5. Typical
17% gave him a "B" - together, the A and B voters make up the 29% RW dead-enders we've come to expect in this country.

Bush is the victim of an unfair Liberal media.

15. I can 't believe that 38.7% gave an average or better.
Seriously...? We know the A people are just sycophants who are just as disconnected from reality as Bush and his cronies are. They are the total idiots, or members of the Bush/Cheney/Rove family. I guess that was redundant. You can argue a D cause we haven't been wiped of the face of the earth. How the hell would you grade a B or C even? Those are fairly objective grades that take into account the difference between excellence, proficiency, and just average performance. That makes no sense with Chimpy's presidency. D or F are the only grades that make sense if you aren't a totally ass licker. He was deficient in almost every way, he showed no mastery of the skills needed to perform his duties, he showed no willingness to learn. He failed or was close to failing in every way.

46. Yes but there has been a huge
effort to rewrite history in the past couple of months. Many people are reconsidering their position on Bush.

19. What grade did you think I would give him?
after starting wars over oil, destroying our economy, trying to turn our nation into a police state and destroying everything he touched.

very destructive and very, very costly to our country, to the world, and to our children's futures.

Not only has he not shown up for class, it's doubtful if he ever even enrolled.

Obviously this scale cannot fully encompass the horror of the past 8 years.

Many seem to be ignoring or forgetting that things haven't swung around as much as we'd hoped. The 46% that thought McCain/Palin were acceptable should have tipped them off but reality sucks to accept.

We'll have to proceed much more craftily than many are willing to admit. Its not over by any stretch, we'll have continue to play the game to a large degree.

39. 45% F
That's cheering. It's pretty extreme for almost 50% of people to give him that extreme a score.

12% is about what I thought the percentage of total effing morons would be in the general population. I always thought *s approval numbers belonged in the teens.
