i think that its to hard to grade him right now. he is just doing wut he thinks is good and right for every one. so do u think that we should be grading him right now? ya he's been in office for 100 days but give him a nother couple of months

Crystal   April 23rd, 2009 11:26 pm ET

Well, right now I don't really see any changes in the economy. I am not sure what to grade him. I really wish that after a couple of months, I can see some progress.

Lee   April 24th, 2009 2:38 am ET

I think that grading him is too early. He is just trying to do his plans, and we don't know the result of that. We should keep watching him and giving him our opinions to go the right way.

griego   April 24th, 2009 4:50 am ET

i think he is unfair to all the people who are trying to do the right thing by paying there mortgages when he gives everybody else money.

mitchel   April 24th, 2009 8:25 am ET

I dont think we should grade the president just yet because he just started his presidency we should give him a little bit more time.

Tree   April 24th, 2009 8:44 am ET

F. kthx. :)

Joshua   April 24th, 2009 8:54 am ET

Its hard to grade the president on his first 100 days. There are going to be so many thing he as to heldly that he as not seen yet. So to grade him seem to be alittle unfair. Yea he is doing good but he still has over 3 years to go and no one knows how its going to be and whats going to happen.

Jesse   April 24th, 2009 8:55 am ET

I do not really like the president Obama too much. I like how he is trying to help the economy, but I think he’s messing up the education system. From what I have heard, he is trying to increase the number of school hours. Is US a free country or is it becoming a communist country? Why are people forced to go to school? It should be our choice and be responsible if we don’t go learn certain education. I became very offended when I heard this about Obama.

Cory   April 24th, 2009 8:58 am ET

I'd give him a C-D or 50%/50% because, like all presidents, he hasn,t made some good choices.

Kayla   April 24th, 2009 8:59 am ET

I think that Obama thinks he can change everything so quickly, and if that is so, he has done an awful job. I believe he should start focusing on things harder and really trying every single day to make things better in America, to help kids get loans for college and other important education problems that kids have were they can't go to college. I think he will be a good president when things start turning around, but for now I think he is just all talk, no action. He makes it seem like everything will change with him in office so quickly, but not much of anything has happened, now I am not saying he is not trying, I've never been the president and I dont know how hard it is to run the U.S but I just wish everything that he says will come true.

Franklin   April 24th, 2009 9:00 am ET

I think that President Obama has done okay in his first 100 days, but there really hasn’t been too much of an improvement in the economy just yet. Some may say that we need to “give it time” but I can think of a president who accomplished much more improvement in his first 100 days, FDR. The fact that FDR did much more in the face of a much larger problem shows that the current President could be doing more. GO ALPHABET SOUP!!!

Adam   April 24th, 2009 9:08 am ET

Although I'm not a very big fan of Obama, he's managed to keep the U.S. from getting annihilated. We've survived Clinton's presidency, so how bad can this presidency be? I give Obama a C.

laura   April 24th, 2009 9:31 am ET

I don’t think grade at this point is worth it. Yes he has been in office a hundred days. But giving that guy a grade for how he is doing in the white house is cheese. Yes there are some things that I don’t agree with. But he has come up with a lot of good ideas for us to use. I think a lot of people are not too sure about how to handle this election so they may not be for some of the stuff but there is a lot he is bring to the dinner table.

Lucas   April 24th, 2009 9:59 am ET

I think President Obama is doing good but I don`t think raising taxes is a good idea

Jess   April 24th, 2009 10:29 am ET

I would have to give a c, for a couple reasons. First of all, he hasn't fufilled, or even begun to fufill the promises he made during campaigning. He's actually completly contradicted them. I would understand some of the things he promised taking time, but he has actually gone completly against them. For example, one of his major campaign promises was that he would withdraw troops immediatly. And a few days after he was elected, he sent thousands more to the middle east. Also, he has mentioned in most of the speeches and addresses he has made that he inherited this problem, and basically has blamed the Bush administration for all of the problems he's dealing with now. I believe that, even though it may partially be their fault, it isn't one person or administration that has done all of this. Obama is wrong in trying to blame others for the economic crisis- Do we REALLY want a president who spends all of his time blaming others for his problems rather than tryign to fix them?

Brecca   April 24th, 2009 10:46 am ET

I think he deserves an A. He's doing a great job and being an awesome president!

Leah   April 24th, 2009 10:49 am ET

I'm not too happy with Obama right now. Sure he's environmentally friendly and I really like that, but all this FOCA stuff really gets on my nerves.

lyra   April 24th, 2009 10:58 am ET

He's very good, but the reason I gave him a B is that long school days are very bad. why we can study on our own.
So Obama, You're a B. But you have a lot of time, so do a better job!!

Courtney   April 24th, 2009 11:16 am ET

Its hard to make a decision at this point... you cannot tell if the president is/was good enough without giving him at least a year, The stimulus plan will take a little while to show the changes in the economy.if i had no chioce to give hime a grade mine would probably be a B-C.

Mattea   April 24th, 2009 11:31 am ET

President Obama, since he has been in office has done an okay job. Obama has made the gas prices go down very fast, not that I'm comeplaining or anything, I must say it helped my family alot.When you live 100 hundered miles away from town and gas prices are $1.30 it helps out. He still needs to work on fixing the economey. So with that said I give him a D.

Hayley.   April 24th, 2009 11:36 am ET

I would grade Obama a D-, because he said he'd give us change, then when? I also think that he should bring the army back from Bahgdad. my brother is in their, and i haven't seen him in three years. he keeps being sent back. Obama needs to bring the change now!

samuel   April 24th, 2009 11:37 am ET

I think Obama is not the best president at all. I wish Lincon was still in office and if he was life would be better.

Preston   April 24th, 2009 11:38 am ET

I think he should get a D- because of the away that he spent almost a quadrillion dollars to banks and companies that are losin money and going bankrupt.This will put the future in a tremendous dept that we cant pay.

Dakota   April 24th, 2009 11:45 am ET

I think that the first 100 days of having Obama in office has been good. If i were to give him a letter grade i would give him an A-. I give him an A- instead of A+ is that he has been giving money away to companies that are losing all of the money given to them. The people of the United States need the money more than bankrupt buisness.

Alex   April 24th, 2009 11:49 am ET

I would give Obama a D+ because he has at least took in consideration about our country's problems. Although he hasn't really helped much, he still has been trying. The only part I don't agree with his choices is that he has been using our money and the Taliban are moving into new places. The troops need to fight back. Obama needs to give that order.

Dani   April 24th, 2009 11:50 am ET

Dear Carl,
I think that Obama is doing what he thinks is right for our country. We shouldn't criticize him for trying to do the right thing. He's pulling the country away from a depresion which is really good. We can't be sure even if people don't approve of it. He's doing the best he can. I think he deserves a B. That gives him room to improve or get worse. To really be sure of what to grade him I think you should ask our parents. Grown-ups are the ones who put him in the office so I want to see how they feel about what he's done. I want to see if the parents that put him in the white house regret it or if the people who didn't want him there like what he's done.
Dani

seth   April 24th, 2009 11:56 am ET

Obama please fix the economy instead of destroying it .
Obama, this is what you are doing wrong:
1. Bailing out the banks instead of the nation.
2. Restrictons on gun rights

This is what you should do. Give us, the people, 10,000 dollars
for each family of five or give us we the people 2,000 dollars per person. That is what is going to help the economy the
best.

Carlos   April 24th, 2009 12:48 pm ET

I think President Obama is doing well in 100 days and that is awesome! we have to wait until Wednsday to see it.

Tiffani   April 24th, 2009 2:23 pm ET

not to be disrespectful mr president but the abortion laws you have lifted are insane. does anybody know that we are in a houlacaust by abortions if you have your own opinions thats what i belive so dont be hatin

Tiffani   April 24th, 2009 2:25 pm ET

heyyyyyyyy i just wanted to put a smiley face :) lots and lots of smiley faces :) :):):):):):):):):):):):)

Julio, Cindy   April 24th, 2009 2:42 pm ET

I think he should get an a because he has done everything good, but I want him to bring Miss. Greene from Iraq

Nelson, Marilu   April 24th, 2009 2:44 pm ET

Because all of the good laws he is makeing. And he is not raceist whith no one.because he give work to the mexicand people.

luis and noemi   April 24th, 2009 2:44 pm ET

we have to obama an 'b; because thats akind of an idea for cards

jessica and juan   April 24th, 2009 2:45 pm ET

me and juan think that obanma is doing a great job. so that why we give him a b for our vote.

juan and leo   April 24th, 2009 2:45 pm ET

because he is not doing the right things like going into different state and not doing not thing to his about the the jobs and losting money

luis and noemi   April 24th, 2009 2:46 pm ET

we have to obama an ;b; because that was a great idea

paulina   April 24th, 2009 2:47 pm ET

becuse i thing that obema is a great president and great person

Cayla :)   April 24th, 2009 3:35 pm ET

I give Obama a C because he's spending money we DON'T have. It's not an F because he is trying to form a stronger bond with forien people.

justin   April 24th, 2009 3:36 pm ET

I think Obama really needs to stop takeing money we dont have. He is putting evryone that isnt born and evryone younger right now into debt. I give him an F-. It isnt cool that he is putting evryone in debt and its gonna be a couple decades before we are able to pay it all off. Even tho he is trying to make freinds with other countrys if they help us out we only have to pay them back with either food or more money putting us immediatley back into debt.

Ashley   April 24th, 2009 3:36 pm ET

i think that the report card to president obama should be a C. he deserves this grade because he is trying, but he did spend a little to much money when he was doing the bailouts. i like that he is trying to be friendly with foreigners because everyone deserves a 2nd chance. some of the things he is planning though does kind of frustrate me about the thoughts he thinks of some plans.... but right now he deserves no lower than a C=)

Tyler   April 24th, 2009 3:36 pm ET

I think he should get a c because i dont agree with his bail out plain. He's goinn to tax us all up so we can bail out big companies like A.I.G. and then their going to blow it all on million dollar bonuses. I dont agree with out at all. But since hes trieng, i give him a c. Hes all ready trieng to give the people that got laid off jobs and i like that so i give him a c...

whitley   April 24th, 2009 3:39 pm ET

for the first one hundred days in offic. i think he should get a A+ becuse he is going to give us a nuther stimulas package which will help the economy alot. But i dont like that he is going to pull the troops out of iraq beuse the talibans,and alqueda will come over and blow the crap out of the us and then the president will ask him self why he pulled the troops out of iraq and the war will begin agin

Alana   April 24th, 2009 3:40 pm ET

I think the President is doing alrite so far but we'll see what's in store for us in the future.

Asher   April 24th, 2009 3:52 pm ET

He gets an F for me because the stimulus plan is going to lower the value of a dollar and he is taxing rich people more to help poor people

Ms. Langley's Classes   April 24th, 2009 4:20 pm ET

We think President Obama has been trying his hardest. He has exceeded expectations which were set by his critics.

P.S. Carl, Geography thinks you rock!!!

zach   April 24th, 2009 4:32 pm ET

i think president obama did not keep his promises and did horrible

Alyssa   April 24th, 2009 4:40 pm ET

Why are we grading him? Well, if I graded him I would give him B+. Karl what do you think?

Gabby   April 24th, 2009 4:40 pm ET

Well, I picked A because i do agree with most things he is dealing with physically, but meantally there are some things i disagree with so its half and half.

zach   April 24th, 2009 4:49 pm ET

a d

Darcee=)   April 24th, 2009 5:16 pm ET

please some one tell me of something good he's done!!!

Charlotte   April 24th, 2009 5:22 pm ET

I picked A (but really i would pick A++++) becuase he sounds like he knows what he is doing. I agree with him with most of the things. President Obama is doing the best that he can!!!

Ryan   April 24th, 2009 5:38 pm ET

President Obama is spending to much money. Our kids, and their kids are going to be paying this off.

Sally   April 24th, 2009 6:26 pm ET

Ummm. I don'd exactly live in there, but as long as i'm concerned, he's a total b-. From what i saw from the student news, i am correct (Aren't I??)

Nam   April 24th, 2009 6:37 pm ET

It's been 100 days, he got the ball rolling on a lot of stuff, but the results are still TBD. I'd give an I for incomplete if that was an option.

Ricardo   April 24th, 2009 7:12 pm ET

I dont think grading him is such a good idea at this early age wait 7 more months and you`ll see the results

Rouba   April 24th, 2009 7:19 pm ET

I think that the president got a C because he said that the soldiers wont go back to Afghanistan and he did.

Michaela   April 24th, 2009 8:03 pm ET

obama gets an f-

Parker   April 24th, 2009 9:10 pm ET

I think he deserves a B- because all he has done is weaken our defense system. He has been traveling around the world apologizing for our economy, beliefs, policies, etc.

Blake   April 24th, 2009 9:22 pm ET

I would give the president a B(+). It's not that I don't like president Obama, it's just that he isn't doing as much in less time. It might be impossible to be too fast, but honestly I think that the offices in which Obama chose are making him lag a bit. He is getting behind because of the people HE chose. But, I've got to say, he isn't perfect, but he's doing the best he can, and that is as good as we can say.

mike   April 24th, 2009 9:25 pm ET

What a shyster poll. 3 of the 4 answers are "passing grades". A majority of people could give him an 'F', and the pollster could spin it that "a large percentage of respondents gave Obama a passing grade". Polls are so predictable. They just railroad you into completely fabricated answers. The whole idea of most polls is just to destroy intelligent debate on issues.

Joey   April 24th, 2009 9:48 pm ET

He has put us in a huge debt if you look at numbers compared to any president before.

Joey   April 24th, 2009 9:50 pm ET

A stimulus package to people that spend there money on unnecessary things is not appropriate. We're not a communism country.

George   April 24th, 2009 11:41 pm ET

So far from what he's done, I give him an A. Plus, this is coming from someone who wanted John McCain in Office. People, just because he hasn't done what he said he would doesn't mean he can or will. Congress has the power of what he can do, not him. Plus the rumors of what he'll do a lies. The person that started them don't know that. So, I rank Mr. President with an A plus!

Anthony   April 25th, 2009 12:45 am ET

Obama has made many wrong decisions, such as putting us farther in dept.

Vanessa   April 25th, 2009 1:56 am ET

So far he's doin a good job, i only wish that he would work a lot more on the economy.

Griselda   April 25th, 2009 1:59 am ET

I don't really see anything different with the economy, but he has considered a lot of world peace.

Erika   April 25th, 2009 2:07 am ET

I would give him an A because i believe he can do better for the economy.

Vanessa   April 25th, 2009 2:10 am ET

I would give him an A+ because i believe he can and will do his best for the economy, he really cares.

Dave   April 25th, 2009 5:17 am ET

I would give him an A because he knows and understands the real meaning of profit and loss. I just want to say one thing is that the guy who knows how to spend, knows how to take back faster. For a person to handle issues intelligently and for a person to handle multi tasking is hard. For some of the people who have given low grade meaning c and d and f should go and for one day do his work and see what input it takes.

Ashley   April 25th, 2009 6:11 am ET

It's too early to grade him right now, but I picked B-C. He tried to recover the economy to published his plans. However, we don't know that he'll keep his plans or not.

karrah   April 25th, 2009 7:58 am ET

i would grade the president an A 'cause hes done a great job in the office so far!

karrah   April 25th, 2009 8:00 am ET

I would give him an A+++!=]

Jakob   April 25th, 2009 8:52 am ET

He makes our econemy go down even more! i would give him an F.

hailey   April 25th, 2009 10:57 am ET

I give him an A because he helps my daddy make more money!!!!!

Nikki   April 25th, 2009 11:48 am ET

I gave him the grade I did because he has been hypocritical; people are saying we shouldn't grade him yet, why not? It has been a hundred days, he has done a lot of stuff and so far I haven't seen good come from any of it. The economy is worse than it was before because of the stimulus packages, they haven't helped at all, Obama has more than doubled the national debt and just keeps spending. The stimulus packages have only helped government employees and AIG, plus Fannie May and Fredie Mac. He says no one is above the law but yet Timothy Geitner is made Secretary of Treasury by Obama when he himself did not pay his taxes. Apparently, you are above the law if Obama wants you to be.

ryan   April 25th, 2009 12:56 pm ET

i would give him an F because he has done this: NOTHING!
idc if he has been in office for 100 days, he hasn't done a thing but spend a gazillion $$!! I'm sure that he will improve, but as of now, I am giving him an F.

Dani   April 25th, 2009 2:03 pm ET

I gave him a C because he has gave sooooo much money to the car compaines that I get tired just watching the money being made.

Alana   April 25th, 2009 2:43 pm ET

I think Obama is not doing the job he promised us. When he said time for a change, I think he meant, lets make the middle-class people pay for the billions of dollars I gave to companies to keep them from going bankrupt.

Taylor   April 25th, 2009 3:06 pm ET

I give him a B because he had done a lot of things right and has promis to get out of the war.

Cameron   April 25th, 2009 3:35 pm ET

Our president is doing a fine job even though we are facing very hard times

Kara   April 25th, 2009 3:43 pm ET

i wouldn't be able 2 grade him exactly right now because nothing has really been accomplished or faled

Amy   April 25th, 2009 4:33 pm ET

I voted a B-C because Obama needs to focus on the economy more. Obama has done things TO the economy but not exactly FOR it. He is better than Bush though. P.S. Carl ROX!!!!!

Scott   April 25th, 2009 7:11 pm ET

I feel that President Obama has held steadfast to his ideals and principles under tremendous pressure. He has paid close attention to both domestic, foreign and international affairs. He is moving at a steady consistent pace to improve the lives of people and to encourage their personal empowerment. People need to be patient and supportive.

Shane   April 25th, 2009 9:42 pm ET

Well, I gave him the grade I did because Im not an Obama Fan. With all these bailouts its hard to know if Ill get into college. Obama is putting me in debt.

Claire   April 25th, 2009 10:11 pm ET

I'am a Canadian from Quebec. I think that President Obama is doing an amazing job, he is doing everything fervently, with generosity, with humility, always with a smile, with a great respect to everyone . Everywhere we see him, he always uses a dignified tone to address to his auditory. He is proud to be an american and for having spoken to some of your compatriots, I felt that he was inspiring pride to the american people, and I am sure...to your neighbors from Canada. He is also great with is family and I just love Michelle ! For all these reasons, I believe that he deserves an A so far.

Scott   April 26th, 2009 8:51 am ET

Economic policies will lead us into hyperinflation, because with the amount of debt we have, the Fed will continue to print more and more money. Will continue the Bush agenda and will probably invade several more countries until the empire collapses, just as Rome did.

Michelle   April 26th, 2009 8:54 am ET

I will give him a B- for now. He hasn't really fulfilled anything that he's said so far, but I know that's obviously going to take more time than a 100 days. Someone else on here mentioned FDR's quickness at getting things solved. But this is now, not then. There are way more problems going on now that were going on back then. They may be the same, but it's more difficult to handle and more time-pressing. Maybe if we didn't have such a slow and tedious process when it comes to passing bills and laws he would have more things accomplished right now. It doesn't help with the nation busting corruption all over the place and epidemics spreading throughout the states, that's just adding more to his already stacked plate that he's trying to desperately to clean off.

Holly   April 26th, 2009 9:03 am ET

I think that President Obama has done a lot in these first 100 days. He has done more to help this country than the Bush Administration has done in eight years.

Rachael   April 26th, 2009 9:56 am ET

At this point in time I give him a high B. I haven't seen much change from him yet, and I don't completely agree with the stimulus. From what I've heard, some of the money in the stimulus is going to petty things like little renovations and adding pretty things to Washington, D.C. So far, it just hasn't done much good, but maybe we just need to wait for it to take effect.

I'm afraid that he may become someone like Jimmy Carter who was a really good speaker with nice-sounding ideas during campaigning and early presidency, but in the end will either mess things up more or just make zero difference. Still, there's no way to prove that yet and he is a smart person, so I'm going to wait and see how it all pans out before truly grading him.

Kevin   April 26th, 2009 10:27 am ET

I think he is doing a good job but he really needs to work on the defense of the country. i give him a C – !

Rachel   April 26th, 2009 12:20 pm ET

It is too early to grade the president on his work, so here is his progressive report:
Effort: 23/25
Speeches: 25/25
Work: 20/25
Attitude (towards the US and other countries): 22/25

Samantha   April 26th, 2009 1:43 pm ET

I give him an A. He is doing great!

Cael   April 26th, 2009 2:55 pm ET

I would give President Obama a D. He is in too much of a hurry to try to fulfill his promises and he has not thought the decisions through well enough. To tell Congress to have a stimulus plan on his desk by President's Day was not best for our country. Items in the legislation were not only not read, but not debated. It was arrogant and a travesty by both himself and Congress to pass that bill. I believe he has taken advantage of a democratic run Congress to run through very left leaning ideology.

I think he is nothing but a photo op waiting to happen. I think he is overly handled, doesn't make decisions on his own, but relies on others to do it for him.

I am sure he is a nice enough guy, would probably be fun to shoot hoops with, but I believe he was escalated as the nominee way before his time. He has made appointments to his cabinet and high positions based on political favors, not getting the best of the best.

I wish he would just stay off of Air Force One. Our country is broke. He can't afford to run around the country for photo ops. The sad thing is, he uses excessively excessive amounts of energy to go out and make a point about saving energy on Earth Day. Does he not see the hypocrisy in that? He needs to use the available technology to do his communicating. He should sit in the Oval Office and read, read, read and get all of the information before he makes decisions. I think he is a politician first and a father second, why else would he do things like releasing memos about the CIA waterboarding, giving away our secrets, and not be thinking about the safety of his two girls? I find that very sad. He would rather say he got rid of Guantánamo Bay to fulfill a campaign promise instead of protecting his daughters.

I thnk the poll should have been A, B, C, D or F. I had to vote in the C-D category and it could get misconstrued for a C, which would have not been my intention at all.

Emily   April 26th, 2009 4:26 pm ET

I'm giving him an F. As we're in the middle of an economic crisis, he's spending more money! As we're in the middle of a serious war, he wants to release prisoners, plus take our troops out of iraq. Pres. Obama is making friends with the number one American Hater! Do you actually think shaking hands and making jokes with someone will make them our allie?

Sarah   April 26th, 2009 4:41 pm ET

Obama is meeting standards even though he still needs to pull the economy back to acceptable. I give him a "B" also because he has not withdrawn the troops from Iraq.

Amanda   April 26th, 2009 6:21 pm ET

I gave Obama an F because I strongly disagree with many of the decisions he has made, and also because of many of his beliefs in things such as abortion. I am especially concerned about the way he is dealing with the economy right now; his bail out plan may seem helpful to some at the moment, but in the long run it is only going to pull our country into deeper debt, debt that may not be paid off until our children have children.

Alanna   April 26th, 2009 7:23 pm ET

Honestly, I think Obama hasn't done to well. He hasn't made any changes what-so-ever to the economy, and, in my opinion, he has made it worse. He's spent over 80 billion dollars on things to "stimulate" the economy, but it was really just a waste of money. The bail-out wasn't a very good idea etiher, because now the businesses that got some of the bail-out are still failing and are asking for even more money! So I gave Obama a D.

Jill   April 26th, 2009 7:43 pm ET

I think everyone in the Middle East just needs to chill out I mean what's the real point in all this fighting? Not much possiitive has come out of the Taliban anyway.

Shawn   April 26th, 2009 9:28 pm ET

Obama hasn't really done anything really good yet at the moment.

Keegan   April 26th, 2009 11:09 pm ET

Barack Obama’s rise to fame is a mystery. He is an unknown, inexperienced junior senator with no accomplishments. There is no content to his speeches. He preaches change for the sake of change, but fails to explain in full how that change will be brought about. So i would give him a C- or D+.

alison   April 26th, 2009 11:12 pm ET

i have him a c-d he is doing okay but not really he needs to work hard

Sarah   April 26th, 2009 11:19 pm ET

There is a lot going on for President Obama. His plate is definitely full and it doesn't look like it will lessen any time soon. Based on where we have been and where we are going as a country I think he is doing a good job. There will always be critiques, but give the man a break...he walked into a disaster when taking office.

Jaeho   April 27th, 2009 2:32 am ET

He just ruined my family. His bailouts made my dad's salary go down by the minute. The economy is failing because of him. so I give him an F.

He has to be impeached!

Jaeho   April 27th, 2009 2:33 am ET

If there was Z-, I would have given him that.

dieukhong   April 27th, 2009 2:38 am ET

He deserves to get an A! He is a awesome president!

A   April 27th, 2009 5:18 am ET

Obama is doing a hellava better job than the guy that went back to Tx! Obama is trying to lead the U.S. back to the status of a Top Notch Economically booming country! Keep up the Great Work, Mr. President!

Suzzane   April 27th, 2009 6:31 am ET

First,he sounded as if he would be the hero of US economy like mr roosevlet,but his works dont meet many voters expectency!well,he still has a lot of time left and I expect some more deeds!

melissa   April 27th, 2009 7:00 am ET

I would give Obama a D because he made decisions that I’m not so proud of. For example he allows abortion, little baby's to get killed. The reason I'm not giving him an F is because he is at least doing something about the economy.

Joyce   April 27th, 2009 7:39 am ET

He hasn't really done anything yet. It's only been 100 days.
C for me! :)

Anonymous   April 27th, 2009 7:53 am ET

D
he hasent even talked about starting anything he promised in his eletion ,
its like voting for the school president,
they can never change anything they say they want to do
people are still getting layed off and becoming home-less
and hes getting a 2,000$ dog!
when he hes getting a mut......
wow.

Zach   April 27th, 2009 8:00 am ET

I would give President Obama a "B."

It is unfair that he is suffering for the mistakes of President Bush. I think President Obama is trying to tackle too many problems at once.

JUSTIN   April 27th, 2009 8:04 am ET

I would give him a C because I don't really like some of the decisions that he's made

Lauren   April 27th, 2009 8:04 am ET

I think he's doing a good job but he's having trouble passing his laws.

Tyler   April 27th, 2009 8:04 am ET

I give President Obama an "A" because he is going to fix this country. I think his plan to fix the economy will get us out of this recession.

BTW Carl Rocks! Love the puns. :)

Hannah   April 27th, 2009 8:04 am ET

I give Obama a B+ because i haven't really been paying attention to what hes been doing while hes president but i like Obama so i give him a pretty good grade

Joey   April 27th, 2009 8:04 am ET

I think President Obama is doing an ok job at being President, and he does have a lot of responsibility being President so I would give him a B.

Addie   April 27th, 2009 8:06 am ET

I Think that Obama is doing an okay job, but he still has not done everything he has promised to us. I would give him a C+.

DaKotA ;P   April 27th, 2009 8:07 am ET

I gave him a B because well I don't really know all the things he's done and all that were right or wrong but I think overall he's done a good job because well there isn't too much bad news I guess...So overall I think he's pretty good, except for that whole making fun of those people but not meaning to. yeah.

Rachel   April 27th, 2009 8:07 am ET

I think he's given away too much money to places that don't really need it that much

Jayson   April 27th, 2009 8:07 am ET

I gave Obama a B/C because I think he's a really good president and I think for his first 100 days in office hes done pretty good.

Ellie   April 27th, 2009 8:07 am ET

I think he's done fine but i don't really listen on a daily bases on what he says. So i would give him a B to a C because when I do hear him it's no the best choice of words.

braden   April 27th, 2009 8:08 am ET

he hasn't done a good of a job with the economy.....

josiah   April 27th, 2009 8:08 am ET

I give obama a b or c because nobody can be perfect and also obama is starting to get to work even before he had 100 days in office and he is getting right to work

Kole   April 27th, 2009 8:08 am ET

I would grade Obama as a C-B because he has been helping other countries but not make a significant change with The United States of America. Of course we need allies but our country is in a deep pit right now that needs to be filled.

Melanie   April 27th, 2009 8:08 am ET

I think that I would give him a B because he has made a lot of good decisions but there are a lot of problems in the economy still.

Kaianne   April 27th, 2009 8:09 am ET

I would give President Obama an B-C because he hasn't done the most perfect job, well he isn't expected to be perfect. But he is the President. He has said some things that weren't meant to be said.

Kota   April 27th, 2009 8:10 am ET

Obama is a great president and is planning on a lot of great changes in our country but he is also still new and i dont think he quite understand the seriousness of his job!!!!! ~kota~

Courtney   April 27th, 2009 8:10 am ET

I gave President Obama between a B and a C because I believe that he is lifting the economy slowey but surely. Our economy has obviously been very bad for a long while, and everyone should agree that it is going to take years to get our economy back on track. I think that so far he has done a really great job of crawling out of our country's debt. the reasoning for the grade I gave him was because he hasn't totally finished his job, but he has four years to do so, and already were starting to get back on track

period 7   April 27th, 2009 8:27 am ET

He doesn't deserve an F, but he needs to focus more on our economics in the United States. He is doing the best he can to patch up what Bush did to our country.

Angelica   April 27th, 2009 9:16 am ET

Obama rocks!

Andi   April 27th, 2009 9:22 am ET

I think Obama has been doing well for whats been on his shoulders. -the war, recession, n now is prolly tryin to help peoplez with the swine flu

Brittany   April 27th, 2009 9:32 am ET

I think that president Obama Is doing a very good Job, as President.
Especially because he entered his presidency In a really bad time.
Bush, really messed Everything up, and Obama was left with It all 2 Clean up. Honestly I Couldn't tell you what he has done, since he has been President, but It's A LOT Better, That Still Having Bush!

Chloe   April 27th, 2009 9:48 am ET

Personally i think that he hasn'tdone well from the start. It's dissapointing that the young americans are politically shortsighted as to say he's doing great when they don't even know what he's doing. Rebuilding the economy is a long process but after 100 days people are still losing jobs and the government's choices could've easily been much more beneficial.

Michelle   April 27th, 2009 9:48 am ET

I would give president Obama an A. I give him an A, because he is putting forth great effort in stabilizing our economy, and making our country a great place again. President Obama is trying his best, and only time will tell if he successfully does the things that he has promised. Judging by what he has done right now I say that he will be in the history books as one of our greatest presidents.

RG   April 27th, 2009 9:49 am ET

Obama has been getting some flak lately for his bailout strategy, but I think eventually it will benifit our economy. He has made most of the right decisions but needs to something about our Middle East conflict or else it will get worse! So I give him a B+.

Jessica   April 27th, 2009 9:59 am ET

i give him an F-

Emma   April 27th, 2009 10:00 am ET

I give him a F. I don't like what he is doing. Increasing school hours, just really bad. He needs to think about his country. He is horrible!!!!

Lina   April 27th, 2009 10:01 am ET

I believe the President is doing a great job. He is cultured and worldly. The President cannot please everyone b/c not everyone will agree with his decisions or actions. However, the actions and decisions he is making, so far, have been monumental. He is trying to make a difference while is in Office, to change the way the country used to do things, and trying to make the lives of Americans better. Good job Mr. President.

Marianne   April 27th, 2009 10:15 am ET

Obama has promised many great ideas, but none of them have even began to show progress. Its funny how scientists can not give a definate yes, but a politician like obama can say yes to anything. An F for now, WE NEED SOME RESULTS!!! (fast)

Ms. Outlaw's class   April 27th, 2009 10:22 am ET

We give the President an A because we believe he has worked toward creating a more peaceful world, rebuild our economy, and start programs to help all the people (like health care)! He is doing well for our country and we believe that he will continue to work hard for everyone in the US......we think he is doing awesome!!!!

david and Matt   April 27th, 2009 10:33 am ET

Obama is doing a bad job in the white house. Because he has spent trillions of dollas for nothing that is absolutely neccesary.

Debbie   April 27th, 2009 11:00 am ET

I feel President O'bama still has much to learn regarding his new position.
While he is courageous in his tackling of the economy, I disagree with his position in Iraq. While campaigning he promised to end the conflict, now it seems the war will widen into other countries. I feel he has betrayed on this issue. Also, he has made some mistakes with his nominations. A little sloppy for a head of state.

On a social level, I do feel he is trying to help the "little guy" and I do admire his efforts there.

Anonymous   April 27th, 2009 11:03 am ET

Nothing has really changed in the economy everything is staying the same so its not getting worse but its not getting better. He has a long way to go but it is still early anything can happen.

Meg   April 27th, 2009 11:05 am ET

He doesn't deserve an A just yet, but he doesn't deserve an F either. I am still shaken by the fact that the war in Iraq is still going on. I know that it's good to help others, but really, all we are doing is getting our young men and women killed. They need to hurry up and get the troops home, I have at least 4 friends who could go over. One who just turned 18 and is going into active duty. She is my best friend, and honestly I don't want to her die for her country just because the President said troops would be pulled out and it hasn't happened yet.

~BIG DAWG~   April 27th, 2009 11:19 am ET

I give Obama a big fat F!!! He doesn't know what he is doing. So ya...

Britt   April 27th, 2009 11:19 am ET

I'd give him a B.
I think he's doing a great job! but he's not perfect.

Rachel   April 27th, 2009 11:19 am ET

I give him a B because hes not doing that well but what else can he do? hes doing the best he can so i give him props for that. Being president isn't easy especially after our previous president screwed us up. Hes doing an okay job :)

Ashley   April 27th, 2009 11:20 am ET

I give president obama an F because I think that instead of helping our country he is hurting it by putting us in even more debt than what we already need. He is following the footsteps of his predecessor, president Bush. Bush destroyed our economy and our nation, and taught Obama to do the same. He has made his mistakes and they can not be fixed. Obama does not fufill his promises, instead he makes them worse.

Taylor   April 27th, 2009 11:20 am ET

I really don't know what to say about Obama. I'm sure he's trying as hard as he can to fix Bush's mistakes, and that will take a while. Over all, i think he's doing pretty good?

Natalie   April 27th, 2009 11:20 am ET

Really, I don't think we should be grading him right now. He practicly just started his time in the office. I think we should give him a month or two, before we start saying if he's doing his job right or not. And right now I don’t really see any changes in the economy. I dunno, maybe that's just me. Maybe not. But right now, he's doing what he thinks is good for people.

Mia   April 27th, 2009 11:20 am ET

I'm not sure what i'd give him. I don't really keep track with Obama or any politics. But from what i here from other people, i'd probably give him an A or a B.

penelipi   April 27th, 2009 11:21 am ET

i think that he is a good president, but he has alot to learn in 4 years. some of his disions are not helping us, but i understand he is trying to get the ecomy back up and running

Daniel   April 27th, 2009 11:21 am ET

Obama has been doing a lot of things to help the economy, but he has done somethings that don't benefit the economy.

Emily   April 27th, 2009 11:22 am ET

I would give him a c because I don't really follow the obama life and a c is average, not bad or good, in between.

tasha   April 27th, 2009 11:22 am ET

i would give him a B because hes made some good choices but hes also made some bad ones too.

Shelby   April 27th, 2009 11:22 am ET

i don't like some of the things that hes done or said hes going to do. i guess hes doing ok

Darby   April 27th, 2009 11:22 am ET

I give President Obama an F because he isn't making our ecomnomy any better. He is giving money to banks to help us but instead there helping themselves by using the money for raises. He might just as well give all the money to the banks. He needs to star helping us by giving people who cant afford there home money! He gets and F-.

word   April 27th, 2009 11:23 am ET

I would give obama a B. he's done pretty good the first 100 days. But i think he could do more things that envolve the teens. Since you kmow we are the future of america! but you know w/e. He's the el president! We will have to listen to what he says in the long run.

Chelsie   April 27th, 2009 11:24 am ET

I was one of the people that wanted him to become president but now he's wanting to add more school and take or guns, money, and all those other things. If he changed a bit of the things he's doing then I would definately give him an A.

Jack   April 27th, 2009 11:24 am ET

i think is ok but he spends our $

John   April 27th, 2009 11:33 am ET

I give him a D because, he says a lot of what we have to do and how we do it... but he needs to actually... DO IT.

frannie   April 27th, 2009 11:34 am ET

its kind of hard to grade him now but i think he is trying to do what he said he would and he's doing a good job so far

caroline!!!!   April 27th, 2009 11:34 am ET

i give him an A because he is doing really well even though we are in a recesssion!!!! go obama!!!!

Marshall and Parker   April 27th, 2009 11:35 am ET

He banned water boarding and closed guantanamo bay. That's not really the greatest idea. F.

Homie   April 27th, 2009 11:35 am ET

I gave him a A because he came into office at a crappy time, he has had to make a lot of hard decisions and i think that somehow it will all turn out good.

connor   April 27th, 2009 11:35 am ET

I would give him a B because he is doing a pretty good job but he is doing pretty bad job with the economy.

chandler   April 27th, 2009 11:36 am ET

I would give Obama a B because I think that he has handled a lot of things well. He has slipped sometimes (national TV) but has always apologized afterward. I also listen a lot to what my dad says and Obama is taxing the rich to pay for the poor. I think that is great, but a lot of the rich people might loose money.

HANNAH!!!!!   April 27th, 2009 11:36 am ET

I don't know... I think a B+ because I think he's been doing really good for our president but, there is some things that he hasn't handled that well. I really don't know.......

Anabel   April 27th, 2009 11:37 am ET

I gave President Obama an A because he is doing a lot of good things for our country and he is doing a great job.

Matt   April 27th, 2009 11:37 am ET

I gave Obama an "A" because he has started a good beginning in figuring out the problems that the United States is facing while no making it sound like to other countries that we think need help we are going to force you to do this and that. He has also gotten a great start on the global warming issues that I think will be one of the biggest issues on the list.

Kate   April 27th, 2009 11:38 am ET

I think that people are being to hard on him because the economy and all wars etc. but im sure it is not that easy the do all that but overall he is doing a good job. We need to get that it will take time.

Ben   April 27th, 2009 11:39 am ET

I think that the president is doing ok. I think he should try actually getting some of his goals done and stop talking about them, though. He also should stop bailing out companies. Like if a company is doing badly, it is probably because they made bad choices. He should just let those companies go out of business and let new and better companies take their place. So overall I would give Obama a B.

j   April 27th, 2009 11:40 am ET

I give Obama a d- because our economy hasn't changed, he is spending us into incredible debt and other things. He has closed down Guantanamo bay and made water boarding illegal. I think water boarding is bad but if you are doing it to hardened criminals who were going to blow them selves up anyways than it is justified. Especially when they are getting information. The people down at the bay discovered a plot much like 9-11 through water boarding. They were going to crash planes in to LA and other major western cities. If we had not discovered this think what might have happened. Al-Qhida operatives are not going to crack after being questioned in a dark room by a scary person. You know what scratch that he gets an F

Abby   April 27th, 2009 11:40 am ET

I think the president should get a B because yes he is doing a great job helping out the other countries. But he hasn't really been helping out our country with the problems that we have here. I'm mean he is the President
Of The United States not the President Of The Whole Freaking World!

Kesha   April 27th, 2009 12:12 pm ET

Mr. Obama has promised to help the common "man", but some of the standards for economic help are so high, that I feel that the "common man" doesn't qualify. For example, millions of Americans are out of jobs and need mortgage help, but the standard has been set at a 730 FICO score. How many Americans who are out of jobs actually have a 730 FICO score. These are unrealistic expectations for a very real situation.

Muna   April 27th, 2009 12:14 pm ET

I gave Barack Obama at B+ i would have giving him an A but until we get all the way out of the resession (how ever you spell it) i am stick with a B+

Brandi   April 27th, 2009 12:20 pm ET

I think that Obama need to figure out how to run our country.. Obama needs to spend ,oney on things we NEED.. he is wasting our money!!!

Madalyn   April 27th, 2009 12:22 pm ET

I don't see how wasting all the money on other stuff that we don't need. we shouldn't have to cut teachers at school. i thought that education was important to him..i guess not! I agree he has done a lot in the first 100 days but nothing has really happened. he switches his concerns too many times and too often. maybe if he took one thing at a time things would change. i graded him a F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bob   April 27th, 2009 12:42 pm ET

I hate Obama he is a mean bad president

Lucas   April 27th, 2009 12:46 pm ET

While I don't believe 100 days is enough time in office to judge him. I would give him an F. I cannot find anything that he has done right. He is closing guantanamo bay, opening peace talks with terrorists, bailing out banks instead of people, withdrawing all of our troops (I want them home but we need them there) , and somehow everybody thinks hes wonderful.

tyler   April 27th, 2009 12:46 pm ET

cause he hasnt done anything that efects any of us kids

Robert   April 27th, 2009 12:46 pm ET

Hey are we better off now then we were 4 years ago! I think not Mr. Obama

chris   April 27th, 2009 12:49 pm ET

i give obama an F,i dont like what he is doing

carley   April 27th, 2009 12:49 pm ET

i give him a C. he isnt doing terriable but he isnt doing anything good the only thing he has accomplished so far is buying a dog!

billy   April 27th, 2009 12:49 pm ET

:)

clayton   April 27th, 2009 12:51 pm ET

LOOK AT THE FACE! :(

tori   April 27th, 2009 12:52 pm ET

i don't think he should be so quick to bail out all of the really big companies. due to the failing economy, there are a ton of small businesses dying out,they're going out faster than the titans of industry and small businesses take a huge part in our economy. if he could channel the money in that direction, instead of the large companies, maybe things would pick up faster.

Sebastian   April 27th, 2009 12:55 pm ET

I wanted obama to win the election... but when he took office, it seems to me that he gave the government to much POWER!!! Texas thinks we should succeed, i agree, i think we should break from our bounds with the U.S. then ww might have a better government.

ruby   April 27th, 2009 12:56 pm ET

i didnt want Obama to win in the first place. i think that he is doing good, but he could do way better. i am giving him a B for the first 100 days he has been in office.

Victoria   April 27th, 2009 1:12 pm ET

I think that hasnt done a very good job so far. He has had 100 days to what he said he was going to do and he hasnt. THe financial crisis hasnt gotten better. He is trying to make us all the same. everyone gets the same amount of money regardless of how much or if they work at all. It might be a little early to grade him on his progress, but he still has to be heald responsible for what he has done so far. I give him an f becuase he has no succseeded in anything he said he was going to do. the money should go to the hardworking people of america. not the people who dont work or help the economy.

Sarah   April 27th, 2009 1:12 pm ET

I gave President Obama a C. I feel like he hasn't done too much since he has taken office. In his long long campaign he went on and on about change, but it seems the only change we have seen is negative. The economy has plummeted since he has moved into the white house. Now, I can't put all the blame on Obama, of course, but as President, I feel he has not fulfilled his obligation in trying to fix the problem. I do not agree with the bail-out he supported and enacted. I believe it was bad judgement and it won't help. Maybe Obama was just doing something to do something, not because it would really help. Obviously, what I am saying is likely to be totally wrong. Go read what the experts say. Though they might be wrong too...

Matthew   April 27th, 2009 1:13 pm ET

Seen no results in the economy, More debt for our youth, No sense on what he's doing in Afghanistan, Letting Al-Qaeda and the Taliban take over a country with an nuclear arsenal, he's dividing his country instead of working together, making us look like a fool to the world, trying to make us socialism country when over 243 we been a beacon of freedom to the rest of the world and we have been fighting communism from 1918 to the end of the cold war. Now he's trying to make us the same thing we been at war with for years. I support him as my commander and chief but I do not support his politics and ideas. I give him a F

Juan   April 27th, 2009 1:15 pm ET

its to hard to grade him because he hasn't been in office long and his just doing whats good for the economy.A+

James   April 27th, 2009 1:18 pm ET

I think the president is doing okay. I grade him with a D- because he is doing a little well with the dow jones and gas prices but he is spending more money then the country is bringing in

Bryce   April 27th, 2009 1:19 pm ET

I think that President Obama is doing good so far. He hasn't really done anything. I don't watch the news so i don't know anything that he has done. So i guess he is doing good.

Anthony   April 27th, 2009 1:19 pm ET

I dont really know a lot what he has done for this country. So i could not give him a 'A' but I can not give him a 'F' either. All i really know is that he is trying so we have to give him credit for that

olivia   April 27th, 2009 1:19 pm ET

I dont think he is doing all that he said he was, let taking down the jail in the first second he is preident.

Karlee   April 27th, 2009 1:20 pm ET

I gave president Obama an A. Only because i dotn really know whats been going on.
Although, i do know that he is doing all that he possible can to help out America, so i have to give him props for that.

Batman   April 27th, 2009 1:21 pm ET

i thiink obama is doing a terrible job because he is waving the white flag with iraq and i believe it could result in them coming over here and also closing guatanamo bay is just plain stupid thats over 100 terrorists coming into our country when their fine just where they are also trying to make the school days and years longer thats just dumb

F-!!!!!!!!!!!!

sarah   April 27th, 2009 1:22 pm ET

i think that for being president for 100 days he has done a pretty good job, and i think he wil keep doing a good job.

L   April 27th, 2009 1:22 pm ET

obama is a dumby! first of all the economy hasnt gotten better it has gotten worse! And i feel sorry for his daughters to have to grow up with secret service and everyone hating their dad, for Sash and Malias sake he nees to be better and not sign billion dollar bailouts with a ton of ear marks and what gave him the right to go in and fire that exectutive!

Anna   April 27th, 2009 1:22 pm ET

Honestly, i don't know enough about him to give him a grade. I would give him and A for being such a proud and couragous man, but i also don't know anything about politics

♥ Taylor   April 27th, 2009 1:22 pm ET

I dont think that Obama is doing horrible, sertanily doing bettier then Bush and for that matter its been 100 days you cant do that much in 100 days I think its horrible. Because most people are not going to grade him on what he has done but they are going to grade him on his color and that is ridiculouse because we are all humans and their shouldnt be racism this is america!!!!!

Kassie   April 27th, 2009 1:22 pm ET

i think that he is doing a horribale job because he rose the taxes for the rich and nt the poor

Michael   April 27th, 2009 1:24 pm ET

Even though I didn't like Obama, he is doing good for his first 100 days
B+

tyler   April 27th, 2009 1:24 pm ET

he has alot more planned out then he has accomplished so its hard to grade him. i think he is looking at it alot more simple than it is.

Sarah- Rose   April 27th, 2009 1:30 pm ET

i gave him a c-d because i really dont think hes doing a very good job. I know its hard being president for the first 100 days but i just dont like what hes turning the country into.

kathleen   April 27th, 2009 1:37 pm ET

I gave Oboama a b-c because he is working hard to give us kids and the adults what is best for our country and our commuity

forest   April 27th, 2009 1:38 pm ET

I think that Barrack Obama is doing a great job at being the President of the United States so far.

Beau b0   April 27th, 2009 1:38 pm ET

I think that he deserves about a B because the economy and other conflicts have not been fixed yet and he has tried to do some stuff but not very much I give him a B

Sean   April 27th, 2009 1:38 pm ET

Mr.Obama has done a good job as president, but my teacher says you must go good and beyond to get that A

alex   April 27th, 2009 1:38 pm ET

i will give him a B– because he is doing pretty good. ya uh huh HA!

Brittani   April 27th, 2009 1:39 pm ET

I give President Obama a D-C because he isn't dealing with the problem with the Economy so well because people still are getting cut loose because of the economy So i think that Obama better get a good start on that.

corey   April 27th, 2009 1:39 pm ET

I would give him an A+.

Colin   April 27th, 2009 1:39 pm ET

I gave him a b cuz i thought he could have done a little better and he m,aid some stupid mistakes but i still love hinm lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lop haha didnt see that one comin did u

Cailean   April 27th, 2009 1:40 pm ET

I don't think Oboma has enough experience in the office

Matt   April 27th, 2009 1:40 pm ET

i will give him a C+ because i dont think his stratagies for helping the economy are very effective, some things he's putting billions of dollars into aren't gonna help the economy very much, such as a bullet train for los vegas to disneyland that costs 8 billion, however the econemy hasn't gotten much worse so far and im happy with that.

annie   April 27th, 2009 1:40 pm ET

A, it must be hard being president, and we are doing pretty well! It's not a miracle but he trying his best!

Anna   April 27th, 2009 1:40 pm ET

I give him and A. I think that he is putting in a lot of effort, he must be really tired

Addie   April 27th, 2009 1:40 pm ET

I would give Obama a B- because i think that he is sneaking around and i don't think he is being truthful, but he is maintaining it well

William   April 27th, 2009 1:43 pm ET

I would give president Obama an F because his cabinet picks haven't paid their taxes and are blaming republican party for all their problems. He also increased the ferderal spending by passing all those stimulus bills.

morgan   April 27th, 2009 1:52 pm ET

i gave him an a because he was handed a difficult situation and i think he has done a good job.

Jamal   April 27th, 2009 1:54 pm ET

Um, I don't see why we are doing this. I don't remember anyone voting how Bush was doing after being in office for 100 days and why? Because it's irrelevant. Why are people so quick to want to evaluate Obama? Like he's going to mess something up, he's doing the best he can. Let him do his job, and stop trying to grade everything he does.

Seth   April 27th, 2009 2:43 pm ET

I gave him a B because he has chosen successful advisors from many fields and from both sides of the political spectrum.

NATHANIEL   April 27th, 2009 2:45 pm ET

BECAUSE HE HAS DONE SO MUCH IN THE COUNTRY

Dan   April 27th, 2009 2:46 pm ET

I live in England, United Kingdom and have kept a close eye on President Obama throughout his campaign and time in the White House. I believe he has done a great job in international relations and fixing the mistakes created by his predecessors. I give him an A. WEll done and keep up the good work!

terry   April 27th, 2009 2:57 pm ET

i give him a D. like how he sayed its time for a change, he hasn't change any thing so far. i don't like him and never will he will put us in more dedt and we wont be able to get out of and we will see more peole lose there jobs. Or like he said he is make new jobs for people will i haven't see any so far more people are losing there jobs then getting so that is why im giving him a D.

Elizabeth   April 27th, 2009 3:13 pm ET

i give him a b+ because he's doing well for just starting out and i think he will keep his promises. :^)

Ryan   April 27th, 2009 3:16 pm ET

Obama is a joker i think everybody should read about him on the NRA web site!

YOUR AMERICAN RIGHT TO BARE ARMS is in DANGER!!!!!
thanks Obama.

john   April 27th, 2009 3:22 pm ET

I give obama a b-c because he is working on the economy now but what about health care and homeless people.

Joseph   April 27th, 2009 3:26 pm ET

Dear Mr. Azuz,
I would give mr.obama a b-c because if he does something good something bad will happen. I think a b-c is about a far grade. Even though I am a maCcain fanI do think some ideas are good, my favorite
so far is Mr.Obama's stimulus plan. I do think he will get are econmony up and and running, My ? is when and how. see you tommrow on cnn student news.

Bill   April 27th, 2009 3:26 pm ET

I think he should deserve a D. I think that because he has amazing ideas to help the world but honestly, if you look in the future, you'll see that having more taxes on the rich and giving that money to the poor won't be a good idea because that means that the rich will become poor and no money will go to the people who were poor in the beginning and no one will get anything or the government will give them money and our country will be in debt even more than we are now.

Braden   April 27th, 2009 3:29 pm ET

he doesnt know what hes doing pulling our troops out of iraq in 2010 they will just think that we are surrendering and going home but the problems that are there will not get better if we leave just worse who ever voted for him should be banned from the polls for the rest of their life

lil   April 27th, 2009 3:30 pm ET

i give him a f-

Bill   April 27th, 2009 3:31 pm ET

I think he should get a D because he's making our country look bad. I still can't believe that he gave that woman in england the DVD's that she can't use because we're from the U.S.A when she gave him something that he could actually use. he also gave the queen of england an ipod when she gave im a pen made of wood from a ship that carried slaves. the queens 96 or something like that, you don't give a 96 year old an ipod. that's just bizzare. that's how he's making our country look bad. it's even worse because england is our true alience compared to all the other countries in the world.

mareena   April 27th, 2009 3:35 pm ET

I would give Obama an A+ because I think he is mantaining his priorities well as well as having great time manigement with his family and with people of the USA that is why I gave him the A. I give him the + because as a president you are busy and have issuess to take care of like EXAMPLES: the econy crises
the pollutiuon
the threts that we get
and much more!!!!!!!!!!
this is why I give Obama the A+

Bill   April 27th, 2009 3:36 pm ET

this isn't grading the president but carl i think you should read this. the government spent about $40,000 when bush came to office and people complained, but the government spent about $100,000 on obama and people weren't complaining then. yes he's the first african american president but i think completely rude.

Mr. Essex History   April 27th, 2009 3:39 pm ET

He promises to lower taxes and yet he continues to give out stimulus money. How can you do both at the same time and keep all of his promises.

sydney   April 27th, 2009 3:50 pm ET

president obama is doing pretty well but he can do much better .The only reason he is a little off is because of the econmy which he has to fix and also he has millions of people depending on him so he is probably under alot of pressure.

Landon   April 27th, 2009 3:51 pm ET

I would give Obama an A. I think that because Obama is doing a pretty good job with his work. I think he is a very good President. I even voted for him in our school election! (I also love his dog!)

Tyler   April 27th, 2009 3:52 pm ET

I'll probably have to give him a B or C, because he's helping the U.S as much as he can and helping other countries.I think his stimulus plans have been very helpful and is trying to have the country be as Green as
possible.

EJ   April 27th, 2009 3:53 pm ET

I gave obama and A because he is good at speech when he talks people!

Matthew   April 27th, 2009 3:54 pm ET

I think that Obama should get an a because not that hes the pres but its his 100th day of being a pres.I give him an A+he supports our schools with edcaction.If i give him an F he might get on to me.I am plaaying he is a good guy.

Katie   April 27th, 2009 3:54 pm ET

I think that Obama deserves a F because he may try but he does not try hard enough. He bowed down to a terist country that does not even like America! I think that he needs to get a grip of himself hes not God so he needs to stop acting like it.

Chanse   April 27th, 2009 3:55 pm ET

I don't like obama that much so I am giving him a F.I don't think he is good at his job right now.

Zoe   April 27th, 2009 3:55 pm ET

My Comment would be that I gave Obama b-c is because he is a good president but sometimes I don't know what he is trying to say because he uses big long words that some people don't understand. So that is why I am giving him a b-c.

Naya   April 27th, 2009 3:56 pm ET

I think Obama deserves a B because he has over come a lot of opposition and he has done so much for the enviorment. He is lowering taxes for people who age and can't work so they are able to pay there house bill and the car bill.

Estrella   April 27th, 2009 3:57 pm ET

Well I think that Obama deserves a b because he found the solution's to some problems.Not all of the problems we have in the USA are being solved.For example Carl there are people that have cancer and need help.President Obama has worked hard to help schools,people who are sick and people that have lost there jobs.

Tatum&Ashley   April 27th, 2009 3:57 pm ET

I think that Obama deserves a C because he has overcome a lot of opposition. He has also been lowering taxes for the people minimum age and who cant work and get money.

Danae'   April 27th, 2009 3:57 pm ET

I gave obama an A. Because he is very good at his job do you know how hard it is to run the country. He saved big companies, and helps are schools.

Julia   April 27th, 2009 3:57 pm ET

President Obama has to make many hard desisions just like any president would, but he appers to be making the desisions that will help our country in the long run

Jason   April 27th, 2009 3:58 pm ET

I gave Obama a C because bad things started happening after he took office, like gas prices rose and Obama was supposed to lower gas prices.

Darion and Juliette   April 27th, 2009 3:58 pm ET

We both do not believe in everything Obama does is true. Obama is right about some of the things that he does,but nobody is right about everything in the country,and everyone has a different opinion about things. Nobody's perfect so everyone has the right to share there opinion to everyone, everyone has a voice that they can use to speak out and share there opinion.

Cheyenne   April 27th, 2009 4:00 pm ET

I think Obama needs an A – B because he solves things that need to be solved. But he doesn't solve everything that need to be solved.

Callie   April 27th, 2009 4:01 pm ET

I gave the grade B-C because I think that Mr. Obama could make the world a better place. He could make shure that people do not litter.

Evalyn   April 27th, 2009 4:02 pm ET

I think Obama deserves a B because he tries his best to be a good president. I think people should give him that just because he tries. I have also heard that obama does not believe in the American flag.

owen   April 27th, 2009 4:02 pm ET

I like the stimulus package idea but realesing the prisners at guantamino bay very bad idea if it comes to safty

Angus   April 27th, 2009 4:09 pm ET

I give him a big fat F because he's shaking hands with terrorist leaders, putting my generation in debt, and a lot more. There's a lot of problems with him and the media covers it ALL up.

Aidan   April 27th, 2009 4:11 pm ET

I would give Obama a B+ because he is trying to do his best in saving the country in this economy crisis. But so far he is really starting to get back into shape. As in starting to fix what has happen past the years. so yes I give Obama a B+.

Lexi   April 27th, 2009 4:13 pm ET

I think that Obama deserves an A. He is doing all that he can to fix the economy, and, in my opinion, he has been more active in helping the country in the past 100 days than our last president has in BOTH of his terms. I really don't understand why people don't think that he is doing a good job as president.

Hannah   April 27th, 2009 4:15 pm ET

Obama’s been doing ok, he’s made a lot of promises that made him win the elections and hopefully he’ll carry them out, but it’s still early to tell.

Kyle   April 27th, 2009 4:16 pm ET

I think hes done a great job and i say keep it up.

maren   April 27th, 2009 4:17 pm ET

Obama has been doing an okay job. I think that he has done a good job with the first 100 days so far, but he has made some promises that he didn’t keep. He said that he was going to free the prisoners in the Cuba camp, but he never did. So over all he has done a pretty good job.

alex   April 27th, 2009 4:17 pm ET

i give Obama an F because he is bad and is not a gud presidente

Kelsey   April 27th, 2009 4:17 pm ET

Obama has done an okay job. He hasn't done anything that great yet. I think he has the potential to do great things. I am convinced that he will help get our troops home, help us become a solar powered nation, and fix the economy.

Alec   April 27th, 2009 4:17 pm ET

He has been doing well but he should be doing better. He shouldn’t be shaking hand with evil leaders.

Kaitlynne   April 27th, 2009 4:17 pm ET

I would probably give obama a c-d just because i belileve he is trying to do his best but to me, his best is just not good enough.

Blake   April 27th, 2009 4:18 pm ET

i have not been watching the reports, but i think he is
doing very good lately. But we will see how well he
will do in the future.

Megan   April 27th, 2009 4:18 pm ET

I gave Obama a B-C because he has done a good job choosing the right advisors and has given attention to people from both political sides. I think that our country chose Obama because we were ready for a change. Our country was being led by a Republican for 8 years until we got tired of him. I think that in a few years we will do the same thing to Obama.

Devyn   April 27th, 2009 4:18 pm ET

i gave him a B-C because he has been trying to help us but he hasn't accomplished anything.

derick   April 27th, 2009 4:18 pm ET

I would give Obama an "F" because he is trying to help the economy but it isn't working..

Cristian   April 27th, 2009 4:19 pm ET

I Gave him a B because hes doin well and by the way he shouldn’t be shakin hands with terrorist that’s bad.

Emily   April 27th, 2009 4:19 pm ET

I gave President Obama a ~B~ because he is doing very well but he has this stimulus idea and it is going to cost millions and millions of dollors coming from everyboadys wallet. You no how everyone is loosing there jobs they are not going to have any money to pay for it .But all the other things President Obama is doing well at all the other things like helping the envirment!!!!!!!!

But that is pretty much all that matters is saving the earth because if we dont it is really going to come back at us and thats the main thing he is doing well at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alex   April 27th, 2009 4:20 pm ET

i would give him a "F" because i don't think he should take the guns away other wise all those proffesional hunters that you see on tv are not going to be there any more, and also because he is just wasteing like billions of dollars and just taking more money out of the banks.

Bye   April 27th, 2009 4:20 pm ET

i think he did good and is trying really hard except he was going to close Guantanamo the first day of his presidency but now he says he will be closing it in about a year.

hi   April 27th, 2009 4:20 pm ET

I think Obama is trying really hard to keep America together. I believe that it is hard to live in the White House and to try to take care of America. I think he should just keep up the grade work.

Jayse   April 27th, 2009 4:21 pm ET

obama is not doing good.

Larry   April 27th, 2009 4:22 pm ET

It’s hard to judge someone for only 100 days. If I had to rate him I would give him a C-.First, there is some things that he has said that he would do, but he hasn’t. These things would help out our economy more. Also, he has been using money to fly to areas that he doesn’t need to, and he has been accused of doing many things that are very different and some considered bad. Hopefully things will change and he will turn our economy around, but for us being in this hard time it seems he is not making it any better.

cameron   April 27th, 2009 4:29 pm ET

dont like him

fray   April 27th, 2009 4:29 pm ET

well ,I dont know why but I just gave him b wihich is not that bad .
Becaus of I dont really know what is going on with the thing that he is doing. honestly i think he is doing good job and it is too early to grade him right now well we students get our progress report after lots and lots of work.

Lucy   April 27th, 2009 4:29 pm ET

i would give him a C because he is doing the best he can but he has made some choices that i do not like the handling of the wall street catastrophe.

john   April 27th, 2009 4:38 pm ET

The government is not a charity. They weren't meant to be in every aspect of everyday life.Local government was meant to be stronger than the inefficient nanny Federal government! I realize President Obama is not cause of this but sure isn't the cure.

anna   April 27th, 2009 4:48 pm ET

i tink that president obama is doing a good job because he has been dealing with taxes, and has been communicating with cuba. i gave him an a not just because he is popular.

Max   April 27th, 2009 4:51 pm ET

I would give Obama a A because his stimulus is doing really something good to the stocks. Also he`s trying really doing hard to keep america to get her. Another thing is people are keeping there jobs. And he is supporting small buieness.

chris   April 27th, 2009 4:56 pm ET

i think he is doing a good job helping people feel better about the economy. i think he needs to do more for the environment.

Patrikk   April 27th, 2009 4:56 pm ET

I really dont think that President Obama has solved our problems with the economic crisis that much. I'll give him C though. He has helped our country in other ways.

Noah   April 27th, 2009 5:12 pm ET

I have had faith but:
- The stimulus package is not sounding promising
- The pirates that took a captain hostage where hesitated to be killed
- Gay marriage and abortion are supported

John   April 27th, 2009 5:12 pm ET

I gave him an F. Obama just really isn't helping out at the moment. Things seem like they are changing, but it is only temporary. What Obama needs to do is stop promising things he can't keep and stop taking on multiple problems, because if he does that, we won't see things get better permanently for awhile. Just my thoughts...

Noah   April 27th, 2009 5:13 pm ET

I think presidant obama should drop the stimulus package

Noah   April 27th, 2009 5:17 pm ET

He can not take guns away!! It is our second amendments!!! You CAN NOT change that

greenbean   April 27th, 2009 5:27 pm ET

It may only be the first 100 days, but has anyone really realized that we'll be paying back all the money we got? plus interest? obama has no common sense!

Lizzy   April 27th, 2009 5:32 pm ET

I think that Obama should receive a B-C, because he's not doing the best- but he's not doing the worst. I can tell that he is trying very hard to lead America out of this hole.

Kendall   April 27th, 2009 5:32 pm ET

I gave Obama a B/C because he is not doing that great or that bad. :)

Zachari   April 27th, 2009 5:32 pm ET

I hope hes doing well but im a republican.

ryan   April 27th, 2009 5:33 pm ET

obama has done a awesome and fair job and a lot of people that obama should not be president but he did a great job

CALVIN   April 27th, 2009 5:33 pm ET

Obama is flunked by me

amy   April 27th, 2009 5:34 pm ET

he is doing a good job so fare.

Loreen   April 27th, 2009 5:34 pm ET

I think that Obama did pretty well overall, but in some areas that have to to with the economy, all I can say is that I expected mor from him as president of the united states.

Mitchell   April 27th, 2009 5:34 pm ET

Obama is doing all right although i don't like all the stimulis stuff.

ELDAR   April 27th, 2009 5:35 pm ET

Obama is sucking so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so bad i gave him a F

William   April 27th, 2009 5:35 pm ET

I think that Obama has a lot of guts trying to addres the nations economic issues. I Give him an A+!

SABRINA   April 27th, 2009 5:35 pm ET

The reason why I gave an A is because while in office, he has been well organized and on TASK!! He has only been in the White House for 100 days and he has been AWESOME in decision making!!!!! :)

Josh   April 27th, 2009 5:35 pm ET

Obama is doing ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! He wants more school i mean who wants that that is rediculous. I think i just would not go!!!!!!!! Obama is no good for the country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ryan   April 27th, 2009 5:35 pm ET

obama has done a awesome and fair job and a lot people think that obama should not be president but he will help refix the economy and make changes i give him a A++

CALVIN   April 27th, 2009 5:36 pm ET

he cant do it he is flunked again flunked

Liam   April 27th, 2009 5:36 pm ET

President Obama I thin is doing okay he has made some choices I beleive he should not have being a proud supporter of Obama he also has made some choices I think were just right for our country

lindsey   April 27th, 2009 5:37 pm ET

I think that he is changing everything so fast and things take time to fix.So I think he is not doing a very good job at all. Also some things that he said he would do he hasn't done that yet.I give a D!!!!!!!!!!!

Brennan   April 27th, 2009 5:39 pm ET

Obama is doing a horable job! He's giving money out to everyone and it's coming out of America's walet. I give him a F- – - – - – - – - – - -.

Bernie   April 27th, 2009 6:26 pm ET

I would give president obama an A- because he is doing way to much in only his first 100 days. He has like ... 800-900 more days left in the office unless he gets elected twice. He also is spending a little too much on the stimulis package. He also needed to know were that bailout money went to with AIG. Besides that, he is doing great! As he says, "Yes we can!". Making the stocks go up!

From,
Bernie

Tiff   April 27th, 2009 6:35 pm ET

Obama has done nothing but open this country up to more terrorist attacks in his first 100 days, and I think that's what we'll continue to see from him. From closing Gitmo, to bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia. I say F.

Jade   April 27th, 2009 6:35 pm ET

I don’t think Obama is doing a very good job, he is smart but I just don’t think that his ideas are going to work. Maybe he will do good, but for right now I give him an "F". I don't like that he's making friends with terrorists and that all of this stimulus money is going to come right back at us and we will have a bigger problem then before. If things turn out better (which I don't think) I will take all of this back. Let us all hope that I'm wrong

Guy   April 27th, 2009 6:51 pm ET

He really hasn't been a bad president or a particularly good one. He has just helped our country go down the same path it has been going down for over a year now. Honestly, I don't feel a difference in the country since he has taken office.

COLIN   April 27th, 2009 7:02 pm ET

i give him a big d becuase people are saying that he is spending OUR money stupidley and i really dought that people want THAT to happen.

Addy   April 27th, 2009 7:09 pm ET

I think he is working on really making a difference and truly cares about the American People.

Ariana   April 27th, 2009 7:12 pm ET

I think Obama is doing all he can for us. Obviously he has said he is going to put forth an effort to do some things he hasn't done yet, but we got ourselves into this mess and it didn't happen overnight. So why should it be fixed overnight? I give Obama an A.

Matthew   April 27th, 2009 7:12 pm ET

I think That Obama should get an A++++++

Austen   April 27th, 2009 7:38 pm ET

President Obama is a socialist and a communist he has taken more power over the countries private sector in 100 days than any president has done in four years, and what is wrong with capatilism? We should not give money to freeloaders who are sucking this country dry. So i give him an F

Nick   April 27th, 2009 7:47 pm ET

I think that his grade is an F because I think he is the reason that we are in this depression.

DEAN   April 27th, 2009 7:54 pm ET

I gave Obama an D because he has done some good for our economy but hasn't done much for the war on terror. But why is he trying to give Lebanon and other countries money we dont have.

LOLA   April 27th, 2009 7:54 pm ET

I think he is an ok pres. i like he way he is taking action on the environment but the thing with the business was a terrible idea (no offense) but other than that you r a cool pres.

Becca   April 27th, 2009 8:02 pm ET

I give President Obama a C. He is only just passing by. So far, he has raised taxes for many people. So far the economy has not gotten better, and money has been waisted on things that are not what we need to be focusing on to get out of this recession.

Becca   April 27th, 2009 8:05 pm ET

I give President Obama a C. He has raised taxes for many people and has given money from our wallets to causes that are not as important as other things during these hard times. To get out of the recession, the government needs to stop spending so much money and stop putting our country into even deeper debt.

Abigail   April 27th, 2009 8:14 pm ET

I don't think President Obama is a terrible person, I just think he has terrible policies.

Sam   April 27th, 2009 8:38 pm ET

Barack Obama has done a fine job in these past few months as president. In a terrible economy, he has still managed to start new projects and engage in overseas activity. Obama is a symbol for new prosperity. Barack Obama, you have an A.

Claire   April 27th, 2009 8:40 pm ET

I think that obama is doing a great job. he could work on some things, like the economy and stuff. i love obama. i hope that he has fun with his new dog. he does an awsome job in lots of stuff. especally focusing, and on task to! i would give him an A++++++++++++++. GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!

angelica   April 27th, 2009 8:40 pm ET

I would grade mr.OBAMA in a because he is try to help us and i think we should go with his plan

AJ   April 27th, 2009 8:40 pm ET

I think Barack Obama need's to focus more on our Recession not the Swine Flu, it's something that New York and Mexico need to deal with, Seal off that part of the city blah blah blah. If we don't get out of this Recession we will be just like in the 1930's Great Depression. Making Tomato soup with water and ketchup. mmmmm delicious.

Carey   April 27th, 2009 8:42 pm ET

I think that Obama is doing stuff that is going to turn out horribly in the future! I would give him a D.

karan   April 27th, 2009 8:48 pm ET

i gave him and b to c becuse he have done nothing to help are disperet times and 100 day past

Max   April 27th, 2009 9:05 pm ET

obama is deserving a f from me he is just not the right person for this country

Natalie   April 27th, 2009 9:28 pm ET

I don't see any changes in the economy. Its hard to grade him higher than a C because I don't see any improvements. If things start to change in a good than maybe I will show him a little respect.

MJ   April 27th, 2009 9:46 pm ET

I think that Obama is doing great!he's working very hard and covering many issues. He also is communicating with the public about the country's state. Bush didn't do that. He's also traveling abroad and meeting with many leaders. Bush didn't do that. Some of Obama's methods may not be working yet, but I don't think 100 days is enough for his long-term plans. Its not enough to judge a president, either.

I give him a B+.

Nathan   April 27th, 2009 10:05 pm ET

I think he is not doing a very good job because he is democratic and thinks abortion is okay. I am totaly against it and was hoping that Mc Cain would win but Oh well.

Teeajha   April 27th, 2009 10:36 pm ET

I gave the preasadent an A becuse i think he is doing a great gob by working out the whole world. He is doing soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!

brennan   April 27th, 2009 10:38 pm ET

so far obama's vocabulary consist of last 8 years, inheritance, and previous administration. all he does is blame blame blame and has spent more money than bush has in his first 100 days than bush has in his full 8 years!!! not to mention he orders gitmo bay prison to be shut down. boot him out America while there's still time!!!

robby   April 27th, 2009 11:28 pm ET

me personnally i gave obama an f for a few reasons, the first one being ...
hey hows the economy still getting worse, hes not even fixing it , 2 he needs to stop being a glory hog ,...
hey what happened to B
iden, Idont know,
lastly he needs to stop being a kissup..

than again this is just my opinion ..
thing is its true...................

Marcus   April 27th, 2009 11:32 pm ET

The presidents plans make sense and seem like they can help the American people, we'll have to wait and see.

Katherine   April 28th, 2009 12:00 am ET

Obama has done alot in his first hundred days, but its all been bad!!! He and congress might not have to worry about high taxes, but we do!!!! He really needs to get his act together. Almost every decision he has made was bad in my opinion. I gave him an F-!!!!!

Grace   April 28th, 2009 2:47 am ET

I gave Pres. Obama a B-C because while he is spending lots of money trying to help the American economy come back, he is doing it at the expense of our national debt. I like that he's trying to work with other countries to try to help their economies and ours and improve international relationships.

Americo   April 28th, 2009 4:12 am ET

My hours have been cut for the last 2 months, I'm struggling to pay my bills, I'm not sure I will have full time work any time soon, yet watching my recording of inauguration day is the one thing that always picks me up when I'm down. Thank God I was there on Inauguration Day to see my president sworn in.

dave   April 28th, 2009 4:51 am ET

Well I would say that time talks then the president because guess what maybe he wants to do thinks for us right now at this very min but he can becz it takes time and money to. one thing i like the most in him is that he has a plan.

larry   April 28th, 2009 6:47 am ET

I want to grade President Obama, after the first 4 years. I believe he is doing what he said he was going to do (during the debate for President) beside its only 100 days. I fell i can trust HIM MORE THAN THE FORMER ADMINISTRATION. He has more respect around the world than the FORMER ADMINISTRATION, (HEADS OF STATE & JUST REGULAR PEOPLE.) GAVE HIM A CHANCE, HE WILL STUMBLE BUT NOT FALL.

Jesse   April 28th, 2009 6:56 am ET

I give Obama an A-, i understand raising taxes to get us outta of this recession, but don't just hand it out to EVERYONE who claims they need the money. Obama you are doing just fine, keep it up.

Aaron Mc.   April 28th, 2009 7:53 am ET

obama hasnt done what hes been saying. he said he was bringing troops home but he just moved them to afghanstan.he deserves an F

alex   April 28th, 2009 8:04 am ET

I think it's too early to grade him since he hasn't gotten anytime to fix anything yet. But if I had to grade him it would be B+ because he's done everything in his power but he could do better.

Ben   April 28th, 2009 8:05 am ET

I would give him a b- so far. i think that he is doing an ok job and that things will get better as they go on. I also think that he is changing things too quickly but it will take time to get things right. I also think that he shouldn't be bailing out aig when they give the other people bonuses, but thats just my opinion because that's our money they are giving away. So overall i give him a b-

Nattlez   April 28th, 2009 8:05 am ET

I think that president Obama is doing good because it does not take one day to everything that he wants to do, it takes a lot longer than that, so the things that he has done in the first 100 days is a really good start to what he can do in the future, and he had 4 years so this is a good start

Espen   April 28th, 2009 8:05 am ET

He is the president, and that is usually considered a big job. But compared to a lot of the past presidents who actually acomplished something I say he gets an F.

Anonymous   April 28th, 2009 8:05 am ET

I give him a F he is not doing anything to the us the is all talk he dose not do anything for us or the USA for the war the is not doing anything the is jest talking not doing he need to start doing the things he says are good ideas but jest do what you say

Tori   April 28th, 2009 8:06 am ET

i think that Obama is doing an o.k job not really the best things are happening so fast

Paige   April 28th, 2009 8:07 am ET

I would probably give president Obama a B- a C because He is raising the taxes, and some people won't get there income taxes they would have to pay. Also I understand that he hasn't found out what is going on with the swine flu, but still some people probably don't wan't to get it. That is why I give president Obama a B- aC.

Moira   April 28th, 2009 8:08 am ET

I'm not sure because I haven't really heard about him taking any action. I wouldn't know what to give him if I don't know what he's been doing.

Shae   April 28th, 2009 8:08 am ET

I think that president Obama is doing well i mean it must be really hard to run a country that is doing so poorly and also our country is not entirely corrupt we are still here living and breathing so mi give Obama a A if not a A+...... :-)

Quinn   April 28th, 2009 8:08 am ET

I would give him a B+ because hes done great so far but there are some things he should have that he didn't.

Hannah   April 28th, 2009 8:08 am ET

I give him a B. I think he's been doing an alright job, but i think he could do better. But it's only been 100 days we should give him time and i think he will do better.

molly   April 28th, 2009 8:11 am ET

I think that we should wait a little longer because it is harder to grade him in just 100 days but i think he is trying very hard and i think that he is trying really hard to fix the economy and the flu thing and i think so far he is going pretty good and i would give him a b-c.

Jonathan   April 28th, 2009 8:18 am ET

I think Obama’s doing a great job as president. Yes, it is true that we have yet to see any real increase in the global economy, but you can’t win wars overnight. All things take time and this stimulus package does as well. Not to mention he is handling the swine flu pandemic quite nicely. He also had to step into some pretty big shoes. Bush left the world in shambles, crisis in the middle east, economy is breaking, boarder control worse than ever. Now Obama has to pick up the pieces of Bush’s past mistake which will be no easy job.

amirah   April 28th, 2009 8:26 am ET

I chose to give President Obama a B. For the grade I have some reasons as to why I gave him that. First of all, President Obama is handing money out to everyone that needs it which is morally ok but not economically ok. His stimulus plan is going down the drain. Obama is trying to make everyone happy, but as a president he knows he can’t!

James   April 28th, 2009 8:28 am ET

I think Obama gets what I gave him because all he has been doing is spending money and asking for more money to spend. Our National Debt has just been increasing. When Clinton and Regan were president out National Debt has decreased steadily and efficiently over the course of their terms. Now our National Debt has only increased.

JadeSC   April 28th, 2009 8:58 am ET

Obama is terrible I gave him an "F". He really needs two thousand "F's"

Jess   April 28th, 2009 9:15 am ET

I would definitely have to give him an F. He has not helped the economy at all by spending trillions of dollars – he is just getting the U.S. into more debt. And lifting abortion laws and trying to pass FOCA? That is completely out of line! And health care? Excuse me, but this nation thrives on private heatlh care, not universal. Universal health care is incredibly inefficient. Under this system, doctors are not paid as much, so they are most likely not as skilled because there is no one to compete with. And trying to make friends with terrorists that completely hate the U.S. beyond reason? These people have marches and chant how they hate Americans and want to kill us...I don't think it's such a good idea to be good buddies with these people. So I give him an F, but if I could, I would grade him lower.

Theresa   April 28th, 2009 9:15 am ET

I give him an F. He is putting our generation in debt with his wasteful spending and doing nothing to help our country. Also, he is overturning restrictions on abortion; his advocacy of this murder will allow millions of more innocent children to be killed and millions more women to be scarred every year, and that's simply disgusting. I can't support or be satisfied with a president that will knowingly and willingly allow the murder and suffering of his own people.

SJSW4thgrade   April 28th, 2009 9:19 am ET

Our class voted to give Obama an F because:
1. He hasn't done a lot to help the recession. The big bailouts aren't helping, they are only making it worse.
2. He is stealing our tax money and giving it to other people.
3. He hasn't taken firm action on many controversial issues.
4. He's sending more troops to Iraq instead of ending the war..
5. He's not concerned enough about drugs.
6. He hasn't done much to protect our country.

Evan   April 28th, 2009 9:22 am ET

It has only been his hundredth day in office so for those of you people saying that he is not doing a good job give him some slack. He is doing his best to find solutions for all of the problems in the U.S. (There are a lot more problems in the U.S. then you think). For those of you that keep saying Obama hasn't done a good job i give him an F put yourself in his place then lets see who's the one complaining and getting F's from people.

Mandy   April 28th, 2009 9:23 am ET

I'd give him a B-. But I have to give him some credit. Somebody who wants to be elected during this horrible economy has gotta have some guts, and a plan to fix everything. He has four years to take care of this country, and I'm sure that he'll fix everything in time. But so far, he hasn't made the best choices (the bailout money...) and that's why I give him a B-.

chris   April 28th, 2009 9:23 am ET

My mom said if i cant say anything good dont say anything at all and Obama is........

Meghan   April 28th, 2009 9:24 am ET

Obama has done a pretty good job in his first 100 days in office. Being the president of the US has a learning curve. Obama caught on fairly fast. Overall i think President Obama a B+. He has done a really good job and I think that he might be able to turn our economy around. All he has to do is keep it up.

Gabi   April 28th, 2009 9:25 am ET

I don't think Obama is doing a good job because all he is doing is putting the generations to come in a very large debt. I think he needs to make more jobs like FDR did during the Great Depression. I think his first 100 days in office will not be his best. But, I think he is also put in a very hard position for president.

Yana   April 28th, 2009 9:25 am ET

I think he's doing good right now. He's trying his best and i can see that he's putting all of his effort into the economy stuff. I mean he was only 100 days in office, thats's not enough days to already give a vote. I think maybe a few more days to see his point of view on the country will change our minds later. But yes, the economy is lacking down right now, but Obama seems like a positive president, and our country needs a postive side. So, a "B" is a good grade for him right now.

Harrison   April 28th, 2009 9:27 am ET

Hello I completely disagree with everything Obama has done so far. The stimulus might sound good for the next 2-3 years but when the money gets in the economy the inflation will just go up; and when our age has to pay taxes we all have to pay the consequences of his mistakes we will have a debt and situation worse than the economic meltdown that we had this year. Also spending more money than anyone in history and blaming Bush for everything is not going to fix our problems. Our country has had a democracy and capitalist government for over 200 years and was a world power, switching to a socialist government has never worked for any country our size look at USSR and Cuba???????

Evan   April 28th, 2009 9:27 am ET

It's not his fault that when he got swept into office the economy was terrible and there was a war in Iraq. How would you like it if you got swept into office with problems that are here and there. For those of you that think he is doing terrible lets see you try to find solutions for these problems and make everyone happy 24.7

Jordan   April 28th, 2009 9:28 am ET

So far, Obama has done really well as president. Although I'll admit he has wasted some cash on giving money to everybody, I still think that this will turn out to be good in the future.

Kacey   April 28th, 2009 9:31 am ET

I gave him a D because first he is going back on a lot of things that he said he wouldn't do. The Bailouts are just to much. It is impossible for everyone to succeed and that's what he is trying to do. Even the money from the stimulus package isn't even getting back to us. $50 million is going for new TSA uniforms!!!! That doesn't go in a stimulus package. He always complained on how George Bush spent so much money, but he plans on spending more (while supposedly not raising taxes). I do like how he wants wind energy and how he is handling Afghanistan.

Jordan   April 28th, 2009 9:32 am ET

Sorry, I forgot to grade him! :/
A++++++++++++++++++++
I'm smart..........

sierra   April 28th, 2009 9:44 am ET

obama deserves an a for all the hard he does for us.

christina   April 28th, 2009 9:46 am ET

I think its kinda hard to chose because obama has made good choices in life and its hard to be president and too control the whole world and make the right choices. I would vote A

ALEX   April 28th, 2009 10:40 am ET

i think the president is doing a great job and it's not like many of us can do better he's doing the best he can we shouldn't insult him i think he should get an A

Kaitlyn   April 28th, 2009 11:12 am ET

The first hundred days are usually filled with nothingness, but Obama has handled some things well. I'd give him a B. You can not really judge a person until you see their personal side. But for his work, he has calmed the nation, and that deserves a lot of credit! Though I'm not Democratic, It doesn't matter, because he is EVERYONE'S President!

Gump   April 28th, 2009 11:17 am ET

I gave him a C-D because he is lying to America, stealing our money, and making school longer.

Taylor   April 28th, 2009 11:18 am ET

Uhh...I don't really know anything about Obama. I guess he's doing a good job? But I don't really watch or care about politics. The only thing I think is that he is changing things really fast...so yeahhh...I guess I give him a B or a C

Josie   April 28th, 2009 11:18 am ET

Obama is doing a great job. Being president is a very stressful job and he is handling this place of power very well.

Jazzy   April 28th, 2009 11:19 am ET

The reason i gave him a C-D because he really haven't done anything. But he is trying to do what we need and what they can do.

Tori   April 28th, 2009 11:19 am ET

Obama is doing bad bad bad .

melissa   April 28th, 2009 11:21 am ET

I'm not racist i just don't think the world is ready for an african american president or a femal president. In fact i don't even think President Obamba is ready to be president himself. People say he is trying to stop the war then why are the tropps still in Iraq? They also say he is trying to stop people from losing their jobs. so why are people still losing their job? I don't think we shouldn't imeditaly trust obama's judgement quite ye.

Meagan   April 28th, 2009 11:22 am ET

Obama got a D from me because he is giving out taxpayers $$$ like crazy with no thought to the negative impact it is having on common folk

he has spent sooooooooo much
but hey we cant blame him he clearly has NO experience.!!!

Koller's Class   April 28th, 2009 11:22 am ET

Obama is trying to do a lot of things in a short amount of time. He has done some well, on other things he has made mistakes.

Wolverine   April 28th, 2009 11:22 am ET

I think that you get the grade i gave you because you would have an A if you would make school only 4 days long!

Oscar   April 28th, 2009 11:22 am ET

Given the fact that he's only been in office for 100 days, it might be too soon to judge him. I don't think he's bad.

iron man   April 28th, 2009 11:22 am ET

i give you a d because your trying to make school longer.

Anonymous   April 28th, 2009 11:22 am ET

i think that obamas concerns is what gives him a decent grade i actually would give him a C but hed have to be really lucky to get a B- out of me. and an A, ha! that man better have a plan to turn our country around

Holly   April 28th, 2009 11:23 am ET

Obama is what needs to change. He keeps talking about how america will change with his help, but he's giving dollar after dollar after dollar away! Eventually it will come out of my pocket, my friend's pocket, my family's pocket...Everyone will have to pay for his inexperience.
His inexperience is to blame.

Mr. Tobin's Class   April 28th, 2009 11:25 am ET

We all think that President Obama could have done better during his first 100 Day's. We also think that Carl's puns deserve to be graded. We give them an F!

Mr. Perez's History Class   April 28th, 2009 11:29 am ET

We do not feel that his foreign policy and friendly approach towards dictators will help the United States interest. His meetings with the Castro brothers, and is friendliness towards Mr. Chavez has lost him lots of creditability with a large number of people who voted for him. Cuba has nothing to offer the U.S. and we should not compromise our ideology by dealing with countries that violate human rights. Don’t overlook that the Castro brothers were in charge during the missiles crisis, and emptied out their prisons and mental institutions in the street of Miami in the 80’s. This is why many of us rate Obama very low. He said that he would not sit and have tea with the Castro’s but did even more than that. He’s off to a bad start.

Grace   April 28th, 2009 11:32 am ET

I think he's about average because this is one of the first presidents that I really remember well so far. He hasn't done anything bad, but he hasn't done any exciting changes. So he's about average.

Aidan   April 28th, 2009 11:33 am ET

I gave Obama a B-C because although he is being active in all of the areas that he has to cover, he isn't doing anything fast. It feels to me like he's taking it slowly right now, he should speed things up and stuff.

GWENNN!!!!   April 28th, 2009 11:33 am ET

I THINIK OBMAMA RULZZ!!! WOOP WOOP BUT HE HASNT DONE THAT MUCH AT ALL HAHAHA SOO YAAAA!!

Dirt Diver   April 28th, 2009 11:34 am ET

I think he deserves a c because he hasn't helped anything just weakened our country

ALLISON & HALEY!!!!!!! :D   April 28th, 2009 11:34 am ET

OK FIRST HE MADE A COMENT TOWARD MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE!!! which wasnt right! we know it was a accident but he should think before he opens his big mouth!!! and he thinks he can change the world super fast, but no thats not how it works!!! he needs to take thing slow! WE GIVE HIS GRADE A D-!!!!!! :(

Sean   April 28th, 2009 11:35 am ET

The president was talking about how everything would be better. Has it? NO! I mean, everything' s so bad. He said it would be great soon, but its not. Another thing. Instead of placing a ban on going to Mexico to prevent the swine flu from entering the U.S., all he did was urge people not to. He's obviously not trying.

izaak   April 28th, 2009 11:35 am ET

I think that president Obama is doing great in the office because he is doing great on the war on iraq and other stuff but the swine pandemic he should really crack down on. :D :D but your still doin great Obama!!!

Matt   April 28th, 2009 11:36 am ET

I would give him a B because he has fixed some of the problems. Some of the things that he said he would do he has not yet. We still do not have our troops back yet.

Eliza   April 28th, 2009 11:37 am ET

I gave Obama an "A" because I think he is doing a really good job making decisions for our country. Like advising people not to go to Mexico because of the Swine Flu. But if the flu gets really bad I think he should not allow people to go to Mexico at all. I hope he makes the right decision! :D :D :D

Maya   April 28th, 2009 11:37 am ET

I think that Obama deserves a A- because he's doing his best even though being the President of the United States is a really hard job. He gets a lot of criticism but really it's a lot of pressure and you can't change your country completely in 100 days. So far I think he's off to a good start and he's doing pretty well.

Elena   April 28th, 2009 11:37 am ET

I gave Obama an A because so far he has had some good ideas about things like trying to sort out, and not suggest people to go to Mexico because of the swine flu, which could really affect people in America. He has given hope to lots of people, and I think other places respect America more now that they see we have a good leader!

Abby   April 28th, 2009 11:38 am ET

I gave Obama a B. He is trying, that is plain to see. I think some of the comments that some people write are a bit too harsh. He is only human! He has worked hard to fix our economy and help banks. I think that AIG is doing a terrible job and Obama is getting blamed for. The comment from SNL about the Special Olympics was uncalled for. I think Obama could be a bit more careful about what he says and what he does, think before you jump! B- for Obama. He could try a bit harder, but nice work so far.

Quagmire's Class   April 28th, 2009 12:02 pm ET

We think that Obama has done a very good job making very difficult decisions during this hard economic time. However, we are still unsure about what the consequences for these decisions will be.

Kevin   April 28th, 2009 12:05 pm ET

I would give the president a B+ because he has been doing a good job in our country, and he also is a hard worker.

Melissa   April 28th, 2009 12:08 pm ET

I give Obama an A. It's only the first one-hundred days and it seems like he's already making a great effort to get our country out of the recession. It really isn't fair to say he's doing a bad job because we haven't really seen the outcome of his plans yet.

Angie   April 28th, 2009 12:19 pm ET

I think hes done a good job.
I mean hes only been there for a little, and he can't make things happen over night. I'm pretty sure he is doing the best he can to make everything better. We need to step in his shoes, Being president is not an easy job.

all   April 28th, 2009 12:21 pm ET

I think that Obama is a very good president and so far is making well planning very good changes. Obama may be disliked by some people but to me Obama is giving the United States a break. I'm a U.S citizen with parents who are immigrants and scared that some day my parents will be sent back to Mexico because they don't have papers and well my parents to me are the best and i need them to support me and i'm happy that Obama went to Mexico to let immigrants know that he will make change happen. Im currently an 8th grader who wants success.

LIzzie...   April 28th, 2009 12:21 pm ET

I honestly don't think Obama is doing a good job. He is puting us back in the hole, and back in debt. He is giving away so much money like it's a used toy. I don't think it's right. Agree to disagree, i don't care i just want some one to give us a better future.

Macy   April 28th, 2009 12:23 pm ET

I think you should stop the wars and bring peace to the world. I also think you should have lumberjacks stop cutting down trees. You know we are animals too. We are mammals. I give you an B+

Violet   April 28th, 2009 12:23 pm ET

I voted b-c because he is sending more people to Irac. My brother wan'ts to go there some day.

ADRIANA   April 28th, 2009 12:25 pm ET

WELL I THINK THAT OBAMA IS DOING A GREAT JOB I MEAN I FEEL THAT THE PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH THEM ARE FORCING TO DO WHAT HE SAID THE THING IS THAT WHY DIDNT THEY DO THAT TO BUSH I FIND THAT RACES BUT I GUESS ANYWAYS I STILL THINK THAT OBAMA IS DOING GOOD HOPE HE STILL DOES AND HOPE THAT HE CAN HELP ALL THE IMMIGRATES FROM MEXICO.

Madi   April 28th, 2009 12:32 pm ET

I think he could do better! I would give him a D.

Stuart   April 28th, 2009 12:38 pm ET

I seriously think Obama is not making good choices and is too timid. he's trying to do everything at one time and it is not helping. He's also not acting like a president. He's too soft and is not making good choices. He came in with so much promise and now people are scratching their heads and wondering, ' why did I vote for this loony?'

kylee   April 28th, 2009 12:43 pm ET

i gave him an F

Charlie   April 28th, 2009 12:44 pm ET

President Obama is not helping this country. Now all he is doing is spending money for no reason. I think he is trying but not near hard enough.

Halecrest 3rd Grade   April 28th, 2009 12:46 pm ET

He is the best President in the world! Hooray Obma. You're going to make history.

Matthew   April 28th, 2009 1:08 pm ET

I REALLY don't agree with Obama. As of a few days ago, he shut down a shipyard project in Virginia, a project my Dad was working hard on (and was going to get good money for it). If you ask me, Obama hasnt done a good job at all.

Chaise   April 28th, 2009 1:16 pm ET

I guess i would rate him as ok....... he has done some major changes

John   April 28th, 2009 1:18 pm ET

Obama is doing a real good job but I think I would have to give him a B because he's not the best president but he is in the top ten on my list.

Danielle   April 28th, 2009 1:18 pm ET

I give him a F. Only because he is taking all our money and giving it to the iraq's.

Ruby   April 28th, 2009 1:18 pm ET

Prez. Obama has tried his best to get us out of this mess. i think he deserves an A, for his hard work, and maybe a B, for how he's working on this problem

Cody!!!!!!!   April 28th, 2009 1:19 pm ET

I would give Obama a D+ he has a good pupace and but he put america more in dept

S@dies   April 28th, 2009 1:21 pm ET

I would give Obama a C to D he isn't doing so good. Git it on dude. Do better then the other one.

S@der's   April 28th, 2009 1:25 pm ET

Obama really is trying on this he might not do well. We still love you Obama. Good try. Keep it up.

Cailie   April 28th, 2009 1:29 pm ET

Ok just give Obama a break all ready he has only ben in office for 100 days he can only do so much at a time. I mean he can't change the world in a couple months. People just give him time. TIme is all he needs. He still has years to change the economy. i don't think Obama started this Bush did.

Cailie

junior   April 28th, 2009 1:33 pm ET

well obama is a beast the baes pres we ever had go obama

Adam   April 28th, 2009 1:34 pm ET

I think that theres not enough time to tell what kind of job hes done i gave him a b

michael   April 28th, 2009 1:35 pm ET

he is a good man fan think he sould get a A that to me but i put him a F

Veyo   April 28th, 2009 1:35 pm ET

he is doing awsome and trying his best to keep all his promises

Mikayla   April 28th, 2009 1:35 pm ET

I dont think Obama has done that great of a job. I mean hes better than some of the president, but he is not the best. Not even close. I gave him a C-D.

junior   April 28th, 2009 1:36 pm ET

obama gets an a+++++++++++++

Kindsay   April 28th, 2009 1:36 pm ET

I think you are doing a fantastic job keep doin what is the best for our country.

YOU ARE ROCKIN THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

devan   April 28th, 2009 1:36 pm ET

I think you are the beat president even.

Taylor   April 28th, 2009 1:36 pm ET

I think Obama is the greatist president. I gave him an A.

Kiera   April 28th, 2009 1:36 pm ET

I think he is a really good president and knows what he is doing.

Jo   April 28th, 2009 1:37 pm ET

I give him an A because he's doing a great job, he's the first black president and adjusting well to being a leader, he is going to save America from our own Economy and he rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chazden   April 28th, 2009 1:37 pm ET

I think he is trying to do much at one time. he is also not being fair to middle class people..

Aaron   April 28th, 2009 1:37 pm ET

All of his plans to help the economy have not worked and I think that McCain should have been the president because he knows more about war because he has actually been in the Vietnam War. Obama should come up with plans that actually work. I give Obama an F

Gimme   April 28th, 2009 1:38 pm ET

Well i like Obama a lot but, truly i think he is doing exactly like President Bush so i feel like he is just a copy. Sorry!

fi   April 28th, 2009 1:38 pm ET

Obama i think is doing exactly what he is supposed to be doing, you can't expect him to fix the economy in 100 days. he is doing PERFECT!
obama 09

josh   April 28th, 2009 1:39 pm ET

I voted f cuz he actually hasn't helped us at all when you think about we have gone down majorly I'm not saying I hate obama we should give him a little longer but i mean nobody see's that everything he has done has brought the country way down.

Drew   April 28th, 2009 1:39 pm ET

President Obama is a good president but he could change differnt things then what hes doing now

Katlyn   April 28th, 2009 1:39 pm ET

Well, I think he is doing a good enough job. I don't really watch the news all the time to know what he is doing, but I hear from people that he is doing a good job, especially better than Bush so far. So yeah, I think he is doing a B-C. (:

Katie   April 28th, 2009 1:39 pm ET

I think that Obama is doing a good job in office so far . I think that trying to talk with Mexico is a really good idea because if we can become "friends" with them then I think that there is a less of a chance that they would try to bomb us or something like that .

kasia   April 28th, 2009 1:39 pm ET

president obama your a fabulous president there is no other president that can take over your spot so thats why i gave you a A and if there were a A+ i would give you that trust me if i had to rate you from numbers 1 through a 100 i would rate you as 100 because your an awesome president im glad you got voted but just to let you know keep your head up dont listen to other people out there thats talking about you and saying your a bad president because you still have people around the world who thinks your a reat president well thats all i wanted to comment you about your doing a very good job obama keep your head up dont let it fall GOD BLESS AMERICA!

clark   April 28th, 2009 1:40 pm ET

I give obama an E.F. for Epic Fail because his ideas have failed.

♥ Sophie ♥   April 28th, 2009 1:40 pm ET

:( .........F!

Kaitlyn   April 28th, 2009 1:40 pm ET

I don't think that everyone should judged Obama right now just because it is hard to tell if someone is doing a good job in just a hundred days. He is doing a okay job right now but he has made a lot of promises and is spending A LOT of money in trying to bring up in the economy. Well it is good that he id doing something and not just saying that everything is fine but he still could do better

T@ylor   April 28th, 2009 1:40 pm ET

i think that president Obama deserves an A+ for all his hard work.
keep on Rockin Carl!!

Rampage   April 28th, 2009 1:41 pm ET

I think he is horible.

Lea   April 28th, 2009 1:41 pm ET

I'd give him like a B because he hasn't done a perfect job but hes doing okay................. :P

Landon   April 28th, 2009 1:41 pm ET

I have two opinions, first I would like to to say somthing about Obama. I think that he needs to stop borrowing money from other countries that are puting us in even more debt and he needs to stop giving out so many bailouts and he has already spent more money than Bush on things we don't need! I would also like to comment on the problem going on in Pakastan. With the Talaban moving in, this is what the U.S has been looking for. We will probaly make this as an excuse to move in to Pakastan which will not help.

David   April 28th, 2009 1:43 pm ET

I think Obama should do a better job for being president. A whole lot of people don't even like him. I'm thinking that he won't even make being president after his first term. Further more, he should do a lot more things in Iraq than just telling us what he is going to do. He shouldn't tell, he should do it. Obama focuses more on our economy than war. And Mccain was doing the opposite. I think we should have a president who should end these problems soon like Franklin D. Roosevelt. I think Obama should be more like Roosevelt. And also, Obama should stop borrowing money from other countries and now we have to pay debts to the government.

kasia   April 28th, 2009 1:45 pm ET

KEPP UP THE HARD WORK OBAMA, AND ITS REALLY NICE THAT YOU GAVE YOUR SWEET ADORABLE LITTLE GIRL A PUPPY BUT HAVE FUN IN THAT BIG HOUSE I WISH I COULD LIVE IN IT AND MRS. OBAMA YOU HAVE A GREAT HUSBAND HAVE A GREAT LIFE FOR 4 YEARS GOD BLESS YOU ALL

LINDSEY   April 28th, 2009 1:45 pm ET

OBAMA, YOU ARE THE BEST PRESIDENT IN THE WORLD!!

Becky   April 28th, 2009 1:45 pm ET

obama has done a fantastic job dealing with problems especialy in iraq good for him

Dave   April 28th, 2009 1:49 pm ET

Obama has made promises that he hasnt kept, and he has said things about peoples religion and I dont think that he has the place to say.

savanah   April 28th, 2009 1:50 pm ET

I think Obama needs to focus more on our debt ,and he doesn't need to worry about being friends with the people from Talaban who caused 911 .

Lesnar   April 28th, 2009 1:50 pm ET

I do not agree with some of his policies but I do agree with some of his polices. He cannot play basketball,bowl, or play baseball.

Jessica   April 28th, 2009 1:52 pm ET

The grade that I gave President Obama was between a c-d because I didn't like or agree with most of the things that he chose to do. I also do not believe that he is helpiing our economy. Plus his p;an is going to end up hurting my generation later.

Melissa   April 28th, 2009 1:55 pm ET

he not helping us a lot and making it harder for me and my family to pay bills and taxes

james   April 28th, 2009 1:58 pm ET

I think the grade doesn't count because President Obama has helped a lot before he even ran for president. So Mr. President, I think you're doing an awesome job.

kayla   April 28th, 2009 2:00 pm ET

i think Obama is doing a great job, but some of those accidents that he had are making people think different. Maybe if he just uses more common sense he can be a great president

Shelby   April 28th, 2009 2:00 pm ET

I think Obama is doing OKAYYYYYY. I guess everyone makes mistakes and he has definetly made some in his first 100 days.

Mike   April 28th, 2009 2:04 pm ET

President Obama believes that the United States unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital, creates an unequal society, and does not provide equal opportunities for everyone in society. He advocates the creation of a society in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly .

Oops- Thats a textbook defintion of socialism.

Briley   April 28th, 2009 2:24 pm ET

I gave President Obama an A because he has really good ideas & he is actually doing something for the issues.

Gabby   April 28th, 2009 2:26 pm ET

He's kind of a good Prez ,but I don't feel he's doing his best. He could step up a little.

Sara   April 28th, 2009 2:27 pm ET

I gave him a B because he hasn't really done anything.

Leah   April 28th, 2009 2:28 pm ET

I gave Obama an F because he has spent a bunch of money on stuff that the contry dosn't really need,and plus, he broke some of the most important promises that he made to the contry.

becca   April 28th, 2009 2:29 pm ET

i dont think we are giving obama enough time to prove us what he said will happen.

coral   April 28th, 2009 2:34 pm ET

i think his done great he hasn`t messed up big time unlike bush did he messed this conutry up

Dakota   April 28th, 2009 2:34 pm ET

Obama is doing bad

Aaron   April 28th, 2009 2:34 pm ET

Obama can't fix the econey over night. All the days he has been in office he could have at least tried. Maybe our GM car factory wouldn't be going under and our food and gas wouldn't be sky high.Triple F!

Chelsey   April 28th, 2009 2:34 pm ET

Obama I would say gets an A+ from me I thing he deserves this cause he really cares about the economy and his country.

Megan   April 28th, 2009 2:35 pm ET

I think Obama could help out the eniviroment a little better than he is..and do his job better.

Faith   April 28th, 2009 2:35 pm ET

I beleive that President Obama can help our country a little more then he has.

Mason   April 28th, 2009 2:37 pm ET

I GIVE HIM AN F!!! He's trying to force education in our heads, I like school but I also like the time it gets out. He shouldn't make the school days longer. He said that he was going to make the school days last until 4:30 p.m. NOWAY!!!

DAYTON   April 28th, 2009 2:37 pm ET

I give Obama a [B] becuse he has not done what he said about the Economy.But the Economeny was kind of low when we voted. Hopefully he will get to it soon and he will be focused on what will come in the future.

Cory   April 28th, 2009 2:37 pm ET

Obama has only been giving bailout after bailout and needs to actually do something instead of throwing money at the nations problems we have enough to worry about in America without debt to China and increasing taxes

Lea   April 28th, 2009 2:37 pm ET

I think that Obama is a great president. He is deffinetly doing better than Bush. I am greatful that we have a democrat this term. Hopefully the war will be over soon.

paige   April 28th, 2009 2:37 pm ET

idik what he can do for our country b/c he's only be in office for 100 days

Sameen   April 28th, 2009 2:38 pm ET

I think Obama is a good president. He might not be the best president but he s better than some of our other presidents. I know people think just cause he is parially muslim people automatically thinks he is a teroist or he is trying to ruin our nation, but i dont think we should judge him just cause of what his race is. You never know that he miht be the one to fix the problems United States is in. I gave him a B-C because i think he is trying his best but he is not really succedding

Jared   April 28th, 2009 2:38 pm ET

Obama has done a perfect job as the president and I would give him an A+.

chasity   April 28th, 2009 2:39 pm ET

Obama is making some right and wrong hoices for the economy so far but its really to early to tell i would have to say he has a b because although its a bit early he has done some slight good and bad things!

meme   April 28th, 2009 2:39 pm ET

idk if we should graded him cause he hasn`t done anything wrong yet but he hasnt messed up this contury unlike bush did. but he is one of the worlds awesomest man. he ran for perisdent not know his chance to win nd know how people this days r i♥ this country becasue im goign into da army in less then three years so wish me luck

Chelsey   April 28th, 2009 2:42 pm ET

i give pres obama an b on his report card(if I got a B+ on something... AWESOME!) but pres obama has done a lot to keep his economy and his country out of danger and helthy and very confidential!! :) LOL

jonathan and jordan   April 28th, 2009 2:46 pm ET

The reason why I put A is that I think he has ben doing a great job because he has brought us out of the economic hole- jonathan

I also gave him a A because he cant help it and its not his falt : )

BB   April 28th, 2009 2:46 pm ET

I think he deserves a B-C, because I feel he is not doing his absolute best.
For one, I don't really like his ideas. But still, we should give him another chance. I also think that a bunch of people think he should step up a little!
(lol)

Ashleigh   April 28th, 2009 2:47 pm ET

Obama isn't in charge of EVERYTHING. There's only so much a man can do in 100 days. It takes months to get things passed, and he managed to get the stimulus bill out in less than a hundred days! He's definitely better than that sorry-arse Texas-reject (you know exactly who I'm talking about).
And why would we want another Bush in our office? He'll just put us further into debt. Clinton got us out of debt, Bush put us in. Enough said. Al Gore should've been president in 2000 and now we have four years to correct Bush's mistakes. I give President Obama an A+.

P.S.- If you're going to insult someone, at least try to SEEM smart, mm'kay? Horable isn't a word, kid.

jonathan   April 28th, 2009 2:47 pm ET

The reason why I put A is that I think he has ben doing a great job because he has brought us out of the economic hole- jonathan

Nathan   April 28th, 2009 2:52 pm ET

I think Obama has done well for the time he has been in office. What did his predecessor do in his first 100 days? Go on vacation. And the invaded a random country and get the country into debt. So he has a lot to do in 4 years.

Yaakov (Jacob)   April 28th, 2009 2:59 pm ET

I would give Obama an F because he is adding 20 more days of school. If he does that, there will be four bad problems for the USA.

1. The outside temperatures will increase, so people will use the AC. But the AC uses electricity. Therefore, more power plants will have power outages. The government will give more money to the power plants for more electricity, and then the tax prices will go up. Citizens will protest for their money, and the economy will go down.

2. Citizens that their lifetime jobs or job that some of their money for living are camps. If there are more days of school, camp will be cut for a smaller time. If that happens, those citizens will have to make the prize of camps higher. Citizens who go to camp will not go because they have not enough money or their kids need to go to school. The citizens who work at the camp will have less money for living because of this. Soon they cannot pay taxes to the government because they have no money. More citizens will become poor and go to jail because of this.

3. Tax prices will go up from school tax.

4. Parents will pay more because of tax problems 1, 2, and 3. Parents will have less money for food, clothes, shelter, and entertainment. Now parents need to sell all of their equipment and toys for money. Because of this, kids will go freak when their toys are sold (imagine that kids will need to sell their electronic games like Nintendo®, Playstation®, etc. I doubt that the kids will be okay with it). Later, all the money will be used up because of this. Soon kids will be put up for adoption because the parents cannot take care of the kids. Over the years, the parents will have no money for food, clothes, and shelter. More citizens will become poor and will go to jail because of this.
thats why.

Stormy and Destiny   April 28th, 2009 3:10 pm ET

we thank he is doing okay anythangs better than Bush , he's got good ideal but i think not meny people are behind him. We wish him luck though

DorK   April 28th, 2009 3:12 pm ET

I believe in this beautiful country in this wonderful world that President Obama did an amazing job in his first 100 (99) days in the Presidential Office he gives hope to us blacks.

Danielle and Kayla   April 28th, 2009 3:13 pm ET

kayla: I personally believe that Obama will be ok president we do need some change but not too much.I like Obama he will be good for the United States, but I also think he wants to much control and wants to change to much. I grade him a C.

danielle: I believe that Obama wants too much change. A little change would be good because of the recession but not as much as he wants. His grade from me is a C.

lifesaver 101   April 28th, 2009 3:16 pm ET

Obama is doing ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! He wants more school i mean who wants that that is rediculous. I think i just would not go! Obama is no good for the country!

tyler dilly and scott   April 28th, 2009 3:16 pm ET

well we think that obama an A because its not his fault that hes been doin bad he has a tough job and i think its awesome that we have a black president

cc   April 28th, 2009 3:17 pm ET

all obam want to do is spend money. He are worst prestident ever

Jordan   April 28th, 2009 3:22 pm ET

He is doing what he can on the econmey but his enviromental and foreign policy is a bit lacking

Matt   April 28th, 2009 3:24 pm ET

I give the president a C – D. I give him that because hes been doing a bad job with communicating with other people in the US. Then hes been apologizing so many times.

Violet   April 28th, 2009 3:26 pm ET

The reason I gave President Obama a b-c is because I do not like the bail out. I think if you are a failing company that you should get more than a slap on the wrist. Billons of dollors are not going to fix the aconamy. if people would stop talking doom and gloom all the time then people would buy things again and stop worrying

Alice   April 28th, 2009 3:30 pm ET

I think Obama deserves a B because one, he said he would pull the troops out of Iraq but he didn't. Second because he said he would fix the economy but SO FAR.... he has made it worse! He deserves a B also because he has done a good job keeping the world together. He also has done a good job keeping the world a good place to live. Good job Obama, just improve a couple small things!!!! =3)

Higgy and 33   April 28th, 2009 3:31 pm ET

I gave Obama a f because He is not taking in soldiers from iraq like he promised when he said it in his debates!!

Gil & Jess   April 28th, 2009 3:34 pm ET

Jess and gil: I think that he has been doing ok because he hasnt done much yet that he said he would do for his plan when he got in presidency.

Jess :BUT he hasnt been in office that long so he could change all these things he wanted to.

Gil: I also think Our president is doing Ok but he need to take charge relly fast or no one will take him serecle.

Sarah   April 28th, 2009 3:34 pm ET

I gave Obama a B because there is still things that he needs to work on (like bringing the troops home)and other stuff. He has made some improvement in the past 100 days. I know some people don't like him, but I think he can help the U.S. way more then Bush did,

Keeley   April 28th, 2009 3:35 pm ET

I think he's doing everything he can. That is why I give him an A-.He said our economy would get back to normal, but I haven't seen any major changes yet!

Rosalie   April 28th, 2009 3:38 pm ET

I give Obama a C because he is avrage every day guy that trys to change the world But he's still the president, a man, a husband, and a Father.

:)

Anna   April 28th, 2009 3:39 pm ET

I think the president should get a B+. He has done a good job keeping our economy up and our country good and healthy. He's done everything he can!!!

Madison   April 28th, 2009 3:39 pm ET

I grade the President at least a C+ because he has done some of the things that he said he would but at the same time he has not done some of them.He really needs to bring the U.S. troops back home because thats not our situation thats theres and that is why i gave the President.

Keegan and Cassie   April 28th, 2009 3:40 pm ET

We gave obama a B/C. Because he is doing a good job at somthing like helping the people out at somthings. But the other things like Obama is giveing us more taxes...But all n all Obama is doing a good job at being the prez!!!

Keegan&Cassie

Danielle and Kayla   April 28th, 2009 3:41 pm ET

Danielle does not think that Bush was a bad President at all!!\
He tried to fix what past Presidents messed up but instead got blamed for it.

kayla I think that Obama wants to buy and spend way to much of our money that gets us into a deeper depression .I also think that bush messed up this country.

Joseph   April 28th, 2009 3:45 pm ET

Well I think that he has done the best he can. I just do not think it was good enough. I do not agrree with anything he has done.

Sarah   April 28th, 2009 3:45 pm ET

I think that Obama has done wonderfully his first One-hundred Days. He has been true to his promises. He has been doing everything he can, in my opinion.

Vinny   April 28th, 2009 3:45 pm ET

what has president Obama done so far ? Nothing except give money away to companies that have spent it before they get it . I gave him a D+ .

Kayla   April 28th, 2009 3:46 pm ET

Even though he has only been in office for 100 days, many people like him. At least he's a lot better than Bush right? He is trying hard to pull us out of the war and to get us out of crisis. He has kept his promises and is listening to peoples opinions. When he won the Election so many people were happy about it and I was too.

Evan   April 28th, 2009 3:47 pm ET

well what exactly has he done... sereiously!

Ty   April 28th, 2009 3:47 pm ET

I dont think he did very good. Half the things he promises never comes true.

mike   April 28th, 2009 3:47 pm ET

he has promised so many things and practically none of them came true. i think he is taking advantage of us.

James   April 28th, 2009 3:48 pm ET

Well actually Obama has helped a lot of people and he is doing a pretty good job.

Corbin   April 28th, 2009 3:49 pm ET

sorry, but i'm not excited for the next 4 years after seeing everything Obama did in just 100 days. if i could tell him something right now, it would be to stop sending stimulus money to banks that don't deserve it and overseas abortion programs.

Joseph   April 28th, 2009 3:49 pm ET

Well not the best presidency I have ever seen. So F. just do not agree.

mike   April 28th, 2009 3:49 pm ET

i highly dissagree with chelsey the stimulis money will hurt us not help.

BOBBY   April 28th, 2009 3:50 pm ET

OBAMA IS GOING TO MAKE ME PAY MY PARENTS TRILLION DOLLAR
DEBT! COME ON! IM ONLY 12! SERIOUSLY! SO I GAVE HIM AN F:)

ghosty   April 28th, 2009 3:50 pm ET

Obama hasent done anything he promised he lied to get into office and now that he is there he is changing everything next thing we know our own back yard is different plus all the money he spent now we r going into great depression

I think President Obama is making good decisions to help our economy. but my friend thinks he is bad, he wont tell me why. I give him an A. he is a very good president.

Mariah   April 28th, 2009 3:58 pm ET

I gave Oboma an A, because I think he is a good president. He won the election fair and square, and the first black president. He is a great leader and president.

joseph   April 28th, 2009 3:58 pm ET

bad bad bad bad bad ! f

ducky   April 28th, 2009 3:59 pm ET

i gave him an f but thats ok cuz at least it wasn't an f-. i would have given one of my bad eachers an f-

Chris   April 28th, 2009 4:00 pm ET

I will give him an D-F because I dont think he made much changes.

BOBBY   April 28th, 2009 4:00 pm ET

i give him an F--! but thats ok. at least it wasnt an F-------–.

joseph   April 28th, 2009 4:01 pm ET

joseph   April 28th, 2009 4:02 pm ET

i love him

BOBBY   April 28th, 2009 4:05 pm ET

he he he he he hehehehehehehehe! :) i gave him an F! he could do so much better and not make me pay my parents debt. a TRILLION dollars! come on!

nate   April 28th, 2009 4:06 pm ET

obama although has not done good with the stimuas package we will loose are rights one in paticular our relign rights

BOBBY   April 28th, 2009 4:09 pm ET

hes putting me in the position that i will never be free of debt. i will be paying this debt the rest of my life if we dont do something about it .

tyler dilly and scott   April 28th, 2009 4:09 pm ET

i think obama really needs to help the country without spending so much money.Ya I know Obama!

catherine   April 28th, 2009 4:11 pm ET

i think he is doing an okay job he could be doing alittle better with this hole helping people along with money probalms

coco   April 28th, 2009 4:12 pm ET

I don't like the way he thinks. cutting summer vacation is bad. For some people that's the only time they can spend with their families. I give him an F

Wednesday   April 28th, 2009 4:12 pm ET

I think that President Obama should get a C becasue he could be doing better. people are losing jobs everyday becasue of he economy. he should at least make some sort of attempt to fix it. everyone is losing money. this needs to be fixed

nope   April 28th, 2009 4:12 pm ET

i don't understand his actions sometimes. y cut summer vacation kids need time to not worry about homework.

Bella   April 28th, 2009 4:12 pm ET

He is a cool cat :)

emma   April 28th, 2009 4:14 pm ET

i think he is doing a good job

Austin   April 28th, 2009 4:15 pm ET

He is doing the best he can 4 now. i think we should wait to grade him. I think He is doing good though!

Gina   April 28th, 2009 4:16 pm ET

I would give President Obama anywhere from a B-C. I would give him this grade because he hasn't really done anything.I mean he did and is trying to help the economy and keep us out of danger.. but that's his job. He's not a bad president but he's hasn't done anything yet to earn the most amazing president. Ya know??

Morgan   April 28th, 2009 4:16 pm ET

wow OBAMA! is awesome! hes totally the bomb!!! my FAV president in the world!

Ashley   April 28th, 2009 4:16 pm ET

I think It is too early to rate Obama because he just stared, and the economy is exactly the same. Maybe cnn news should do the ratings later, because he hasn't even had time to prove himself, and this is just making him look bad. Ithink it's unreasonible for people to give him an F becauae so far he hasn't done anything wrong, but his plans for the future sound great. The only thing i disagree with is he plans to get rid of using torture to people in prisem. But those are only my opinons and other people may disagree with me, but thats okay.

emma   April 28th, 2009 4:17 pm ET

I think president Obama is doing a good job. I would give him a A. He knows what he is doing. Afterall, we voted for him. He is trying his hardest, especially in the condition of our economy. Right now, he is doing pretty well in my opinion. I mean, its only been president for 100 days.

noname   April 28th, 2009 4:18 pm ET

I think he is doing a bad joob

Austin   April 28th, 2009 4:18 pm ET

Its hard to grade the president on his first 100 days. There are going to be so many thing he as to heldly that he as not seen yet. So to grade him seem to be alittle unfair. Yea he is doing good but he still has over 3 years to go and no one knows how its going to be and whats going to happen

mmmmmmmmm   April 28th, 2009 4:18 pm ET

I don't like obama. He doesn't have a clue how to run a country.

Anonymous   April 28th, 2009 4:18 pm ET

i think he is doing better than i expected

!sammy!   April 28th, 2009 4:18 pm ET

i graded a B-C because some people dis agree with his decisions but i can obviously tell it is extremely hard being president...!

anakin   April 28th, 2009 4:19 pm ET

I think he has done a bad job. No change at all. :(

Anonymous   April 28th, 2009 4:43 pm ET

I don't know what to grade him there's not much you can get accomplished in 100 days, plus it's mostly in Congress's hands.

Mary   April 28th, 2009 5:30 pm ET

I think that President Obamas actions will come back and bite him! he has not done the best and i dont think he should of been put in office in the first place! so i give him a D!!

♥bush supprter♥   April 28th, 2009 5:47 pm ET

President Obama has done an AWFUL job! in his campaign he wanted change! all he has done was make are economy go from bad to worse in my book he gets a -Fand it will stay that way as long as he is in office!!!

anonymous   April 28th, 2009 5:48 pm ET

i dont think obama is bad i give him an A+

Crissy   April 28th, 2009 5:51 pm ET

I think that President Obama deserves a B-C because,although he has had time in office to fix some things about the economy, he hasn't had too much time to make drastic changes, enough that would fix the economy or any other problems in the U.S. I think he just needs some more time to see what will happen with his presidency.

mike   April 28th, 2009 6:01 pm ET

when i found out this morning that the obama adminitstration okayed a jet plane to buzz the skyscrapers of new york city and circle the statue of liberty, my repect for president obama was definitely lowered. the choice that was made scared tens of thousands of people into thinking that a terrorist attack was occuring. all the fly-by was for was to take pictures? come on. i give president obama a 5 out of 10.

Trevor   April 28th, 2009 6:30 pm ET

i gave obama a F because i don't think he iis doing what he promised evrybody and also because he is worrying more about other countries more than ours.

austin   April 28th, 2009 6:37 pm ET

I personally dont like him just at the moment because he is putting our country in debt to china. Im not saying he is a bad president, im just saying that he sort of needs some experience.
austin = )

Barrett   April 28th, 2009 6:48 pm ET

It was hard to grade Mr. Obama, because he has only been in office for a short time. I think he will keep his promise of change, but he needs more time to actually do this. I give him a B, because I know he will change America, but he hasn't done it so far.

Nick   April 28th, 2009 6:59 pm ET

I honestly don't care. He's the president, we should respect him for being that much.

Jim   April 28th, 2009 7:29 pm ET

Taxes are not the answer. I dont like any of his decisions! And keep the troops in Iraq. GO RONAL REAGAN!!!! ... I am sick of change :(

Sami   April 28th, 2009 7:32 pm ET

In my opinion he deserves an F
and that is what i gave him

Jim   April 28th, 2009 7:44 pm ET

The stimulus plan is not working...just a wast of money :mad: ... He has not done anything yet and has not kept his promises and i give him a F. I am tiered of hearing "change" and nothing happens.... actions speak louder than words. And instead of raising taxes... stop doing so many governmental projects! :(

Tom   April 28th, 2009 7:52 pm ET

I think Obama deserves a B-C because although I like his acts for change, I still don't see any reason to keep a war going in Afghanistan for something that happened 8 years ago. I can tell he's a great man and wants the best for our country, I just happen to disagree with some of his views. If we were basing the grade on how we think he's going about doing what he wants to do, I think he'd get an A. He is clearly showing his efforts for a better America.

Keshia   April 28th, 2009 7:56 pm ET

I honestly believe that Obama deserves, at worse, a B. I mean, he became president at one of the worst economic time in history, so he's doing the best he can. Things are only going to get worse before they get better, then everyone will be on his side!!

Christine   April 28th, 2009 7:59 pm ET

I would give President Obama a D-. I would do this because
A) He gave the Prime Minister cds that could have been bought on Ebay
B) He gave the Queen of England an IPOD
C) People on his cabinet do not even pay their own taxes!
D) He doesnt call terrorists the enemy!
E) He believes in re-distribution of wealth
F) The other day Air Force 1 fly around the Statue of Liberty for a PICTURE, scaring the heck out of millions of people. He claims not to have known anything about this, but how can he not know about his own PLANE?
The one reason I did not give him an F was because during the presidential campaign when the reporters started criticizing McCain's daughter, he helped him out. He said "children are off limits" instead of joining in on the critism.

Jordan   April 28th, 2009 8:01 pm ET

I think that President Obama is doing a great job as president. It is unfortunate that he has such a large load of work (i.e. the bailout). However there are other ways to solve this problem. Now we are in bigger debt then we have ever had.

Max   April 28th, 2009 8:03 pm ET

obama not making are world better hes just making it worse

Emily   April 28th, 2009 8:13 pm ET

The economy still isn't fixed yet, and all he's doing is putting a band aid on the situation and not focusing on completely fixing it.

Ashlynn   April 28th, 2009 8:14 pm ET

I give Obama an F because he is spending money to help other countries when we are the ones who need help.He also isn't changing things to help us the way he said he would.I am not saying he is a bad person but he needs to learn how to help his own country inseatd of all the others.☺

Emily   April 28th, 2009 8:14 pm ET

He's epically failing us all.

Kelli   April 28th, 2009 8:19 pm ET

i give him a A. i believe that he has the countrys best intrests at heart. He has done so much in only 100 days. I can just imagine what he can do with the rest of his presidency.

Lauren   April 28th, 2009 8:28 pm ET

Overall, I would give President Obama a standing ovation throughout his first 100 days in office. Though this is still early in his presidency, he is starting to fulfill the promises he has made and is doing a good job at pursuing them. Some of these promises are like fixing some international affairs with foreign countries. I also feel that he has done a great job of working with his cabinet and helping to fix the economy. JOB WELL DONE OBAMA!!! Keep up the good work!!

TJ   April 28th, 2009 8:30 pm ET

I give Obama a F. He is a complete moron. I wish him the best, but he he is a communist and he is not what our country needs. He is increasing our taxes and is wanting to take away our gun rights i want my guns so i can hunt. We need also need another Ronald Regan who is not afraid of fighting a war with these terrorist. We should stay over there until the problem has been dealt with in its entirety. When we went over we knew what we were getting into. The raising of our taxes is the last thing we need and it has been shown through history.

Benjamin   April 28th, 2009 8:42 pm ET

I give Obama an A because he has only been in office for 100 days so he has not had enough time to really do anything yet.

tori   April 28th, 2009 8:42 pm ET

WERE on our way into another depression and what he is doing is giving handouts! for all those people who have heard " give a man a fish and he eats for a day. give a fishing pole and he eats for a life time" that is exactly the situation here. as soon as all of the sorry people who dont want to work spend all of their money, then whats he going to do? we already cant afford to give out that much money and the demand is only going to grow. also, i think he should be helping small businesses. they are pretty much the base of our economy and are going out a heck of alot quicker than all of the titans of industry (and im sure it would be cheaper to bail them out)
Sorry Obama. But i would give you anything between a C and an F+

gi.gi.   April 28th, 2009 8:49 pm ET

i would give him a D because i don't agree will any of his plans lie for example his bailout plan or his abortion plan

cambam   April 28th, 2009 8:51 pm ET

He hasen done any thing. why do people say hes so grate if he hasent done any thing.

Nikki   April 28th, 2009 9:13 pm ET

I think that Obama is doing his best. Even if he doesn't do all the right things, he has a lot of pressure on him, and he probably can't do all the things that are right for the nation. My grandparents really don't like him, and call him a baby killer, because he made it legal for abortion, but I think he's alright. And besides he's just another american, why should we hate him? I rate him a B-A.

Sarah   April 28th, 2009 9:43 pm ET

I think Obama got a C- because he has let our economy go into chaos, yet he is not an F because he is trying as hard as he can to make it all right.

Jim   April 28th, 2009 10:30 pm ET

I like what TJ said about 7 up from me maybe more since everyone is putting comments in .... Go RONALD RAEGAN!!!!!!! I also gave Obama a F!

Jim   April 28th, 2009 10:39 pm ET

If you give him a D- that goes under catagory F, not C-D that is to broad and is basically an F.

~~   April 28th, 2009 10:57 pm ET

If Obama continous the pork in the stimulous package, then Americans will have to save money and work extra hard not only to pay off their debts, but also taxes. These taxes pay for the all the government controlled groups that Obama is imposing and all the illegal residents who get a free education, and eat out of our pocket. If Obama says that Americans should save money, then why doesn't he? Well, now I understand his logic, he wants me to save all my money so that I will be paying for his mistakes that he has made through taxes my entire life. I believe that the President deserves an F-

Tristen   April 28th, 2009 11:13 pm ET

I thimk that with so much pressure Obama is doing the most that anyone has ever done to save our economy.

Cy   April 28th, 2009 11:15 pm ET

i give him an F because thus far the only good thin he has done is save the captain of the maersk Alabama. he wants to impose gov't funded aka socialized medicine and banking, he went to Europe and sucked up,he is closing down down gitmo(where will we put the terrorists?) there was no reason to close it down. I'll keep my freedom, my money and my guns. You keep the change!

Hayley   April 28th, 2009 11:31 pm ET

I give Obama a B because he is trying hard and sort of suceeding,plus he is under alot of pressure!

Holly   April 28th, 2009 11:31 pm ET

I honestly give him about an f cause all he's done since he's gone into office is spend our money,. to companies; the money should not be going to them it should be going to us. WHY?! because, they stay in bossiness by us buying things, from them plus, it's part of the business carrer you don't always succed you do fail. He is putting us more into debt more then what we need. Also, it seems like hes doing things we dont need;
like closing gitmo, what is he going to do with those terriost? put them in our country, i don't think so no one wants them here he really needs to sit down and think about what he's doing.

Cora   April 28th, 2009 11:34 pm ET

An A For Effort
President Obama has an extremly difficult task of trying to run an broken down country and is doing a fantastic job of it. He is attempting to improve the economy while trying to find solutions to problems in the Middle East, Health Care and Homeland Security. It is very important not to forget that he Obama was not the one that brought the economy into this downward spiral and he has put forth plans to turn our county around. It would be nearly impossible to be succesfull within the confines of the first 100 days in office. The first days as President he created long term plans to get U.S. troops out of Iraq. In this harsh world economy, and other problems facing America it is important not to be discuraged by the first 100 days and to realize that no great change can come without a longer amount of time. I give Obama an A for accepting a job so challenging and being able to stay calm and collected while attempting changing America.

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE   April 29th, 2009 12:01 am ET

I think Obama is murdering America's tradional people and vaules. He has lied to us saying that he was going to take our troops home but he has just put 1,000s troops into Afghanistan. He is a socailist lair, who stops the America sport of baseball, for him to get the popular vote. Everyone hates Bush for starting a War with Iraq but now Obama is doing the same thing with Afghanistan so why aren't people hating him?

Brett   April 29th, 2009 12:10 am ET

I believe Obama has been doing a really good job, but I think he could improve. I know he is trying to get the economy all fixed, but he needs to hurry because things are getting worse and worse. I'd give him a B because I know he's trying and he's getting necessary help from other officals, but think he can do better.

Andrew   April 29th, 2009 12:58 am ET

I honestly think that Obama is forcing a communist government becuase of all the rules he has set and all the executive orders he has given out. I don't think people gave Bush enough credit either because he killed Saddam Husein and no one noticed. Now Obama killed "pirates" and saved a captain. Big deal. I want to see him really do something and hey, the economy is still rapidly deterirating. Try to look at the world for once president. I gave him an F for not making any good major decisions so far during his presidency. I'd like to see him take on a national crisis like President Bush did. It wasn't even his fault for getting attacked. Clinton ignored threats and declined any major CIA and FBI activites to kill and engage the upcoming terrorist threats. But anyways, I also do not like Obama because obviously I am republican and he released a terrorist that has now started a mojor terrorist group in Afghanistan from Guantanamo Bay. Dumbest idea ever. Thanks for releasing terrorists from prison Obama.

Nia   April 29th, 2009 7:10 am ET

I think Obama is a wonderful president and for everything he has done!...he has got us out of this bad economy!

Katie   April 29th, 2009 8:25 am ET

I would grade the president a B plus because we all know that he is trying his hardest. He has tried to take care of many problems and almost all of them he has taken care of. This is a very hard to time for the U.S. and he is not just sitting there twiddling his fingers he is working. He also has a family to take care of and spend time with if I were his kids I would be depressed because he has barely an of time for them which is actually very sad. We all know that president Obama is a very hard working person and we would never dought that, so why should we give him a bad grade in his one hundred days. This has probably been very stressful because this is a very hard time economy wise for the U.S.A and he is trying.

Kelly   April 29th, 2009 8:35 am ET

i think obama is not helping the middle class. Personally, i think hes only interested in the lower people. Also i think that Obamas choices of cabinet members is very wrong, since none of them pay their taxes. Maybe if they paid their taxes we wouldn't be in such a huge economy crisis.

Abraham   April 29th, 2009 9:14 am ET

I think that Obama has begun to make good choices, but he is not really looking at the poor construction of the older American buildings. He has a great game plan for Iraq. He has been able to keep very calm for his first 100 days as a president, especially in our extremely run-down economy. I think he should get a B +!

hunter   April 29th, 2009 9:29 am ET

i think obama deserves a big fat F because he is pretty much burning money and giving our money out (that we cannot spend) to different countries.

Alexandra   April 29th, 2009 9:51 am ET

I think Obama deserves an F. Before he became president I thought he was going to be a great president. But now he is not the president I thought he was. He says we should be in school longer, We already have 6-7 hours of school.That's long enough.

robert   April 29th, 2009 10:19 am ET

I agree with those who say it's to early to grade Obama. But in the first 100 days i think he's done almost everything right. 1. i think the bailout on te banks was the right thing to do. the banks screwed up and forced him in a position that you only have one decision to get out of. So I'm sorry if you think otherwise but if the banks go under we (the US) go under. 2. I am a student so i don't like the raise of school hours but i think with all the high school dropouts i think he has a right to worry.
Overall i think he's done a good job so i gave him a A. but i would like him to stop trying to get so much airtime and just do his job a little bit more.

Josh   April 29th, 2009 10:19 am ET

I rate Obama about an A. The only reason I did that is because heʻs trying to do what he can do improve the country. Heʻs not doing that much right now cause weʻre in so much of a hole but later on it should improve the chances of our country. Youʻll see that later we will be in good shape... I think...

Mason   April 29th, 2009 10:39 am ET

President Obama is doing a really good job in office but when do the benefits start to kick in?

maria   April 29th, 2009 11:14 am ET

I give PRESIDENT OBAMA an A – because he has surrounded himself with all top notch advisers – just to see him talking on TV has given me a wonderful feeling. he is our president now – and we should ALL stand behind him . The comment before me says it all by Cora – RIGHT ON.
May God give him strength to continue his plan.

Danie   April 29th, 2009 11:27 am ET

I think that President Obama is trying his best right now, so I give him an A. He is trying to fulfill the “promises” he has made in order to have change for our country. Obama is new at this role as president, and with time he will get better at his job. (It is only his 100th day as President.) I think that Obama will become one of the best presidents of our generation.

Panos   April 29th, 2009 1:21 pm ET

I am going to give Obama a C for now. He has done a good job and the economy has show small signs of improvment, but more can be done. I don't expect the economy to recover so fast, but he must think of more plans and be ready for the worst. He did handle the pirate event very well, and used the right actions. Right now, he isn't doing a good job on the swine flu outbreak. When does he expect to call this event a health emergency? You shouldnt call it an emergency when millions of people die, you have to call it now. There are people dieing every day from this disease and everyone is just sitting back and waiting for it to get worse. In my opinion, Obama has a done an average job and I'm giving him a C.

Brandon   April 29th, 2009 1:21 pm ET

I think that Obama is doing ok. He is trying to fix the economy but many companies are still going under.

Matt   April 29th, 2009 1:25 pm ET

I give Obama a C. It is too early to tell whether he is doing a good job. I believe that he is spending way to much government money! The US will be in debt for many years to come. Our granchildren will still be paying off his debt. I think his policies are too "left", also. He hopefully will not nationalize too many areas once the country is out of the necession.

Rebecca   April 29th, 2009 1:25 pm ET

Hi Carl! In my humble opinion, President Obama has been doing a pretty good job. Not A quality, but still pretty good. I just think he shouldn't raise taxes! Don't the adults pay enough as it is? Carl you rock! Keep up the good work!

Stefanie   April 29th, 2009 1:26 pm ET

Obama has been doing a pretty good job so far i think. Yea it is kinda hard to grade him, but hes showing that he cares about to get the US back on track. Some of his policy's i dont agree but things may change who knows. Hes got so much more on his plate now & is still learing how do work this. Hes been doing a much better job then George W. Bush

Anonymous   April 29th, 2009 1:26 pm ET

obama is the best president hands down.

Pauly   April 29th, 2009 1:29 pm ET

Obama is bringing sexy back to the white house. He is also still stompin' in his air force ones. He brought life back to the U.S. using nothing but soul power and economic stimulus packages.

Jackie   April 29th, 2009 1:30 pm ET

I am giving Obama a B-. I think he is trying his hardest to help the economy and he obviously recognizes that this recession is becoming a serious problem. Unfortunately, I also think he is biting off more than he can chew with this stimulus package. He is trying to dish out more money that our country doesn't have to aid CEOs that are not running their businesses correctly. Also, he has been cutting programs specifically for younger generations that were used to benefit students. His platform emphasized how important education is yet he is cutting more programs. Other than that he is doing a good job. I'm glad he is helping Pakistan's government so they can fight the Taliban and I am glad he is freeing the prisoners from Guatanamo Bay.

Jackie

Julie   April 29th, 2009 1:31 pm ET

President Obama should focus less on other countries around the world and focus more on the United States.

Nicole   April 29th, 2009 1:33 pm ET

I would give Obama a B-. Many people were all for the changes and solutions he had, but we were all unaware of how serious things were. Obama has done all in his power just in the first 100 days that have actually turned our country around. Things will not change over night and he is aware of that, its the citizens that dont understand. Overall, Obama promotes a new fresh change that is much needed for our country.

Michelle   April 29th, 2009 1:40 pm ET

Obama is working very hard to improve our economy. In the face of international terrorism, a possible pandemic, and a suffering economy, I believe he has handled himself rather well. It is true that our economy is not in a very good position right now, but like he said, change doesn't happen overnight. I believe that if he continues to work hard and makes the right decisions, eventually we will all see the change that he has promised.

ben   April 29th, 2009 1:46 pm ET

i give obama an A because he is doing work on america

Jolene   April 29th, 2009 1:48 pm ET

I am a former educator and have had a great deal of experience with awarding grades. I submit an A- to President Obama. This grade is based on his performance efficacies, his perseverance and his ability to manage many subject matters across his presidential curriculum.

Keep up the good work President Obama!

Jolene, an independent

Pedro   April 29th, 2009 1:49 pm ET

I think President Obama is doing a good job with the economy so i give him a B. He should try to focus on other issues like the war in Iraq and the swine flu.

Victor   April 29th, 2009 1:50 pm ET

I give an Obama a B. His task is pretty difficult because he is trying to run a country that is at a bad time. Also, he seems to know what he's doing.

Ashley   April 29th, 2009 1:51 pm ET

I think that president obama should have a c-d because he has not showen any progress so far and has not helped are ecomy.if he wants to be graded higher he should inprove more.

Mimzers   April 29th, 2009 1:52 pm ET

Barack Obama deserves a B-C because its only his 100th day in office,and if you think about it,that's not a lot of time to improve everything.So give the man a break!!! I mean,he's already improved most things.For example,the stock market has increased not decreased.And there's much more time left to see if he does better or worse.

marcos   April 29th, 2009 1:52 pm ET

I believe that president Barack Obama deserve an a because he's doing every thing he promised to do,well at least most of the things he said he was going to do.

elijah   April 29th, 2009 1:53 pm ET

i think obama making good changes because what goerge bush was doing is sacrificing our country and every body was getting tired of him so ever since obama came he was lowering the taxes and the food prices even though that some people hate him mostly half of the country likes him and so he's making good choices right now for our country

Erika   April 29th, 2009 1:54 pm ET

i think that obama should get a c-d because he still hasent showen any progress so i think he need to work no help our econemy

Richard   April 29th, 2009 1:55 pm ET

I wouldent say he is doing very bad ,but he is not handling this situation the corect way.He is spending to much mony that will put our economy down the drane.

Evii   April 29th, 2009 1:55 pm ET

I think that Obama is doing a very well job,he has solved some of the issues he promised us he will solve and is helping America become a better Country.Hurray For Obama!

marcelina   April 29th, 2009 1:56 pm ET

president obama hasnt been around long and i dont really pay attention to what he is doing right now but from other peoples they say hes the a real good president....all i know is that when i was watching tv about him,he was keeping his promises!! So i think president obama is a real great president!!!!

Cynthia   April 29th, 2009 1:58 pm ET

I gave the president this grade becuase I think that he is doing an ok job in office. I don't know much at all about the government, and about what Barack Obama wants to do for this country. I only learned about it in "simple form." But what I do know is that he keeps changing his mind about what he is going to do. Nobody can tell what's going to happen in the future, but we can decide what to do about certain scenerios if they do happen. I gave the president a C-D mostly becuase he is not really doing anything different than what previous presidents have done in the past. Yeah, it's cool we have our very first black president and everybody thinks he's the best choice–out of the few that ran in the election–for the position. But that doesn't mean he is any different than them. I'm not sure how to explain myself exactly, but what I am trying to say is that Barack Obama is not the right preson to be the president of the United States of America!

Cheyenne   April 29th, 2009 2:00 pm ET

I would give Obama a C.Not terribly great but not terrible horrible either.Right in the middle.

karen   April 29th, 2009 2:01 pm ET

I would give our president a B or C because he's doing well,what with all the economic problems and what not. Though I wouldn't have given him an A or F because it is still a bit early for that kind of a grade.

aj   April 29th, 2009 2:04 pm ET

I give President obama a B because he is doing great but President obama need to find a way to deal with the ecomny.

Zachariah   April 29th, 2009 2:06 pm ET

I gave Obama a C-D. He is doing what he believes is the right thing to do, but the more money he spends, the more myself and future grandchildren are going to be in debt.

Aucha'Nae   April 29th, 2009 2:07 pm ET

I would give president Obama a B because he is trying his hardest to fix the economy and it has got a little better then it was before.

Patricia   April 29th, 2009 2:16 pm ET

I belive it is to early to judge obama's decisions , no one is completly sure how everything is going to work out yet, plans always take time to finish so he had a plan and right now him and others are working on it. It may not be the fastest way possible but the fastest way is not always the best way.

fernando   April 29th, 2009 2:26 pm ET

I think obama has an extremiy hard task because of the economy and the Health care that people need I give him a B

Robert   April 29th, 2009 2:31 pm ET

I give Obama a "c" because he has done a lot but i believe he could have done more. He helped the economy but only a little and he has not really done alot about the two wars we have going on. But if we give him time i do believe he will fulfill all the promises he made. So to Obama i have to say keep up the good work and don't slip up and you will do just fine.

Alex   April 29th, 2009 2:31 pm ET

Obama is a baller. Therefore, he gets an A.

Carl, you rock.

Victor   April 29th, 2009 2:32 pm ET

Our President has put us $3 trillion in the hole, in his 100 days in office, and he blames it all on Bush. Hey, newsflash!! Obama has spent more money in 3 months, than Bush spent during his entire presidency. I don't see how our president deserves anything less the an F. And yet people still defend him...

anjali   April 29th, 2009 2:40 pm ET

The grade i would give President obama is B because , i think he hasn't done that many things to improve the econmy . He said that he would try to take out the troops from Iraq as early as possible, but i heard on the news that he wants to take troops out of Iraq around 2011 , which is a pretty long time . Another reason i would give obama a B is, he has been trying hard to fix the econmy that Bush left him with . Which is very hard. things aren't working right now and it isn't the best time to fix the problems . He should take of one problen and slowy fix the others. All in all , he has been doing okay but he still gets the credit for dealing with all these hard problems. He has alot of time to improve and get and A!!!

Archie   April 29th, 2009 2:51 pm ET

I'll give Obama B-. He did an OK job on the economy, but he did not end the Iraq War and that is disappointing. I know that there were some US soldiers abusing their powers to taunt the Iraqis. It is better to end the war now before there are more hypocrisy. I think promises from presidents are all the same and they only show a little effort or none of fixing the problems. He bought a dog, I mean come on, he can buy personal things later after things are fixed!

Cat   April 29th, 2009 3:04 pm ET

I'd give him an F. He just doesn't realize that his big spending bill is maybe going to save us now, but that huge debt isn't going to be paid off until 10 years from now. That means I will suffer, and I really don't want to have to pay for his mistakes. I also think it was not very smart to release terrorists from Guantanamo Bay. Its not smart because they will just go terrorize more people. That's why they are called terrorists, they don't care what happens as long as people scream. Therefore I think he fails, because he really doesn't know what he's doing, and he can't talk without a teleprompter, he should know how to do that by now.

Desmond   April 29th, 2009 3:30 pm ET

I give the president an A. Not only because of what he's doing for our country now ,but also his plans for the future. Just him being in the whitehouse has already changed the economy. It has given people confidence to spend money again, and the best economist have said thats the best way to fix the economy. And though his goals are steep and difficult, I trust him to do the job better than any republican has to offer.

Anonymous   April 29th, 2009 3:44 pm ET

I would give him a C+ or a B-. Some things he has used money on that so far have yet to show what will happen. Even if his plans havent gone into full effect we must wait to see if they do.

RJ   April 29th, 2009 3:47 pm ET

I would give him a C+ or a B- because he has spent money. We must wait to see if his plans will work.

Gage   April 29th, 2009 4:11 pm ET

I think he's doing really well, considering what he has to work with. The only way he can save the economy is to spend money and people are complaining about how he is putting us in debt. With out him spending the money and putting us in debt there probably wouldn't be a United States Of America right now.

zach   April 29th, 2009 5:03 pm ET

A++ he is a good man

Vannessa   April 29th, 2009 5:27 pm ET

Obama should definetly get an F; I mean, he has done absolutely nothing to help us in our crisis, he just is really, really good at making people believe that he has...I can see through him, though.

Katherine   April 29th, 2009 5:27 pm ET

I give Obama an A+ because he is doing the best he can!!!

Connor   April 29th, 2009 5:29 pm ET

He is spending way too much money. If he really wants to stimulate the economy, he could cut taxes and let people spend their own money.

chasity   April 29th, 2009 5:41 pm ET

i give president obama an A+ because even though he has not kept his promise he is doing everything he can to fix U.S and do the right thing and do all the things he need to do

Emily   April 29th, 2009 5:42 pm ET

I would give him an F, for the fact that nothing has changed..yes he says all this stuff but has there been a difference..NO!. If you haven't noticed the stock market has been at its lowest point for some time and what did we do? we gave banks more money! yes, 100 days isnt really long enough but still he needs to do something...

Barrett   April 29th, 2009 5:42 pm ET

I think Mr. Obama is doing an okay job in office. He does keep saying 'change," and although I have not seen much of this, I think he is going to keep strong to his promise. He has made some rash desicions that I don't agree with, like giving a lot of money to companies and putting our generation in debt. And, calling a health emergency when we don't really need one. He has a hard job, and he puts up with a lot of pressure and criticism. I give him an A-. He has done an amazing and phenomenal job so far, in his short term so far. Mr. Obama, you have done a great job.

Lauren   April 29th, 2009 5:47 pm ET

I give Obama an F. He doesn't know what he's doing at all. His stimulus package won't work, and he has a lot of unqualified people in his administration. Obama has also disrespected a few of the leaders in England, which I find unacceptable. Sure, Obama may SEEM like a great guy, but he needs to focus on being our president, which he hasn't done, and I'm sure he never will.

- Lauren
Phoenix, Arizona

Tyler   April 29th, 2009 5:50 pm ET

I would give him a F+. He's just spending millions of dollars in just a few months and hasn't even thought about it, thoroughly. He might be taking us back on our knees, but now were just going to be in more debt.

BGG   April 29th, 2009 5:57 pm ET

I THINK THAT RIGHT NOW IT IS WAYY TO EARLY TO GRADE HIM!
YEA OFCOURSE HE HAS BEEN IN THE OFFICE FOR 100 DAYS BUT COME ON THAT IS WAY TOO EARLY TOO SEE ANY PROGRES!
BUT I HAVE FAITH IN HIM AND IM SURE WE WILL SEE SOME PROGRESS IN A COUPLE MONTHS. :)

Jake   April 29th, 2009 5:57 pm ET

I give Obama an A, because he has made the best choices out of all of his options. He said that America's problems weren't going to be fixed overnight, and he was right. I think some people expected him to solve everything in 100 days. But I don't see what he could have done better. He was given a country that needed a steady leader and I think that he has kept our country as stable as he could in his first three months in office.

Jason   April 29th, 2009 6:12 pm ET

I would give President Obama a B- because he is trying his hardest and the economy is slowly recovering. However, there is still much more he can do. He is still a good president.

Emily   April 29th, 2009 6:35 pm ET

I would give Obama a C-D. Right now it is hard to tell what to grade him. I would like to see more things accomplished. I want him to help the economy first and not other stupid stuff.

jessica   April 29th, 2009 6:37 pm ET

I think Obama get's an A+ because he is doing a great job!

Alex   April 29th, 2009 6:42 pm ET

Obama’s Grade

If I could grade President Obama I would give him a B+ or an A-…..Why?
1. Good: He is creating strong bonds with other foreign countries which could start trading between us and helping the economy.
2. Not so good: He is spending some money that we don’t have, and we don’t know if it will come back in the stock market. Also that money was being used wrongly in the companies that it is given to, such as bonuses.
3. Good: He is trying to take deal with the Taliban, also in tried to stop the Korean ballistic rocket launch which ensures our safety.
4.Good: He is trying to help the economy, and lately I’ve seen it get a bit better
5.Not so good: He is restricting the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms
6.Good: He is a great leader!

Emily   April 29th, 2009 6:43 pm ET

I would give Obama a C-D. Right now it is hard to tell if Obama is doing a good job. I would like to see him accomplish more things like fix the economy.

Ricky Bobby   April 29th, 2009 6:46 pm ET

I would give Obama a F. he isnt helping us. he is just making every thing worst. we need him to help us get out of debt not into debt.

Emily   April 29th, 2009 6:56 pm ET

i would give Obama a C-D. Right now it is hard to grade him. i would like to see him accomplish more things like fix the economy.

Frego   April 29th, 2009 7:02 pm ET

Give the dude a break! He has the toughest job in America, you would be messing up to. Overall, B. He's Obama, not superman.

Jennifer   April 29th, 2009 7:03 pm ET

The 100 Good Features
President Obama has changed the country in many diffrent ways,but some are smaller than others each one a step closer to a complete country. Recently I went on a trip to Washington D.C with my school, there was a man who lived in a small tarp tent in front of the White House. He's been there for twenty years, and has lived through many diffrent presidents. He is petitioning to have less nuclear weapons, and that day I talked to him he had said Obama was the one to sign an agreement for less nuclear bombs. Obama was the first President out of many to take that extra step and help this man and our country. All while solving the major problems the nation has been experiencing. President Obama has onehundred conflicts and priorities and he's reaching almost everyone of them, therefore I give him an A.

Guandique   April 29th, 2009 7:05 pm ET

What bothers me is not what kids are saying about Obama, but that they can't think for themselves. Everything my friends say about him reflect off of what their parents think.

And no, my parents didn't say that.

Tess & Greg   April 29th, 2009 7:07 pm ET

WE LOVE OBAMA!
<3<3<3<3<3

Emmy   April 29th, 2009 7:27 pm ET

I give him a C-, he is trying to make things better,but he is so going about this the wrong way. I don't get how he thinks that in a bad economy spending money will save us. Like Shane said, he's putting me and my family in debt.

John   April 29th, 2009 7:35 pm ET

I give president Obama a F. He deserves this grade because he has put us in more debt in two weeks than bush has in eight years. My grandchildren's grandchildren will be paying off this debt

katie   April 29th, 2009 7:39 pm ET

Obama is not doing a great job but he's not doing a bad one either

Rob   April 29th, 2009 7:50 pm ET

I don't think he's doing a very good job, I mean he was smiling at a press conference about the low flying planes over Ground Zero.

James   April 29th, 2009 8:20 pm ET

I thinks this president is the best ranking if you try to put him in a ranking from 1-10. I would love to give him an A+ with no doubt.

Analysia   April 29th, 2009 8:23 pm ET

I am giving President Obama a B .Hi,I think President Obama is making some okay economic decisions.As the years go on people wil start to like him more and I think he will make the right decisions.

Madi & Katie   April 29th, 2009 8:39 pm ET

We think that President Obama is not doing what our country needs. He is trying to balance too many things at once; the recession, health care, two wars, and now educational reform. We think that our main priority should be recovering the nation from this economic down fall.

Katherine   April 29th, 2009 8:45 pm ET

Come on!!! We have to wait!! I think its easy to understand that no one cannot solve so many problems in 100 days!!! He has so many things to handle: health care, war, schools, all the things he promised CANNOT be done in a 100 days!! He still has 4 years and I bet he will succeed. That's why they get 4 years, right?

Brandon   April 29th, 2009 8:45 pm ET

Many would hasten to grade Obama, hurling an "A" for blindly towards him for excellent work under pressure or his method of tackling many issues at once. Still others would slam an "F" down in defeat as they retreat in their support of Obama due to the still-shaky nature of the market, among other issues. However, as the media gets ready to pounce on our young president, I feel his true grade is somewhere in the range of a B-. He has addressed the economy, and things appear to be getting better, but their is no way of predicting how much better our situation will become or how long it will take. His bailout money seems to have done the trick, but might have unknown consequences. He is slowly drawing troops out of the Middle East, but some situations are worsening and the Taliban is advancing in Pakistan (though the President has little control over this). Almost all of Obama's plans, however, are long-term. He is focusing on the long run, especially with environmental concern. This takes true leadership, as the people want to see immediate results. In essence, the grade given so far means nothing. Things will get better, but it takes time, if nothing else! In the truest sense, it is not a grade that Obama needs to aim for, by producing immediate results. What he is trying to do is to earn the trust of the people, so his plan can come to fruition!

Jay   April 29th, 2009 8:55 pm ET

I think Obama is an alright President, but out of those 100 days in office he has been out of the United States! I think he should start with our country first. We voted for him and he is not changing like he said he was going to.

T-boy   April 29th, 2009 9:01 pm ET

I am no fan of democrats(no offense) and I don't like how it seems like Barrack is surrendering the war.

Rodney   April 29th, 2009 9:07 pm ET

I gave him an A+ because he has the WORSE job right now with the WORSE issues that any president has faced and he has handled it marvelously and is making sound decisions...he makes me feel comfortable that we can come out of this, and that is all you can ask of your you leader is to be calm duing the storm. If you can keep you head about you in times like this, that is remarkable

Ralachelle   April 29th, 2009 9:09 pm ET

with reguard to the way the economy is, i would give obama an A-, for even though this recession couldnt be stopped by anyone, i feel as if Obama shouldn't be spending the money needed to keep the U.S, afloat money-wise

Natsinet   April 29th, 2009 9:13 pm ET

i know there is a lot of things need to be done, but i think president Obama is doing a great job in handling all the differnt issues, so i decided to give him an A.

donald   April 29th, 2009 9:16 pm ET

A great president I'm glad I lived long enough( I'm 79) to have a president I am proud off...

manuel   April 29th, 2009 9:19 pm ET

president obama shoud git an a+ being our president of the united states . you two mrs crater!!!!!!!!

lewis   April 29th, 2009 9:22 pm ET

A. Showed complete mastery of all issues, topics and programs like no President since FDR.
LEWIS .

JUANITA   April 29th, 2009 9:24 pm ET

I THINK HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS FACING THE ECONOMY TODAY. But I THINK THAT IF HE COULD HAVE GAVE EVERY FAMILY A MILLION DOLLAR INSTEAD OF GIVING ALL THAT MONEY TO THE BANK THE ECONOMY WOULD BE BACK A LOT SOONER BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WOULD PAY THEIR BILLS AND POUR MONEY BACK INTO THE ECONOMY FASTER.

Elsie   April 29th, 2009 9:24 pm ET

We are very blessed to have such an educated man as our President that was left with all these issues when he took office and is able on a day-to-day basis to prioritize what this country needs, in addition to keeping us safe. The American people can be proud that we have an ally in the White House that truly believes in the system.

Jennifer   April 29th, 2009 9:25 pm ET

i think grading him is to early. We need to give him time to do his plans and lets see the result of that.:)

US Bailout Jimbo   April 29th, 2009 9:29 pm ET

no president has had to deal with what he has, and this recession is in his way, so we cant really see what his full potential is because he doest have a fully smooth running economy

Anonymous   April 29th, 2009 9:35 pm ET

President Obama is just a man and not GOD, THIS I SAY because he has made promises and fulfilled them like we all know . I strongly give him an A because he has achieved so much in just 100 days and his openess to questions is inmeasureable. We all know that he inherited lots of debt. Keep up the good work. God is your strength.

chinyere   April 29th, 2009 9:47 pm ET

President Obama has an A from me, he has been great considering the fact that he inherited huge economic crisis and has done tremendously well in just 100 days. His openness to answering questions is immeasurable. Let's not be quick to condemn him.
Keep up the good work.

suzanne   April 29th, 2009 9:50 pm ET

president Obama is united the country,,,,his reach out to the world is very smart,,and humanity to show real respects,and care for every body,,,this is the real human"s rights,,make peace within our country,,and the rest of the world,,,,,here we see ourselves now calm,,less stress, our good attitudes came back,,,,american people look more comfortable,nice to each other,,,we do not rush to watch the news, now,,to see who killed who,,,,who abused who,,,,who hate who,,,,which country annonced war on others,,,it was wars all over,,,,divivions,,,,red,,green ,yellow,,white,,black blue all must hate each other,,and fight,,,thanks for spreading peace within our country,,and the rest of the world,,,thank you President OBAMA,,we love you,,,,Suzanne

becky   April 29th, 2009 10:00 pm ET

president Obama is doing awsome even though he has to fix all of Bush's mistakes it will pay off in the end

ERIN   April 29th, 2009 10:06 pm ET

I THINK OBAMA GETS AN A+ BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT HE HAS TO GO BEHIND ALL THE THE TRASH BUSH LEFT HIM TO PICK UP BUT IT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE BUT HE IS GOING TO GET THERE AND THE F'S WOULD TURN INTO HIGHER THAN A D

Elley   April 29th, 2009 10:54 pm ET

I think Obama has done a great job especially considering the fact that he was signed in at such a difficult time in our economy,and I think our economy has improved since he was signed in.

Kaitlin   April 29th, 2009 10:55 pm ET

I would give Obama a B for all his effort in trying to change the serval problems are nation has beeen faced with in the last one hundred days. He has created a stimulus packet which he hopes will turn around the US economy but is to early to tell how effective it is. He is also trying to deal with the problems in the Middle East. I think President Obama is doing a good job, now only time will tell if his ideas and plans are what this country needs turn around the ecomony and settle issues in the Middle East.

Sarah   April 30th, 2009 12:28 am ET

I think that President Obama is doing a great job. He is doing significantly better than any president we have had in a while. I give him an A. he has already taken many steps toward achieving things that he promised he would help with and change. Great Job Obama!!!

Dakota   April 30th, 2009 12:34 am ET

I have only seen President Obama on T.V. Talk shows. I haven't seen him do anything yet besides the Stymilis package yet. I can't say this is a a report card that you would like to bring home to your mom. But I would like to see something done pretty soon.

Charlotte   April 30th, 2009 12:41 am ET

i have Obama a B+ because he is doing ok he needs a little more effort but out of all he is doing good vote B or A!

Antonio   April 30th, 2009 9:21 am ET

I think that Obama is trying to help the economy and other big problems the very best he can. Although he does make some poor choices so that deserves a B or a C.

brady   April 30th, 2009 10:17 am ET

I would give Obama a C, just an average grade. He hasn't done anything to turn around are problems. He has done on thing, just go and get a bunch of money to spend.

Heidi   April 30th, 2009 11:22 am ET

I'm concerned with the President's take on pro-life issues. It appears that he has an issue with losing lives in the war, but not the loss of babies' lives. A life is a life no matter how small!

Kyle   April 30th, 2009 3:30 pm ET

I'd give our new president a D- because of:
1. His super big bailout
2. He said in a speach " we are not a christian nation " ( and shouldn't he folow " in god we trust?" :D
3. He had most of u.s. citizens have a bigger debt. ( way much more than we had when bush was in )
4. Unemployement has JUMPED
5. Most days he has been out of this countries
6. rushing everything that should be done
which made the economy,etc. even worse

Rob   April 30th, 2009 5:46 pm ET

I don't think hes doing a good job he should close the border to Mexico and, he shouldn't be targeting a younger audience using the internet. I say that because he has a youtube channel

Rachel   April 30th, 2009 6:25 pm ET

This so called "change" is the bad kind. I give the new prez a "F", because all of us students will have to pay for all of his bailouts when we grow up! Companies that make bad decisions should stick with them and not get bailed out because THEY are the ones that made the bad choice.

Jonathan   April 30th, 2009 6:32 pm ET

I gave Obama a C-D.
I did this because a lot more people are getting
more and more into dept! And also that big bailout that happened not to long ago. Also he said he was going to take out the soldiers out of Iraq a long time ago and their still there.Obama has also been lending a large sum of money all over the place and the economy is even worse than with Bush. Overall Obama never really gave us what he promised us.

Robert   April 30th, 2009 6:36 pm ET

President Obama has been in office for only a hundred days, and because Franklin Roosevelt said he would get America out of the Great Depression in 100 days, these days have since become the benchmark for the president's four years in office. Still, 100 days is less than 7% of Obama's first term. I want to see what Obama does in his first 18 months as president before I decide whether to keep his grade at an A or drop it.

Veronika   April 30th, 2009 6:45 pm ET

Still In Progress
The grade that I would give Obama in his first 100 days in office is a C. I think he is doing what any other president would be doing right now in office. I think he is meeting our expectations as being our president by working on one of the biggest issues that is effecting our world, the economy. Though he hasn't made any drastic changes that have brought us out of our economic slump, he definitely seems to be working on it, by meeting with other important officials and making a plan. Obama has a huge role in making our economy turn around, and I think it will take more time than just 100 days to make a solid evaluation of Obama and his presidency so far.

Cathy   April 30th, 2009 7:27 pm ET

i gave President Obama a B+. i think it is a little too early to grade him. even though it will be his 100 day in office. we all know he is trying his best to do what is right for the country but i have not really seen him do a lot yet. i think that we should wait a year or so then grade him. everyone who lives in usa is depending on him to help us and i have been hearing some things but i am not hearing things that will help out econmy. i really hope he will do something really soon. maybe when he does his grade could go from a B+ to an A+!!

John   April 30th, 2009 8:30 pm ET

i would give him an A because alot of people seem to be happy with him as president.

Davis   April 30th, 2009 9:40 pm ET

Although no major changes have happened as of today, President Barack Obama has done many things to help this country. The economy has been the biggest challenge that he has had to face so far, and even though we have not seen any big jumps, that's not neccesarily what we want to see after just 100 days in office. Our president needs to focus on improving the country over the long term, not just on pleasing everyone at the beginning with a plan that will fail later or one that will need to be constantly added to over the next few years. Obama has had to attempted to please many people from around the world, a very hard thing to do, and on average, he is supported. He has had to please even the people of a nation that we are currently at war with, and they are saying that he just needs to do just a little bit more in order to gain their support. By pleasing so many people from so many various countries, Obama has gained not only respect for himself, but respect for the whole of the United Sates. For all of the effort that he has put in, although it still has not yeilded much, I give Obama a B. I am certain that many of his plans will bear fruit in the future.

President Obama's Report Card

I believe Obama deserve a C+. Since President Barack Obama has been in office the Stock Market has been on a roller coaster ride in a bad way. The unempolyment rate has lowered dramatically since President Obama swore into office. President Obama has given out more bailout money then a free samples at Trader Joe's. On the good side President Barack Obama he is trying to move the troops out of Iraq and into Afghanistan. Furthermore President Barack Obama has been doing well to get a passing grade.

crystal   April 30th, 2009 10:33 pm ET

I THINK HE IS DOING GREAT!!!

Alex   April 30th, 2009 10:36 pm ET

I believe that president Barack Obama has done all he can do. He has focused on the larger problems that the world is facing such as the economy. I believe that that is what a good leader would do. Even doe many people say that they have not yet seen any changes been made, that doesn't mean changes wont happen. They will start to happened, but at a slow speed. He will prove to all those who don't believe that he can do it that he is actually 100% capable of fixing this mess that the world is in. To me our president deserves a straight A +

Danielle   April 30th, 2009 10:49 pm ET

I have to say obama has done some things I don't agree with and some I do agree with so I give him a b-c

Maryanne   April 30th, 2009 11:25 pm ET

Expectations Met

Obama’s first hundred days have been tough, but through ups and downs he’s made the best of it. While the economy is still in a difficult place, he's made due with what he can. Greatness is not achieved in a days work. It takes time. I feel that it is too early to judge the president's expectations and work ethic right now but if I had to it would probably be an A. Work could be done but so far so good.

Tripp   April 30th, 2009 11:38 pm ET

I give Obama an A for efort but a b for what he has actualy done. Although he has tried very hard and improved many problems, he did not actualy do what he said he would do when campaingning. I like what he has done so I don't mind but has there really been any "change" and how has he helped stop coruption and 'turn around the economy" shure he has helped to stop the economy from hitting rock bottom, but he made too many promosises that could not be fufiled. But considering what he has had to face, he still deserves a b

Zac   April 30th, 2009 11:39 pm ET

I think that Obama deserves a B+ instead of an A mostly because he hasn't really fulfilled all of the things that he promised he would do. For example, he promised that he would close down Guantánamo Bay and send the prisoners back into custody in there own country's. He also said that he has proposed government funding for abortions, which means he doesn't supports killing unborn children. On the other hand the reason I didn't just give him a ordinary B is because he has only been in office for 101 days and there has been even bigger problems that he had to address. For example the outbreak of Swine flu or the war in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan or even this financial and economic crises that he inherited. I think Obama has been doing a good job in office so far, but there are some things that I think he can improve on. You can do it Obama!!

Tsubasa   April 30th, 2009 11:43 pm ET

With President Obama's first 100 days now ended, I give him a B. He has tried with great effort to face the many challenges that the U.S. is currently facing. From the wars in the Middle-East to the economy to the new outbreak of Swine Flu, he has been taking it all pretty well. President Obama has submitted the Stimulus Plan, which has kept some important businesses alive. Although these businesses are still running, I think that he could have placed the money more carefully around. Since Obama has taken office, the Iraq War has seemed to cool down. President Obama has had his ups and downs, but all of his efforts will start to show in the years to come.

Schyler   April 30th, 2009 11:43 pm ET

I think that throughout Obama's time in office he deserves a b-c grade. He has done many good things like keeping the banks stable but at the same time making our nation move deeper into debt. He spends a lot of money on things like the stimulus package and car companies. I think that Obama is capable of helping this nation and will have a good presidency.

Kai   April 30th, 2009 11:55 pm ET

Barack Obama's grade is a B+. I would give him a higher grade, but I am not sure his plans are going to work yet. He has indeed made the stock market less of a wreck, but the huge bailout funds might come back to haunt him. I honestly don't think that 100 days is enough for Obama's plans to bear fruit. He needs to plan for the long run and worry more about the country than what people think of him.

Ellie   May 1st, 2009 12:02 am ET

Obama came into office when the worldwide issues were difficult; therefore he had many concerns to deal with the day he became the president. We cannot expect every issue to heal in the first 100 days of a new president, but the American public should see some changes. Barack Obama has promised many things from fixing the economy to fixing minor problems in our country and so far, I believe he has not gone back on his promises. Obama is going to become an extremely powerful president worldwide if he keeps the vows he said he would. I give Obama and "A- to a B+" because times were hard when he came into office and he needs a chance to "warm up" to people both in America, and the worldwide public.

Dutch   May 1st, 2009 12:03 am ET

With Barack Obama's first 100 days in office I would give Barack a C. I think it is to early to give Obama a grade, but for the stuff he has changed to the U.S did not paticuarally help. I thought his motto was "Change and Hope". Yes, there has been change, but not in a good way. Like the money he gave to General Motors, Ford, and all the big auto industries only helped them for 3-6 months. I think we need to give Barack Obama time for his plans to work and get us out of this recession, but as of right now i give Obama a C for satisfactory.

Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!   May 1st, 2009 1:04 am ET

Barack Obama has done a very good job during his first one hundred days in office. I would rate Obama's accomplishments at a B-C because he has not fulfilled his promises to the country yet, but he still has time. He needs to step up his game a little more and take the bull by the horns. He has the ability to fix things, but he's being a bit stand-offish. Still, Obama had been doing an A+ job, but i still believe he could do better, and I hope he does. Good work and well done!!!

Ian   May 1st, 2009 1:40 am ET

Obama has exceeded my expectations. I originally thought he would accomplish very little over his first 100 days but, I was wrong. Everything from the economy to North Korea and now Swine Flu, he has preformed beyond expectations. He has a calm attitude towards ever task he must accomplish. He is the much needed change from the previous administration.

Daniel   May 1st, 2009 2:04 am ET

A Grade for 100 Days!

After only 100 days in office I would give President Obama a B+ to an
A- for his perfomance so far. He is trying to boost the ecomomy and
improve the unemployment situation, but this will not happen right away. It took time to get our country in this mess and it will take time to
fix it. Obama is trying to map out plans that will improve our economy for the long haul and not just a quick fix. He is also attempting to pull
troops out of Iraq, but there are new problems on the rise in Pakistan
he has to consider. I also believe he has made strides with foreign countries with his visits and meetings with them. There are many important issues that President Obama has to deal with and so far he
has done a good job under the circumstances.

Julie   May 1st, 2009 5:48 am ET

I think Obama has done a pretty good job, since he's making lots of people feel safe.(Although some people don't)I feel safe, and lots of people around me does, too.

Julie   May 1st, 2009 5:50 am ET

I want to give him a straight A!

Sammy   May 1st, 2009 9:06 am ET

I would give obama a B on his report card, he has been able to accomplish several tasks while in office, and is making an effort to improve America's economy. I believe that by the end of his term in office, he would get America back on track and get the "A" he deserves.

Derek   May 1st, 2009 10:16 am ET

I would give obama a C because he is doing the best he I can accept that but some of his decision i have a problem with like make plans that will work in the next president term and then become uselless at that point like having solider move out of iraq terriosts activeties can resuface, bailing out the banks is not working business are still going under, people are still losing their jobs, there is no control over what the banks are doing with the money. He is not living up to all of his campain promises.

katie   May 1st, 2009 10:27 am ET

i would give obama a F, because since the swine flu has started in the U.S he has been saying that he will not be getting on a plane with his family. he is being really self-fish. hes the president and he should be caring for others instead of himself.

roger   May 1st, 2009 11:38 am ET

I think Barak Oboma is spending alot of money. I also think he is not taking swine flu serlously. Barak Oboma is not doing what is right for the economy . I give him a D-

Roger

Michael   May 1st, 2009 3:38 pm ET

i think obama needs an A-C because look what hes done to our economy. I think hes a great president

Molly   May 1st, 2009 4:05 pm ET

Short Notice

President Obama has been harshly graded on a time period of only 100 days, compared to 1200. Though based on the ethics of one president's goal, Obama cannot turn our economy around, completely get rid of terrorism, and now cure a pandemic that is sweeping the nation so quickly. Many people can rarely do that over 10 years, and yet people expect Obama to do it in only 100. I would give him an A because it hasn't been enough time for me to see if his plans have taken action accordingly, and his thoughts have been measured out into carefuully thought ideas to make this country better.

anthony   May 1st, 2009 6:12 pm ET

i give president Obama a "B" because he is doing good so far,but he can improve.Such as the incident with swine flu.

Austin   May 1st, 2009 6:32 pm ET

i think obama gets an F.I dont think obama has done a good job on our economy were still in a recession we havn't even seen improvement

Amanda   May 1st, 2009 10:00 pm ET

I'd give pres.Obama an f because i think he's going no where!

Alejandra :D   May 2nd, 2009 11:07 am ET

I think he sh0uld get an "A" because he has d0ne a really g00d j0b and has tried to change the U.S.A but n0t 0nly us but the wh0le w0rld like Cuba.

Andrew   May 2nd, 2009 6:09 pm ET

I would give Obama an F. He is spending money like it is water. I don't think the stimulus package will do much.
Also, the people that say Obama is doing a good job don't explain HOW he's doing a good job. I think that some of the bloggers don't know what they're talking about. They just say stuff because their parents say it.

Tom   May 2nd, 2009 7:03 pm ET

Its just too early. 100 days is not enough to start judging president Obama on his progress so far. Some people even think that he isn't going to change anything in office. What they all need to realize is that these problems are huge, therefore the changes that will be made are going to be huge as well. Obama even said during his campaign that these things all would take time. They would take years to help with just the economy let alone everything else that is going on. He has a lot on his plate, and for all that stuff I would have to give him anywhere from a B+ to and A-, but it is still too early to decide.

christinaa   May 2nd, 2009 7:29 pm ET

obama is doing a real good job so far....even though it takes time for the way he wants u.s to be♥

Allison   May 2nd, 2009 7:49 pm ET

I think President Obama deserves an F. He thinks he's helping, but he's only made our economy worse!

keivys   May 3rd, 2009 12:08 pm ET

I would give him a higher grade, but I am not sure his plans are going to work yet. I think that Obama is capable of helping this nation and will have a good presidency.He is doing significantly better than any president we have had in a while.

Dahmitra   May 3rd, 2009 2:10 pm ET

President Obama

President Obama has done his best these 100 days in office. He has attended to many world wide issues including the wars and the swine flu. He deserves a B because he has done a lot so far but you can't really tell what he will do just by 100 days.

Stephanie   May 3rd, 2009 3:33 pm ET

I gave him an F because first of all I think Obama is unqualified to be our president. He has VERY little experience and I don't think he can help our country very much. In the first hundred days in office he has not done anything and I don't even think he is going to keep his promises.

Victoria   May 3rd, 2009 7:51 pm ET

i gave obama an C-D cuz he hasnt done much but at lest he's trying

Fiona! :D   May 3rd, 2009 9:08 pm ET

Ok well I gave him a C. He doesn't deserve and A but he definitely doesn't deserve and F. He basically just started being president!! Give him a break. Change won't happen over night, it takes time.

Victoria...   May 4th, 2009 7:25 am ET

i give Obama an C-D because he is not supose to be makeing friends with Hugo Chavez or the Castro brothers. He is supose to be helping us here and I dont think that the friendship with them will do anything for us and withnhis little experience i dont think he will be able to keep his promises.

Gurtt   May 4th, 2009 1:26 pm ET

I believe the president obama shoul get a grade of a (D-F) because he said that he was going to with draw troops from iraq but instead of with drawing them he send more troops. he is just as bad as president Bush

Zain   May 4th, 2009 8:34 pm ET

I think he's doing his best so we should give him more time since other presidents weren't being graded in this type of situations.

Robinson / Mr. perez   May 4th, 2009 9:09 pm ET

I believe its to early to grade obama he still fixing bushs problems and once he done economy is going to get a lil better and maybe we can live life like it use to be.

jeneen   May 4th, 2009 9:12 pm ET

NOW WORST THEN PRESIDENT BUSH???? WHAT? R U SERIOUS?!!!! FIRST OF ALL BUSH IS 20 TIMES WORST THAN OBAMA! OBAMA IS TRYIN SOO HARD, GIVE HIM A BREAK ,HE CANT JUST FIX THE ECONOMY LIKE 123!.......AND HE JUST STARTED... SO WAIT A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME AND LETS SEE WHAT MOVES HE MAKES.. OK.....

garrett   May 4th, 2009 10:09 pm ET

The reason why I chose my grade to obama is because he is doing a fine job as being president. :)

Joseph   May 4th, 2009 10:48 pm ET

D to F. I don't think that our economy or anything has been improved, even though steps have been taken. I think Obama just doesn't have what it takes and not enough experience. And I hate to break it to ya, but OUR country needs work, so visiting Canada doesn't help us very much. And increased funding for abortions was not the best idea on his part either.

Joseph

Michael   May 5th, 2009 9:35 am ET

If nothing else, Obama has tried his hardest by doing what he thinks will work. That’s why he gets a B-C from me. He has done some to make people mad but he is very ambitious with his plans and he does what he feels is necessary for the country. He hasn’t fully recovered America but he hasn’t hurt it too badly yet.

Taylor   May 5th, 2009 11:33 am ET

President Obama is doing his best but not doing the best. I would like to see other people trying to clean up such a mess that Bush left for him to handle!!

Casey   May 5th, 2009 11:33 am ET

I think that President Obama is doing the best that he can so i give him C-B

Christy   May 5th, 2009 11:34 am ET

I'm a little sick of hearing about how he hasn't made any progress. For one thing, he HAS. He's created so many jobs. For another, he's got QUITE a mess to deal with it. Everyone keep expecting him to change the whole country in a day and it doesn't happen like that, especially with all the things he got stuck having to clean up after Bush. Honestly. I'd like to see ANY of you clean up after that 8 years. He's not a superhero. He needs time to make changes.

Oscar   May 5th, 2009 12:30 pm ET

I would grade Obama as a F because of how he deals with the swine flu situation and how hes reacting with the Iraq war.

Josh   May 5th, 2009 12:35 pm ET

i gave president Obama an f for the his grade because all he has been doing to this country is pretty much making our lives more miserable and even if he dose with draw the troops from iraq he is going to send them to attack Russia in Europe. so i say he is worries than president bush.

Cole   May 5th, 2009 12:36 pm ET

I think hat Obama should recive a B because he has done things that we do not like or like.

anthony   May 5th, 2009 12:39 pm ET

i gave Obama a b because he did do well be he still could of done better in his fist 100 days

Kelsey   May 5th, 2009 12:39 pm ET

i'd much rather not grade him

matthew   May 5th, 2009 1:16 pm ET

obamma is the best prez and i think that its to early to rate him.
i gave him an A+ anyway.
plus hes makining history hes the first black prez......!

Kevin   May 5th, 2009 1:20 pm ET

I think i would give Obama a B in his overall performance as a President in the past 4 months. I think he has made alot of Good Decisions and put alot of Effort into them. True he said he was going to Withdraw Troops from Iraq, but with no troops overseas we would have nobody to Protect us.

Aryanna   May 5th, 2009 1:24 pm ET

I don't think the president is ready 4 an A+ because he just started and hardly anything happened thats important. :( :)

Kevin   May 5th, 2009 1:25 pm ET

Like others i think it is too early to Rate Obamas Performance. I think we should wait a little more into the year before we start rating obamas overall performance. Though i do think that obama has made some overall good Decisions.

Bayan   May 5th, 2009 3:12 pm ET

I think obamas doing the best he can. everyone expects him to fix everything in 100 days? thats crazy, because it could take him years. obama, i give you an A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOBBY   May 5th, 2009 3:52 pm ET

i gave pres. obama an F! i love to be able to grade the president. i dont want to have to pay my parents debt.

alexis   May 5th, 2009 4:12 pm ET

the grade i would give obama is a C
i think that he has not shown us what he can really do.
i would think he would be graded and A by his 200th or 300th day of presidency.
he is doing good so far lets see if he keeps up the good work.(:

mackenzie   May 5th, 2009 5:22 pm ET

i give him a "B" because he is doing ok right now.

Antoinette   May 5th, 2009 8:02 pm ET

I think Obama is waayyy better than bush

Dunham   May 5th, 2009 9:30 pm ET

HE IS DOING THE BEST HE CAN!!! UUURGH!!!
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

Vanessa   May 5th, 2009 9:34 pm ET

I give president obama an B because I believe he is doing the best he can to fix the economy and provide jobs for the unemployed.

Miranda   May 6th, 2009 7:51 am ET

i give obama a B because he is trying his best to pull through with his promises to america.

poppy   May 6th, 2009 9:04 am ET

You know just because he isn't doing the ecnomy the better way doesn't mean he's doing it the wrong way. Give him a chance to keep our nation together, not make it fall apart. If you believe in america then you should believe in Obama. Give him a chance to keep his word and let him work his job. He's the president right now. And that was probably under a lot of people's vote. so just chillax for little bit and go with the flow.

Anthony   May 6th, 2009 9:16 am ET

I would give president Obama a B. This is probably the worst time to become president because of the economic status. Also he is the first black president. The president is handling the situations well and needs to keep up the good work.

Kelli   May 6th, 2009 9:38 am ET

So far so good but you can never tell what the future holds.... lets all hope for the best and see what will happen.

Ceirra   May 6th, 2009 9:38 am ET

Obama has done a terrific job. Yes there is some stuff that he hasn't done but that doesn't mean that he won't get to it. I think that Obama deserves a B. Because he has done alot to help us. and all you people who are giving him F's you need to rethink your decission. I think that is rude to give him an F when he has been a great president and done a alot for this country and others.

courtney   May 6th, 2009 1:04 pm ET

c-d because he has messed up and changed things in the country but hopefully things will get better

Alfonso   May 6th, 2009 1:25 pm ET

i give president Obama an A because he s trying to do all he can to fix the economy but it takes time.

Joshua   May 6th, 2009 4:57 pm ET

I don't now if i can rate obama yet just because he has only been in office for a little bit. You cant grade him because of what he says he might do. Even though hes got some prity good ideas.

Joshua

Hanni   May 6th, 2009 5:12 pm ET

I give president Obama a B .. I think he is working hard with all the problems that the country is facing right now , we all hope things get better.

Emily   May 6th, 2009 8:21 pm ET

I would give Obama a B. He's doing pretty good as President so far. Its only been the first 100 days,so well see how he does.

David   May 6th, 2009 11:37 pm ET

i would give him a B because he has done his job doing the best he can and yet hes made the best decisions

Luis   May 7th, 2009 8:10 am ET

Obama is a good president so i give him A he is helpin the country.!

Marcello   May 7th, 2009 12:54 pm ET

I think Obama is doing his best with this economy in his fist 100 days so he surely deserves an A.

Emmanuel   May 7th, 2009 12:56 pm ET

I would give president Obama B-C due to the loss of jobs.

alan/ Mr. Perez's Class   May 7th, 2009 2:05 pm ET

i would give him a B becuase he is doing the best he can for the economy

Damon   May 7th, 2009 3:56 pm ET

i dont know its only been 110 days i thin but you cant judge yet its to early.

Melanny   May 7th, 2009 5:36 pm ET

Ithink obama should recieve an "A" he's doinq a great job & im pretty sure it will stay that way hopefully ! ...

Joe   May 8th, 2009 11:16 am ET

i grade him a (A) he is doing the best he can and well a better job then the last president

jenna   May 8th, 2009 11:47 am ET

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Becca&Sami   May 8th, 2009 6:27 pm ET

F!F!F!

Dian   May 8th, 2009 8:23 pm ET

i would give President Obama a b-c because he's a decent president, but he's had some trouble during his time in office

brian   May 10th, 2009 3:12 pm ET

I would give him an F, because he is killing us with these taxes and bailouts. My dad is being layed off because of him. BOO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

allie:)   May 11th, 2009 9:22 am ET

i would give him an a only because hes doing a really good job so far and hope we have a better future.

Samy   May 11th, 2009 5:51 pm ET

I think Obama becoming president was a good thing i just think he should focus more on the economy and the job loss instead of other things he has been focusing on but i give him a B-C because being president you can only juggle so many things at a time :)

Starr   May 11th, 2009 8:43 pm ET

I grade him a F my parents are stressed about the economy.Why do you have to do this Obama.STOP!!!!!!!!

Zach   May 12th, 2009 11:02 am ET

President Obama has been doing a very good job as the first african american president of the united states. He is doing his best to help the economy, the health care system, the war, and the h1 n1 virus.

felix   May 12th, 2009 12:18 pm ET

well i give obama a c-d because he just starterd being president and he starterd off alittle bad

Gabriel   May 12th, 2009 1:54 pm ET

I gave obama an f Because he has'nt done anything good

santana lov his mom   May 12th, 2009 2:23 pm ET

i give obama a F because i dont like him

Abigail   May 13th, 2009 9:59 am ET

So far, Obama has done absolutely nothing. At all. Our economy is worse, our security is worse, and absolutely nothng is being done to help us. We've just spent more money, and made up stupid bailout plans. What's going on? I'd grade Obama an F-.

Chantelle   May 13th, 2009 12:32 pm ET

A+ Thank you.

P.S. STOP POSTING BAD COMMENTS PEOPLE!

BOBBY   May 13th, 2009 4:20 pm ET

I GAVE HIM AN F . I DONT WANT TO PAY MY PARENTS DEBT. ONE TRILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!!! I MEAN COME ON!

Getchen   May 13th, 2009 6:49 pm ET

i give him a b-c because he started be a president and i think he can do better then that and being a president is not so easy at all.

Justus   May 14th, 2009 9:23 am ET

Obama is doing the best he can. He is doing everything in his power to help our country and keep us safe. I think Obama is a GREAT President.

Dakota   May 14th, 2009 9:23 am ET

Obama is doing the best he can, it's still a little early to tell, but I say GObama!

Andres   May 14th, 2009 3:34 pm ET

i think people judge obama to much he's just one persen. what wound you do if you were in he's step's. with so much pressere to fix every thing.
