    Hold him accountable for what exactly? What problems did he CREATE? You want accountability but to do that you have to truly understand the problem we are in and how long it took us to get here. The crash of the economy did not start on Jan 29 it started a long time before that. And yes things are looking bad, but no matter who would be in office this would be the same issues, No one not even the incredible flawless Sara could have magically stopped unemployment numbers we are seeing to day. Every signal encomiast agrees on that point. Infact many say he is not spending enough money.

    Did you think that once he got elected that rainbows and unicorns would suddenly appear? Those of us who voted for his didn’t. We understood that this was a huge problem with many many things wrong with it, and it was going to take a lot of different tactics to fix. Some would work and some would not. But no one expected it to be fixed just 6 months into his new Job. There was too much momentum gained at the fall, it is going to take time. .

    So when you talk about Accountability you have to put the blame where it belongs.. and its is to soon to put the blame on Obama.

    Absolutely. Hold him accountable for his decisions, policies, and appointments. Don't blame him for the recession, which clearly started before he was in office. But if you think he mis-handled the recession that he inherited, and you have evidence, fire away. Same goes for the Iraq War, global warming, and the AIG bailout.

    Oh, my grade for him? I'd give him a B so far. I was tempted to go lower, because he's disappointed me on a number of issues. But I give him extra credit for class participation. No, seriously, I like his style and attitude, and the way he relates to leaders abroad. That compensates partly for his lack of toughness against the previous administration and the obstructionists in congress.

    You have the 2010 mid term elections and 2012 elections to hold Obama accountable.

    Not yet, he has to completely fail, and he will, his stimulus spend spend spend will only make his cronies rich and do nothing for the economy, it will fail. His health plan which he is so desperate to pass is going to be a failure irrelevant of whether it passes or not, I don't think it will pass because even the Dems know that it is going to be one big mess, so I am sure that they will not sign on to it. I believe 18 months from now Barrack Obama is going to be one lonely failed President. You want a grade for him as of today "D"

    He was and is accountable from the moment he became president.. that's what presidents do. He is trying very hard to blame everything on Bush.. but damn it.. he is the president now.. so fix it if you don't like it.

    instead, he just whines and carries on the same old crap that Bush did.

    So why did we spend billions on an election..?

    there is no way to take this question seriously, so how can there be a serious answer, and I wouldn't waste my time trying, Have a Great Day :-) some people just don't and won't get it......

    Yes I am an exception, if only there were more like me we wouldn't have these BS questions to ask or answer, again have a great day :-)

    lets grade him just over 7 months great great idea.... he been president he will admit mistakes if he has done them. you people need to give him damn time for god shakes. you can't fix something in 7 months seriously its impossible. If it was bush would of fix it by now.

    I think he needs to be held responsible to the constitution.

    Unemployment kept increasing three years into Ronald Reagan's term, and all the conservatives think he is a hero.

    They need to give Obama the same chance to clean up Bush's mess, which is a lot bigger than Carter's ever was.
