Nixon fully killed (the famous we're all Keynesian now) it to my understanding but at the time the standard was hanging by a thread by the time he gained power.

This is my understanding too. Nixon was the last liberal president.
 
We actually left the "true" gold standard behind more than a century ago. What came after was the quote-unquote "gold exchange standard."
 
A straight "C" from me. No backbone, and he seems to be in bed with everyone with exception to "we the people." On the good side, he is well liked ouside of the US, mainly because anyone would look good after Bush.
 
I had B-. He has not done as much as I would like, but considering the state of the country when he joined there is only so much he can accomplish. Between the UHC bill, ordering the Osama strike, and improved international relations I can give him a few points.

C-/D+ Generally the President has been willing to alter his position on the worst of his foreign policy instincts; which he deserves credit for. His domestic leadership, however, has largely consisted of lurching from one entangled screw up to another.
 
If you lived here.....you could see how Obama is the worst president in history....first hand......

you're forgetting LBJ, Wilson, FDR.... and that's just 20th Century.
 
D+...

Was not a fan of the health care reform. Not a fan of the push for cap and trade. Not a fan of his stubborness on the Bush Tax Cuts. Didn't like how a large amoutn of his rhetoric during the campaign which was largely what accelerated him to victory came out to be complete BS. Not been a large fan of his handling of a variety of the foreign issues we've ran into. I have liked some of his actions with regards to national defense and the military, but many of those in a two steps forward two steps back type of way.

For reference, I'd not rate any of the past 4 presidential terms as above a C+ for myself.
 
my vote went to a C+. I would give Obama higher if he would show some guts and stand up to the right wingers a whole lot more. When he signed the tax cuts after the election - that was a terrible mistake.

I think he has done more good than bad but his move to the right to placate the right wing is just not a good thing.



So unemployment, higher or lower than 4 years ago?

So Wars, are we in more or less wars?

So Gitmo, is it closed yet?

So is your house (if you own one), worth more or less than it was 4 years ago?

So are we in more or less debt than we were 4 years ago....


C+? on what curve are you grading him on. :lamo
 
My vote is an F+. What happened to the hope and change and all his promises?? Obama has failed the country and the American people, the country is in shambles and he has no plans except campaigning for another 4 MORE years of failure.

C or C- for me.
Broken way to campaign promises (who woulda thought?), backing down way to much, no public option, not putting up a fight, not open transparent enough, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, torture, Patriot Act, Bush tax cuts... Need i go on?
 
I'm bumping him up to a B after today's comment.

"I have reached the point where I say enough," Obama concluded, according to Reuters. "Would Ronald Reagan be sitting here? I've reached my limit. This may bring my presidency down, but I will not yield on this."

So somebody is willing to take a stand for us. God knows nobody else is.
 
0% give him an A........31% give him a D-F.....Worst President in History.......

I agree... our streets are now full of Mexicans and the North Koreans are ****ing our women... dirty sons of bitches!
 
Not true. I voted in the D-F range and I'm about as left as they come.

You make up 31% of the forum? Sit down "lefty".

I'd give him a C. However, I do recognize that basically anyone wouldn't be doing a better job. As much as the uneducated hacks here like to pretend, there really is no good method of getting out of a financial crisis recession for the US. I keep bringing that up with historical examples and certain users here run away like it's the plague.

C- for me... but im an easy grader sooooo... an F is like Hitler

I really dislike the political games he plays, he really comes off as a person that just does everything for show. I don't feel the passion from his own perspective on things; he just does things that would give him a better advantage at doing whatever the outcome he wants...

What i do like about him is, i strangely have a unwanted trust for the guy if anything REALLY bad happens... like an attack or continental-war, he would step up and do what needs to be done in my opinion. I think its the whole thing to do with Osama is what gives me this impression, but that could have been another thing just for show/ a big political gain.
