HONOLULU -- As President Barack Obama finishes his first year in office, many Americans are reflecting on his accomplishments so far.

In the last election, nearly 75 percent of the registered Hawaii voters cast their ballot for Obama; however, some supporters didn't give him as high of marks as some of those who voted against him.

There has been no shortage of events over the past year on which to grade the president's performance, such as the recession, to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and even the disaster in Haiti.

"I'd give him a 'B' because he can get better, that's why," resident Chris Solo said.

"Right now, I'd give him an 'A-' and I’m a college professor so I am good at grading," Kaimuki resident Amy Brown said.

Even those who gave the president high marks said there were things he needs to work on during his second year in office.

"I would like him to look at our military and how he can keep our people home," Kapolei resident Davelynn Smith said.

While it was hard to find any failing grades for the president, some thought he was just doing an average job.

"I would give him a 'C.' I understand, when he became president, America was doing well with foreign policies and it took him a while to gain the trust of other countries," Kalihi resident Shota Mkheidza said.

Many were in agreement Obama did not rush in and make hasty decisions.

What may be even more telling than the As and Bs from the president's supporters is the good grade he got from some Republicans.

"'B+, A-' -- I think he has done a good job, all things considered. I actively campaigned for his opponent, actually," Honolulu resident Brian Bott said.

In a recent national poll, about 50 percent of voters approve of the job the president is doing, while about 45 percent do not.
