Humble as ever. Obama gives himself “A Good, Solid B-plus” during his “Oprah Christmas Special”

obama-dope.jpg10% unemployment. Over 4 million jobs lost. The first terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11 with Nidal Malik Hassan, and Obama gives himself a B+ for his first year in office. Yes, Mr. Humble Obama used some sort of curve I guess to grade himself. Maybe the same cost curve thats going to be “bent” with the passage of ObamaCARE. Jake Tapper has a summary of the Oprah/Obama exchange:

“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.”
