Yeah. I heard Tucker Carlson make a similar comment. He said that Obama should have said that it was up to the American public to grade him. OTOH, a man who had the audacity to accept a Nobel Prize he did not earn could hardly eschew grade inflation when tossed an Oprah softball.... And, btw, Oprah gets an 'F' for interview techniques........lol [I bet Rahmbo put her up to that stupid question. It was painfully obvious that BHO knew it was coming.]

Re: his B+ grade of "hisownself".... Can we imagine ANY of our past presidents doing and saying such a thing? It isn't that it's so crass (after all, the interviewer asked), it's that it's an obvious trap that experienced politicians know to avoid. I might have expected Sarah Palin to walk into the trap, but not Barack Obama. Yesterday I saw three separate pundits react exactly the same way: "I can't believe he was so dumb as to give himself a grade! The correct answer to this question always is: "This is a very difficult job and I have great respect for everybody who has sat in this chair. I will leave the grading to the American people, whose job it is."
