This poll is pretty squewed. I think most serious people would give him a B- or C+. Certainly not good, but certainly good enough to proceed to the next year. The presidency isn't a cut-throat dance school that cuts people who aren't in the top however-many percent (although that's a funny image). It's more like a curved grad school where Obama is finishing top of the class despite getting 60% of the questions right on his exam.
Are you really trying to say that those that gave Obama a D or F are not serious people? That our votes don't count and as such the poll is "skewed"? Sorry but I am quite serious when I say that Obama is among the worst presidents that we have had in a very long time.
The man is not a leader, he does not compromise on the things that he should compromise on and he does compromise on the things that he shouldn't compromise on and then there are the times that he just rams things through like it or not.
The guy spent more in his first year than Bush did on the Iraq war.
The guy promised transparency not only in general but especially for Health care reform...instead Obamacare was developed behind closed doors.
The guy bowed to another foriegn national.
He did a horrible job during the oil spill.
He keeps saying that we need to ween our nation off of foreign oil but he won't let domestic oil be drilled for. As far as I know he hasn't even considered nuclear energy.
He has signed legislation renewing the Patriot Act.
He has signed legislation that requires citizens to buy insurance from private companies against their will.
He has signed legislation that allows America to be deemed a warzone when no one is attacking us and the only wars going on is on the other side of the world....opening up the possibility that any citizen can be picked up and imprisoned without trial indefinitely.
And finally but not least, he conducted a war in Lybia without the consent of Congress and is getting away with it by saying that since there are no soldiers on the ground it isn't a war. (sorry but if the same exact thing happened to the US you can be damned sure that we would consider it an act of war)
And those were just off the top of my head. This President deserves nothing more than a D. Perferably an F (without the traitor bull crap in the poll)
