Voted. ;)

On a a scale of A to F, 46 percent gave the President an F. Wow.

And this is on CBS, no less.

This is a great day! The Massachusetts senate election is going great and Obama is sucking eggs in a liberal CBS poll. Life Is Good! :D

We're changing our country back to what our Founding Fathers fought for...one vote at a time.

[RogerinTPA]

Done..... and remember, vote often!

Guys, if you take this poll and then view the results, they are startling to say the least. O most categories, the collective grades beween C to F are averanging sixty and sometimes approaching 80%. That is staggering that amount of people grade him as such!!!

[glocktogo]

Theonly thing worse than his score on Health Care (65% F) is his score on bipartisanship (66% F). Is anyone surprised by this? :rolleyes:

Wouldn't it be funny if Obama getting elected is actually what saved this country by waking up the populace to the democrat/progressive's real character? :D

Glen Beck said the same thing when he said it was a good thing McCain did not win. He also took a lot of heat for it.

A lot of the subjects are really vague:

For example, to my mind "Foreign Policy", "Afghanistan", "Iraq", and "Threat of Terrorism" all overlap quite a bit.

"Energy and the Environment" and "The Economy" also have some overlap/conflict. Case in point: the Cash for Clunkers initiative was pitched as an environmental program, but functioned like a thinly veiled economic "stimulus" package - was it an environmental failure but an economic success? Neither? Both? (this is a rhetorical question to highlight the complexity of these incredibly oversimplified categories, I don't really expect or necessarily want people to answer the question directly).

I can't even begin to speculate as to what CBS considers to fall under the "Social Issues" heading... that goofy "Beer Summit", maybe?

In essence, I think this poll fundamentally sucks, there's too many categories with too much overlap that are altogether too vague.

[usaffarmer]

They should have the section labled:

American: A or F
Good Puppet: A or F
over all: F or F

that would make it better

[Bubba FAL]

That was fun!

They do need to add one more grade: "Epic Fail".
