Sunday Morning Roundtable IV

As 2009 closes, it’s time to grade the President on his first year. As discussed in a previous post, President Obama recently gave his own performance a “good, solid B-plus.”

Some on the left are disappointed in the President’s lack of progress on the environment or on getting health care reform completed (while the Senate and House have each passed a version of the bill, there is no final law until the two houses of Congress work out their differences).

Those on the right, who naturally are more aligned with the President’s increase of forces in Afghanistan, are unhappy with the President’s domestic agenda as shown in his health care priorities. Meanwhile, the economy remains sluggish.

So, perhaps there is something there for everyone to like, but also something for everyone to dislike. What do you think? How has Obama Year One been?
