Barack Obama gets an A+ on his LGBT actions....

not real crazy about some of his other issues but he deserves total credit on all the things he has done for the LGBT community. He totally took the political risks to support things like gay marriage and his stance has been valuable. Now some here would say the details on his outreach can be quibbled, and perhaps they can, but good on him for this.

He arrived late to class, looked over at the test of the person sitting next to him and then copied the answers.

So I would cancel the test score and make him take a retest with different question.

Look, I'm glad he seems to have gotten there, but he wasn't leading, he was following.

A B- as he did actually get rid of DADT, something no one else, even St. Bill and Hillary, did not have the guts to do.
