I'm going to give him a D+.  If it weren't for Iraq, he probably would be a decent President.

Yet you are a Lieberman fan.  That makes no sense.  Iraq is as much Lieberman's war as Bush's.

Anyway I selected F.  I'd have given him a Zero if it was an option.  He is the worst POTUS in history.  By FAR.

He gets a B.  He can squeek out a B+ if he can get Social Security or Tax Reform started before leaving office.

Definitely the worst aspect about Lieberman.  I do agree with Lieberman and Bush about staying in Iraq, I just think the country would have been much better off if we didn't go in (economically mainly).

F.  Of course in fairness I would give that same grade to any religious right-winger.

You like the war?  What possible use is it to you?  Are you a defense contractor?

No, but I do favor saving people from ruthless dictators.  Call me crazy.

Is 147,000+ dead saving them from Saddam?

Do you support invading China to liberate them?

Do you believe strongly enough in saving them that you've signed up and went to fight in Iraq?

Well, I'm only 15.  However, to be honest, no I would not have signed up to go to Iraq.  Not because I do not support the war, but because I believe my talents (if I were an adult at the time) could have been better used back at home.  I hate when people say "well why didn't you sign up".  Not everyone is good at fighting.  You can support a war without fighting in it.

Overall, I'd probably give him a D+.

Iraq, the federal marriage amendment, supporting the renewal of the Assault Weapons Ban, PATRIOT ACT and wiretaps, NCLB, Harriet Miers, and CAFTA are no good.

I have mixed feelings about John Roberts.

Samuel Alito, social security reform, the Partial Birth Abortion Ban (meaningless as it is), and setting a good example in his recent personal life (i.e. no adultery, that we know of) are good.

Not a good president at all, really, but history will probably be kinder to him than we are.

Please quote a reputable source for the 147K. The best counts put the number at 30K.

D+. He is a horrible president on the whole; however, he does deserve credit for cutting taxes.
