With President Obama completing his first year in office this week, we are giving you the chance to weigh in on how you think he has done on the job. Below are 10 categories for you to give the president your grade (in A-F format), including an overall grade at the end.

It’s been a year of highs and lows, from winning the Nobel Peace Prize to adding trillions of dollars to the national debt by enacting massive government spending programs – while continuing to battle for a nearly $1 trillion overhaul of the nation’s health care system. His job approval rating also have gone from high to low, down nearly 20 points since taking office. How would you grade President Obama’s first year in office?

Mr. President, it's time to face the music and help America to do the same. This Wednesday evening, you will give your State of the Union speech. And millions upon millions of us are wondering whether you will sugarcoat the truth again — whether you will pad your performance over this past year or confess that the plans and path Washington is taking are plummeting our country deeper into the abyss. If you convey the real status of the union, then you must confess that we are truly no better off (and much worse off in many respects) than we...

he Wall Street Journal is reporting the following about GM's sort-of sale of Hummer to the Chinese: “While many believe the deal will have difficulty garnering regulatory approval in China, others said they wouldn’t rule out the possibility that the government will support the deal so that Hummer’s technology could be used to improve China’s military vehicles. Andrew Chen, an investment manager for Foreopen.com in Pittsburgh, who has been following the deal closely, said Sichuan historically has been a home for production of Chinese military automobiles. He speculated that the government may be encouraging the deal and might even help...

Let me count them up, in no particular order. Some are big. Some are small. We all make mistakes. Here’s his: 1. A do-over on the oath of office. 2. Tim Geithner. 3. Bill Richardson. 4. Tom Daschle. 5. Eric “Nation of Cowards” Holder. 6. Leon Panetta. 7. Arne “Cappuccino” Duncan. 8. Hilda Solis (OK, her husband has the tax liens). 9. Nancy Killefer. 10. Charles Freeman Jr. 11. Ron Kirk. 12. Adolfo Carrion. 13. Banning offshore oil again. 14. Letting Nancy Pelosi write the $787 billion “stimulus’ plan. 15. Relying on Tim Geithner to explain it. 16. It is...

The report card is in for the Obama Adminstration. The grades are bad, but the troubling thing is that these economists were very confident just a couple of months ago that the President and his team were completely capable of handling the problem.
