    What would you grade his presidency?

    I give him a solid B.

    The bailout is cool, and he did clap bin Laden, but he let these Tea party ? hijack Congress, and they did pretty much destroy the student loan industry. I worked in it, and saw a lot of people laid off once that bill kicked in back in 2010.

    Also, the half-sincerity with black issues overall didn't sit too well with me. His last year, he's made up for most of it, especially with the pardons of non-violent offenders, however, I won't just give this man an "A" off of GP.

    B, B+ sounds about right in my head. You?

    Yeah B range absolutely imo. I was thinking about how he has been seemingly riding the fence on race issues since he came in office. At first I thought he was being politically correct/measured with his constant equivocating "on this side you have this, and on this other side you have this, so we have to come together". However, I think he really believes that fence riding ? . He's not "African" American like that...he's Kenyan American...first generation American so his point of view just isn't going to be the same as a Black American descended from slaves.

    Couple that with the fact he was raised by a white mother in Hawaii, it's possible he never had that bad of an experience with the police or even racism and he just can't relate ALL the way. This obviously doesn't take away from his Blackness and I don't think he ever tried to down-play his Blackness, but I don't think his difference of perspective can be overlooked. And Black Americans (myself included at times) just struggled to figure out "why don't he see it like us????"

    I give him a B+ as well.

    Could he have did more...sure. But considering what he got accomplished wit the kind of Congress he has, speaks volumes.

    Unlike some folks, I can't put all that on him. I understand some of our people are upset he didn't do enough of us. But if you understand how the branches of government works, then you would know the president has to go thru congress to get anything passed. He wasn't elected just to represent only us, and to push only our agenda. This where folks get misconstrued at.

    Honestly, I think now since he soon won't have the chains of congress holding him back, he'll make a bigger impact post presidency getting everything he wants done.

    They had the best White House performances.

    Michelle Obama is worthy of praise due to her promotion of a healthy lifestyle.
