History Profs Give Obama "B-." What Do HVAC Techs Say?

History professors across the nation rated Obama "B-" because he's not liberal enough.

I ask the question in my headline "What do HVAC Techs say?" I ask because when you read the article, it specifies areas that the history profs considered:

Complaints:
  • The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) “did not go far enough”
  • The prosecution of Bradley Manning
  • The failure to close Guantanamo Bay
  • Drone strikes against terrorists
Compliments:
  • “Just about the only aspect of Barack Obama’s presidency which has received universal praise from historians has been the president’s Supreme Court appointments,” the pollsters state. “Both Elena Kagan and especially Sonia Sotomayor are highly respected by academics.”
  • They gave him an A- in both the “integrity” and “crisis management” categories
  • They also credited him for ending the Iraq War and killing Osama bin Laden.
What do all these have in common? They're all modern, current policy questions for which an advanced degree in history does not qualify one as an expert.

So, you might as well ask HVAC technicians. Their opinions are equally informed.

This is a non-random citizen opinion poll dressed up in the guise of academic expertise.
