WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is giving himself "a good solid B-plus" grade for his first year in office.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired Sunday night, the president claimed progress on economic and international fronts.
Obama says the only thing that stands in the way of giving himself a better grade is the fact that some elements of his agenda — health care reform and putting more Americans to work — remain undone.
On the ABC special "Christmas at the White House," Obama told Winfrey that "the biggest burden on me right now is that economic growth has happened, but job growth has not happened."
He sees as a plus the fact that the United States is pulling out of Iraq and says the U.S. is on the correct path in Afghanistan.

P.S.
He sure is over-confident about his accomplishments!
The question is: What grade do Americans give him?
