Tack on Gitmo and you have a total failure so far. Today finds him giving speeches about education. Uh....how about back to the economy Barack.

    Uh....how about, a person with a job as important as the President's needs to focus on more than one thing at the same time.

    I agree with stem cell research. Weird, we agree on something.

    Gitmo Closing: Good
    Stem-Cell Ban Lift: Good
    Iraq War Ending Timeline: Good
    Stimulus: We'll have to wait and see.

    i dont know how anyone could disagree. why not take advantage of scientific advances that could help millions of people and save lives?

    Or, perhaps, he is simply "overwhelmed".

    Take a Xanax and chill out, Barry. You knew what you were getting into, didn't you?

    At least you pretended you did during the campaign.

    I guess you can always sit back and "blame Bush".
