Since I am a professor here are my grades
Grade for Republicans on their PR machine: A-
I am usually stingy with As, but the mere fact that the GOP party was decimated in the last two elections, practically on the brink of extinction (not really), but have surged from No-Where, means they get an A- for effort. The Minus is for their reliance on LIES/MORE LIES/HYSTERIA/DECEIT/HYPOCRISY. In other words, upon reflection, I could say they CHEATED for that grade. But since the public hasn't yet caught on to their cheating strategy, the grade A- stands. If the public catches on, then the cheating penalty is included, and the grade goes down (maybe they don't sweep in to office in the fall after all).
Obama/DEM Grades are below the fold:
Grade for Obama/Democrats their PR machine: D (for now, but I may consider an Incomplete)
Rather than extol the pitiful & disorganized PR machine of Obama's White House and the DEMS who control EVERYTHING (let's not blame everything on the Senate Rules - I mean they had the votes but they couldn’t bring themselves to play hardball), let's say there is still time for them improve on their miserable record since Obama came into office.
Actually, the best comment on the Obama/DEM PR effort was written by a diarist last night:
"The GOP has what the DEMS need badly: An almost unbelievable, irrational tenacity."
This is just February. The semester doesn't end until May when the final grades are in. Then we have the summer to do make-up (or summer school), since I am sure the DEMS will still need to improve. So look at these grades as Spring Semester Mid-Terms. The DEMS are on probation and the Republicans - I am (we are) watching your ass closely!!!
