When Idiots Grade a President


Today marked the first 100 days of the Obama Administration. Life was already better when President Obama won in November, as just knowing that we were never going to have to deal with the Bush Administration was a wonderful and joyous occasion.  Now, we have this landmark anniversary of President Obama's time in office.  He, unfortunately, walked right into a colossal disaster, which was left by his predecessor.  After an eloquent and informative press conference today, I am confident that we have one of the best Presidents in our nation's history.
So, WTF is all this crap about "grading" the President's first 100 days?  We VOTED for the man, for crying out loud!  Isn't that enough of a "grade" or positive support?  I find this cable news assault infuriating, and essentially insulting, as a human being with functional brain activity.  President Obama is accomplishing more in 100 days of his presidency than many previous leaders.  He is focused, thoughtful, passionate, about rebuilding the morale of the American people.  He appeals to Americans of all ethnicities, genders, and ages.  People can criticize to their heart's content.  After all, this is the U.S.A., where our forefathers fought for freedom of speech, happiness, health, and so on.  I don't remember ever "grading" a President before.  President GW Bush never really got that scrutinized early in office, and he turned out to be one of the worst Presidents in history.
