Code Pink's Report Card to Obama in my email box

[Generic Other]

COURSE: Hope and Change
Enrollee: Barack Obama

2 year performance

ARITHMETIC
F
Tripled number of troops in Afghanistan; failed to cut the military budget despite economic crisis

CIVICS
D
For improvement next semester must stop FBI raids on peaceful activists and protect civil liberties!

CONDUCT
B
Tucson speech helped bring a divided country together; boosted American confidence in President at time of tragedy

ENGLISH
A
Great orator for (false) hope; Needs to use his powerful public speaking skills to make real change

GEOGRAPHY
F
Continues to bomb in Geography, from Pakistan to Yemen

HEALTH
C+
Fought for mediocre health care reform but won’t cut military budget to pay for it

HISTORY
F
Homework: Read Johnson’s Blowback: The Costs and
Consequences of American Empire and Jones’ In the Graveyard of Empires: America’s War in Afghanistan

LEADERSHIP
C
Relies too much on previous class President’s ideas. He has not fundamentally changed Bush’s militaristic policies; hasn’t been able to broker equitable peace talks in Middle East; enables
Israeli settlement expansion with military aid funding

PHYSICAL
EDUCATION
WTF
Spent winter break surfing off the shores of Hawaii, instead of studying for Economics class. Cowabunga!

HOME
ECONOMICS
C
Suggest student learn to bake a new pie that gives a bigger slice of the budget to the American people and addresses job loss, foreclosures,
and economic crisis!

Remarks: Mr. Obama, we know you can improve and change your policies. You can use your State of the Union address to redress the wrongs, re-chart the course for American peacemaking which is truly at a crossroads, and bring our country out of this state of
disillusionment and crisis. Your work needs improvement in the months ahead!
