In his interview with Oprah Winfrey Obama gave himself a B+ for job performance<\/a>:<\/p>\n

President Obama told Oprah Winfrey on Sunday night he gives himself a “good, solid B-plus” for his first 11 months in the Oval Office.

Gibson had a good response, he thought he should have taken an incomplete \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
