ObamaMeter Morphs Into an Obama Report Card

I am just reading your message and if you just happen to review this article , this message is for you.

It is none of your business about what I think and how I express my true feeling about issues. Let us face it, people like you do not recognize racism when you see it because you have been so accustomed to participating in evil thoughts and deeds. Anyone with an ounce of smarts would know that a percentage of you people hate Obama because of his color. Now having said that, you need to get a grip and leave my comments to me and most of all, think about your own.

Racism is still racism. When did harking back to the Constitution mean going back to slavery? Where did you read racism in this article or get the notion that anyone wanting to go back to the IDEALS of the Constitution meant going back to sitting in the back of the bus?

Geez, are we to assume that because you have Dr. attached to your name (if you really do) that you have a special knowledge of socialism that the rest of us don't? Maybe you do...as being a "Dr" would definitely place you among the social elite in a socialist regime.

As far as this President having to endure so much so early in his Presidency, if it's too hot in the kitchen then get out. He touted himself as able, ready and worthy in his campaign, so why the tears over his bewilderment now?

As far as the crazy's of the world are concerned I heard far worse about Bush. Get a grip about social issues in this country, sure America is not perfect but it sure beats any other country in this world! I among others just get tired of people like yourself who fantasize about a perfect world using our hard earned money while keeping yourself above the fray! When you contribute your salary (other than absolute living costs, and I don't mean a fancy new car every two years, weeks in the Bahama's for vacations, million dollar homes and private schools and tuition for the "best" schools for your children) than you can talk about social issues to the rest of us.

Glen of RI...it may be "claptrap", but guess what...you read it!?! You took the time to flap your gums and truth be told if you're not part of the solution - you're still and always will be...part of the problem!

This entire colume -- whether an Obamameter or a report card -- is useless claptrap. It's justs more of the 'scoring' that so enamore the media and the DC crowd. It encourages even more extremely-short perspectives and dysfunctional thinking.

The country needs more sage thought about the inteconnections on major issues and trends, then informed decisions for the long-term good of the country at large.

The entire underpinning of this 'column' (or 'feature'?) leads to the opposite. Wasted space, wasted time, wasted money.

...now he must "lie"in it. He wanted to take over --oh-- I mean take on everything at once. He snowballed himself into this mess. And as far as going back to our freedoms, that has nothing to do with slavery other than the fact that he wants to enslave all citizens to the govt, no matter your color or gender. Dictators want the power to control everyone, so if one wants to talk about slaveery that is what it's coming to. He deserves an "F" for foreign and domestic shananigans.

I think he deserves better than a C to be able to watch the crazies of the world with their bitter name calling and active/nonproductive behavior. No other president has had to endure so much so soon,but yet being a graceful man, he knows just how to ignore these ignotsnt people. There are some who really do have legitimate concerns and have been fed a bunch of lies regarding health care. Everyone has a right to disagree with this man's polocies, but not a right to disrespecr and to estabish their own facts. We have been dealing with social programs for a long time in this country and when I hear that some just want their country back or the way it was intended at the signing of the US Constitution, it takes me back to slavery and when Blacks had to go to court to provee that they were real people. Many do not know what socialism or communism are and need to research these two areas.

Dr. Ruby L. Helton of MI 1:55AM September 19, 2009

Right now it's a 'C'. After plastering his face all over tv on Sunday the public will have about had it with ramming govt option healthcare at us and he'll get a great big "F".

He needs to tuck health care overhaul argument away for a rainy day and focus on jobs and the economy, the real priorities Americans want and need right now.

A to F or 1 to 100, it's just empty punditry.
