Grading the President?

The inaguration is fast-approaching, meaning the end of a long eight-year journey for President George W. Bush.

Opinions are inevitable when it comes to the leader of the Free World, yet is it right to 'grade' the President?

Msnbc.msn.com now gives viewers the opportunity to play 'Teacher' and participate in a Live Vote grading former President George W. Bush's performance in the White House. 

Do you guys think it's right to sum up his past eight years with a simple report card?; The choice of 'A, B, C, D, or F?'   What grade would you give him?



In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
