| I tend to agree with Rush Limbaugh and give him a D-. He now has room to fail when the rest of his socialistic agenda is inacted. |

| Rush Limbaugh is a moron, agreeing with a fat piece of crap moron like Rush makes you a moron, too. |

In fall fairness, I really don't think it is Obama himself with the massive plan to socialize America. However, officials like Pelosi wants high taxes, a redistribution of wealth through said taxation, and a general welfare system that provides cradle to the grave entitlements, as they have in Europe.
But, Obama does cater do their desires.

| A. He's set it up so America can eventually enact a socialist European model and reap the rewards. |

B.
Actually more happy with his foreign policy than his domestic so far. Not a fan of the bank or auto bailouts, although in the latter case I have to give him credit: it was good politicking there. |

| BTW, GOP=D. It just continues to shoot itself in the foot and gets hijacked by the extreme right. A nice, coherent opposition would be appreciated. |

I have to give him a lower grade on that one. His attempt at foreign policy was a little upsetting. His apologetic attitude towards Europe was a bit over the top. But, he has learned that Europe is not going to like the U.S. because ....well, lest face it. They are jealous and they have historical amnesia.
Although, his visit to Venezuala was interesting. I did like how he decided to not really react to Chavez, when he gave him that book. Though, since it was a direct insult, I do feel that Obama let him get away with too much.
I'll give him a C.

Grading his foreign policy based on Europe? Really? Personally I didn't care that Bush had disdain for it, nor care how Obama treats that part of the world. It isn't exactly a security danger, and is in agreement with the United States more often than not (which is probably why it is news when there is a disagreement). |

Yes....that trip took place in his first 100 days. That is what the topic is about. And, thus...we are giving him grades based on this time frame.
Europe is NOT a security danger, you say? Hmmmm.....I'll have to disagree with you on that one.

| I have to agree with dmb on this. The UK is a significant outside security threat to the US now. All those radicalized "British" Pakistanis can roll in on the visa waver program. |

Any group of nations that refuses to fight evil, whilie bowing down to hate filled ideology.........is a security risk.

| Well, I don't agree with that. Evil is not a word that can be tightly defined, let alone fought. You're just pushing platitudes. |
