How do you fairly grade an assignment that hasn't completely been finished? A colleague of mine recently attempted to grade Obama's work as president. Every article, every news station, and even Jon Stewart on Comedy Central's the Daily Show have something to say about what Obama is doing in Washington. Obama's recent project: the health care reform. Some people see it as the only thing he's been able to accomplish as president, even though he is currently working on several different major projects at once. Guantanamo Bay, the peace treaties with Russia and Israel, the war in Iraq, and the economic stimulus are only some of the changes Obama has been working on in the past year and a half. So how do you grade a project that hasn't yet reached the deadline? I can't personally say that I think Obama is doing a great job or a horrible job as president. The author of the recently written blog themselves agree that it is hard to say what will come over the next two and a half years. Obama does have some hard critics that are just waiting to see him fail, and I can see how some would be quick to fail him, the decline in the economy being the number one reason. My personal opinion, don't be too quick to deliver a grade to an assigment that hasn't been turned in yet.
