Health Care: A. Obama made healthcare a top priority when he was elected to office, and I do approve of his healthcare program, the public option. I find it to be beneficial to the American people, and though many disagree with it, I support it, and find his efforts both successful and admirable.
Dealing with the Economic Downturn: B. Truly, Obama could deal with our economic troubles a little bit better (as the Wallstreet protests so clearly illustrate) but considering the fact that Europe is in shaky economic waters (which is in turn, threatening the U.S.) and the fact that the U.S has so many other issues to deal with, he's handling it better than expected, with his multiple attempts at creating jobs and tax relief.
War On Terror: B+. War isn't exactly an easy thing to end quickly, but Obama began pulling troops out of Iraq in a smart and timely manner. He then focused on Afghanistan, a smart decision considering that it did require the U.S's attention.
Reelection Bid: B-. Honestly, though I would like to see Obama be reelected, with a lack of jobs and economic uncertainty, it seems a little dubious that he will be reelected. The American people tend to like to change leaders in times like these, and though Obama has pushed through immense amounts of legislation and made progress during his administration, he's going to need to start winning back the support quickly of the voters.
