Health Care- B
Although I am a huge advocate of free or reduced universal healthcare and I support the Affordable Care Act, I just don't feel too confident in how Obama dealt with the whole healthcare situation. I have no idea how one would respond if one were in his place, but I just don't think that the Care Act will be entirely successful. Most likely the plan will be found unconstitutional, and I don't think that there's enough support for the Act to pass. I feel like he had good intentions, though.
Dealing with the Economic Downturn- C
His plans haven't made much progress, but we haven't lost too much either. C. Big, fat average. The state of the economy isn't a result of his presidency, but his efforts to improve it have been mediocre at best. The bureaucracy is partly to blame for this- if it were more efficient and less indecisive, we might be in a better state right now.
War on Terror- A-
I applaud Obama's efforts to remove troops and end the war in Iraq. It's getting to the point where we've overstayed our welcome. Obama inherited the war, and he's done a pretty good job in cleaning the mess up. And he killed Osama Bin Laden. Pretty freaking awesome.
Reelection Bid- B-
Even though I'll probably end up supporting Obama in the next election, I'm not too convinced that he's going to win; other democrats feel this way too, and it's not a good thing. Obviously if he was running against someone like Bachmann, I wouldn't be worried at all, but with all the publicity GOP candidates have been getting, he definitely should be worried. It's going to be a close race. He's raise tons of money for his reelection campaign, but his approval ratings are terrible.
