An interesting follow up to the "good, solid B plus" grade our President gave himself for his first year in office. As it turns out, back in August as part of its special coverage of Obama's "Second Hundred Days", CNN asked its viewers to give the Obama administration grades on a number of issues.

Here is how the American public graded the Obama administration:

Handling of the Economy = C-
Handling of Health Care = D
Handling of Foreign Affairs = C

As for the grade the public gave President Obama himself? C-.

Not exactly the kind of report card kids like to bring home to their parents.

For the record, President Obama's job approval rating in early August after his second hundred days was 54% and his disapproval rating was 40%.

Four months later with a job approval rating of only 48% and a disapproval rating of 45%, it's awfully hard to imagine the public thinks President Obama deserves a higher grade than they gave him in August.

BONUS: Here is Wolf Blitzer grilling White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs back in August on why the public graded the administration so poorly on health care and the economy and what Gibbs would grade their handling of those issues. Hint: it's not as high of a grade as the president gave himself on Oprah.
