How Would You Rate President Obama's First Week

[Mikelus Trento]

Yes, it has been a week now since the USA acquired a new leader. I acknowledge this question comes from Jack Cafferty of CNN, but it seemed a great one for the diverse bunch in here to comment on. So, please do give your opinion, and end your post with a % rating.

**************************************************

Domestically, the stock market is stable despite horrendous unemployment news. Some glimmers of positive news in the housing industry and credit markets. :hmmm:

Internationally...WOW! Tough, but fair. A fine example of an American leader so far.

I do fault him for picking Hillary, who has done nothing but nod her head a few times, but he may have been between the rock and a hard place on that one. I find it interesting he felt the need for a special envoy to get things rolling in the Middle East vs the Sec of State.

I give him a 95% rating.

[aarons got funky fresh]

Well, what exactly DID he do?

Well, what exactly DID he do?

ummmm closed the Guantanemo Detention Facility, use some drones to kill some terrorists inside Pakistan, been doing some heavy duty manuvering on the Middle East starting with his very first action in office and highlighted by the TV interview with the Arab station, got his team in order, continued to work on the economy which despite reason to plummet is showing signs of improvement,

just off the top of my head

So far, so good. A president needs to tackle one issue at a time, and that's what he's doing. And it seems like he has a mission, which at the least is better than an opaque or lazy executive (like the last one). I'm just happy he's not Bush, to be honest.

Don't get me wrong, I still hate his guts on principle.

And your rating is?

FYI....a just released Gallup Poll has his approval rating among Americans at 69%. It will be interesting to see how it turns out on an international forum. If there is enough response (meaning an actual rating) and participation, I'll collate em in awhile.

Nope sorry they were civilizans, Pakistan has said so...sorry not giving a pass for all the posts in the past to blast the Bush admin everytime a drone hit a target. Besides why is that an accomplishment of continuing the previous admin's policy? Honestly Obama has done very little this week to even comment on beyond his ordering closing of Gitmo but even that is open ended as to when it will actually happen and what will happen to the people there so Im not even sure its a plus yet.

85% Fairly above average compared to others' first weeks.

Do you even remember what others did in their first weeks?



As for my rating i'd say around 75%, which is fairly average for new Presidents.

There's been some flashy stuff here and there, but nothing for anyone but the most diehard supporters to wank themselves out over. All the things he's touched on so far have been small beans compared to other more pressing issues.

[Barry Goldwater]

So far, no major -ups. I believe a rating of 75% or 80% would be fair.

100%.

He does stuff, and they don`t even have to require photo-ops.

[Surgeon]

It's been one week, for Pete's sake! If he messed up in one freaking week he'd probably go down as the most inept president in history!

Rating the president's first week performance is a pretty pointless thing to do. ]

Have fun.

[Barack Hussein Obama]

11/10.

[jsktrogdor]

I HAVNT FELT ANY CHANGE YET!!!!

how will I be able to tell? tingling in my pants? is there going to be a memo when the change comes? I'd like to stay on top of this.

[Panzerbear]

so far so good. I will give him 90/100.

he did absolutely nothing that I would disagree with and he did few things that I would definitely agree with.
I still do not trust a single word he says though LMAO.

I am shamelessly biased in favor of Obama.

After that racist comment mr.Reich let slip...well, that just wasn't enough. I want to see curfews put into effect, I want Whites suffrage taken away. Everything and anything!

No, but seriously, Obama did not fail hard enough, lets hope Mr. Reich keeps on talking and shows Obama for what he really is.
