Incomplete grades mean that a significant amount of the expected work required by the course has not been accomplished, at all. It means you missed a test or a presentation or a significant assignment, without which you are likely to fail, and you have persuaded the professor to be merciful. We are under no obligation to do so, and very rarely do we.
President Obama likes to give himself grades. After his first year in office, he graded himself with a B+. Now, he’s lowered the bar and given himself a grade of incomplete. I know what that means. It means he vastly overrated his capabilities and bit off more than he could chew. Although he may think he’s giving an ‘A’ effort, his work doesn’t support that claim. Although he may claim that success in this course matters, where he spends his time and efforts tell a different story.
Mostly, Obama deals in trivial matters. He works on his golf game, playing 104 games during his presidency so far. He plays card games and basketball and bowls a 94. He fills out NCAA brackets. His landmark legislation is Obamacare (which the people opposed by a margin of 52%) and the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Obama goes to interviews with nonsensical journalism outlets and brags about how well he doodles and makes chili. Who cares? Throw the coins, boy, the people are hungry! He celebrates things that are largely inconsequential, and that’s where he spends his time.
I'm only allowed to give grades of incomplete for exigent circumstances such as extreme medical problems or military deployments. Also, you usually only have a year from the time you score an "incomplete" to fix it, or it automatically becomes an "F" on your transcript. Ergo, an "incomplete" is not something of which to be proud. Furthermore, since when do people give themselves grades? None of my students give themselves a grade, just as I am not allowed to rate myself. This is poppycock.
Contrary to his notion, Obama doesn’t care much about being a good president, let alone a mediocre one. In fact, his efforts show that he intended to create exactly what we have. If he really cared, he’d be out asking the people, who will issue him a grade on 6 November, how to fix his grade. Instead, he flips us the bird at every opportunity and legislates by executive order instead, a gross violation of the Constitution he swore to uphold. Furthermore, he offers unsolicited advice and tells a lot of paradoxical things (like it’s your body if you want an abortion but not when it comes to dinner time). Apparently, he already thinks he knows everything.
This weekend, I rewatched the first Harry Potter movie. I feel like I’m watching Harry Potter come to Hogwarts as if possessed of abilities so formidable that he doesn’t need anyone else and that his failures don’t matter. Fame isn’t everything, and neither is Obama’s personality, because people are getting fed up with him. The evidence supports that, because they are out there in the media attacking his opponents and buoying up every jejune minutia that might possibly make Obama seem cool and caring when quite frankly I feel like he views me as the Roman deities viewed their people- largely an annoyance, however necessary we might be to a continuation of his power.
The only way in which I can conceive that Obama considers his work incomplete is that he hasn’t completely destroyed or reformed America into something abjectly foreign. Some tiny vestiges of what made America great remain, more than he expected, and so as we cling to our Guns and our Bibles rather than worshipping him, he can’t stand that. He wants us dependent on him. I have said before that Liberals will always think you have too much money and too much liberty until you have none at all of either. They do not care how much swag they have amidships as long as anyone else has any in their hold.
Obama is a failure in everything except the final assignment of his grade. He can’t even play basketball well, bowl consistently, or golf competitively. Maybe he can doodle, but we don’t need a doodler- we need a president, a leader, a solution. If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the precipitate, and Obama is proud that he’s a loser. He always has been, even in his first autobiography when he was unabashedly proud that he did so much drugs that he can’t remember much of High School. This just supports the notion that Obama keeps his college transcripts secret because his grades don’t justify his claims to accomplishment. In fact, they probably show he got piss-poor grades and was just as much of a failure then as he is now.
In November, make Obama’s “I” revert to an “F”. Put him back where he belongs- in the hall of mediocrity, which is all his records justify. Incomplete work everywhere else in the real world gets you a demerit and a pay cut. Imagine if we had only won a war halfway- oh wait, we did and it's called every war since Vietnam. He's had his chance. A vote for anyone other than Romney is a vote for Obama, and it's time someone else had the opportunity to pull the sword from the stone.
