Health Care: A
Obama has been pushing extremely hard to get universal healthcare reforms passed in the US. The reforms he has been working toward will not fix everything, but they are definitely a step in the right direction. Hopefully, what he has worked for won't be shut down if Republicans gain control of the Senate.
Dealing with the Economic Downturn: B
With one of the worst recessions in recent years and extremely high unemployment rates, the economic standpoint has definitely not been helping Obama's approval ratings. Handling the economic downturn is not entirely his fault though when he has made efforts that unfortunately were stymied by Congress like the Jobs Bill. As long as he continues to make efforts to improve the economy, I don't think anyone else would be doing better in his position.
War on Terror: B
Obama inherited the War on Terror when he entered office. It wasn't something he started, but he's been working hard to end it. He has had some successes in the War on Terror as with the death of Osama bin Laden, but he needs to complete what he promised to do which is pulling the troops out of Iraq. His plans to do that soon are promising.
Reelection Bid: B
While it has been revealed that Obama has raised near $70million for his reelection campaign, he has not been receiving the same amount of publicity as all of the Republican candidates vying for the lead. He has made a few efforts planning for the future of his campaign with the jobs bill, but at the moment there is not much momentum for him.
