From CBS. Even that didn't help him. Bill T.

The only place he even got remotely mediocre numbers was the Iraq and Afghanistan areas.

He'd have to improve DRASTICALLY to be mediocre.

BHO, couldn't reach mediocrity with a non-regulation driver and a running (Happy Gilmore) start.

Just because the poll is "unscientific" doesn't mean it's not right! 63% of respondents give Odamna an F. Personally, I don't think that's low enough, but abject failure is as low as we go on this poll. Doing actual harm should count on the negative side of things and should result in "Failure with a Star."

That's only because the majority of the American people are so apathetic and ignorant only 1 in 10 can even FIND Iraq and Afghanistan on a map. "I don't know and I don't care! NIMBY!" They think we're doing a good job because BHO says we're leaving. They don't realize it is exactly that attitude that got us here in the first place.
By my calculations we are basically on track there:
Amercain Revolutioin took eight years to gain independence. 1775-1783
The Articles of Confederation were written in four years while at war 1777-1781
The Constitution and Bill of Rights, written in peacetime, took nearly a year to write and another four to ratify and put into effect 1787-1791
That's 16 years from the start of hostilities to a stable, peacetime government. We've been at it for seven and they have a Costitution, the fighting isn't completely stopped and the government isn't completely stable. They are having the added pressure of having aggitators from the rest of the Middle East Saudi actively trying to cause instability and they're help is pulling out just when we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel (oncoming train??) The French at least waited until we'd actually beat the British before they left.
