On her Christmas in Washington special on ABC last night, Oprah Winfrey asked President Obama to grade
himself.
"Good, solid B-plus," the president said.
Explaining, he said, "we have inherited the biggest set of challenges of any president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
"We stabilized the economy, and prevented possibilities of a Great Depression or a significant financial meltdown. The economy is growing again.
"We are on our way out of Iraq. I think we've got the best possible plan for Afghanistan.
"We have reset our image around the world.
"We have achieved an international consensus around the need for Iran and North Korea to disable their nuclear weapons.
"And I think that we're going to pass the most significant piece of social legislation since Social Security,and that's health insurance for every American," he concluded.
Pressed by Oprah as to why only a B-plus, the president said, "B-plus because of the things that are undone. Health care is not yet signed. If I get health care passed we tip into A-minus."
What grade would you give him and why?
