Obama’s Mixed Record

The pundits are handing out their end of the year, political report cards. While it's not surprising that Glenn Beck and crew are giving Obama failing grades, it is interesting that progressives have been giving him mediocre grades. They think that Obama could have shown greater leadership over the Congress and their bungling of the health care bill. The Washington Post nailed him today for his foreign policy as well.

Darrell West at the Brookings Institute gives him a B+ for leadership.

Good commentary on this topic from Matthew Yglesias. Matt writes, "Among self-identified Democrats, about eighty percent say they approve of the job Obama is doing"

Mark Blumenthal says there is scant evidence for a liberal uprising against Obama.
