How Would You Rate Obamas First 50 Days?

Newsweek and MSNBC have posted a poll up for people to rate Obamas first fifty (50) days and I thought it would be fun to try it here on DTR. Please rate Obama's Performance for his first fifty (50) days and if you want, give us some reasons why you voted the way you did.

I could only list four (4) options on this poll. I gave Obama a "D" but would have made it an "F" if that were an option.

Why? Well here is a "short list" of my reasons:

1.) Unemployment is now at 8.1%. 651,000 unemployment claims in the month of February and the Labor Department has said those numbers are ONLY the jobless that have actually FILED! They feel the ACTUAL NUMBER could be as high as 10%! And I feel it will go higher.

2.) The Dow (Stock Market) has reached lows not seen since the early
1980's. Last week it dropped below 7,000 and has been near 6,500.

3.) Obama has both nominated and staffed his Cabinet with tax cheats and dishonest people. He has yet to fill all of the positons in the Treasury Dept.

4.) Obama's Administration seems determined to go after our 2nd Amendment
Rights.

5.) Obama has said he is going to raise capital gains taxes and individual rates on people with incomes of $250,000.00 or higher. In doing this he is going after the very people (such as small business owners) who hire people and ADD AND HELP our economy at a time when we need it the most!

Believe me, there is alot more too....................................

I give him a double "F". He has failed to keep campaign promises and failing the country by his wreckless spending..

I gave him a SOLID F, I cannot even begin to get started on my many many reasons, but lets just say that spending my grandkids (which I don't have yet) money is just insane, this man should be committed!!!!
