our president, Barack Obama...

But he is Libyan

He may not be a marxist, but he sure hung out with some folks with interesting views.

Palin might be a bit of fluff, but McCain isn't a clueless dolt!

I'd agree that until about 3-4 years ago, he was both bright and respectable. As soon as he started running for President, it seemed like he drilled a hole in the side of his head and dumped out half his brains (it seemed necessary to appeal to his base).

He completely lost me during his campaign when on the day of Lehmann Bros.' collapse and a huge stock market implosion, he proclaimed "the fundamentals of our economy are strong." His selection of Sarah as a running mate (once it became clear what she was all about) sealed the deal for me.

Palinphobe in-training. Noone hasn't given me my official merit badge yet.

there is no option in your poll for me

I do not think he is a bum or a great leader but I am not on the fence about his performance.

I find him an inept legislator, (yes technically he is not a legislator) a very good diplomat and a fair administrator.


He's no Hillary. (BTW I used to hate Hillary as much as you radicals hate pelosi now)

To the OP's question, I guess it depends if I grade absolutely or on a curve. On a absolute basis, I agree with Noone for the most part, although I'd give him more credit as a legislator (his big initiatives have passed, for better or worse).

On a curve (and in comparison with his immediate predecessor or even his opponent in the last election), he'd get a solid A-/B+.

Well, with all of the tension in N. Africa coming to a head very soon, we'll get a chance to find out, won't we.

Noon's slipping.

He's even removed his holier than thou anti-Palin slur from the bottom of his posts.

It may fall to you to advance the colors.
