The Presidential Report Card

If there is one thing about Barack Obama, it's that the man likes himself. He really, really does. A casual observer can tell by the way he poses for pictures with his chin angled just so while light beams all around him.

A person can tell by the way his clothes hang, too. They are perfectly tailored and drape just so. A person has to really like himself to be so well turned out all the time. No one will probably ever see him in sweats and a plaid shirt on TMZ. He has way too much style and panache for that.

So it should come as no surprise that he gave himself a B plus on his report card. Modesty is not something this man lacks. Following on the heels of that was his national approval rating, hovering at around fifty percent. Now I am no mathematician, and I never worked at a bank, but even I know that fifty percent falls somewhere around the F mark.

Here is my moderate Republican report card for this man.

Attitude and Manners - A

Foreign Policy - C -. Sorry, Chico, but you are always kowtowing to the wrong people.

Illegal Immigration - D. Sorry, again, Bucko, but you are not doing enough to stop it.

Health Care Plan - ??? Let's pass one that doesn't break the back of the economy and then we'll talk.

Overall score - A good solid C, probably because I am slightly dopey from having had the flu earlier in the week.
