In Oprah Winfrey's Sunday night program Christmas at the White House, President Barack Obama said he would give himself a B+ for his accomplishments this year.

"I think we have inherited the biggest set of challenges of any president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt," he said. "We stabilized the economy. ... We are on our way out of Iraq. I think we've got the best possible plan for Afghanistan. We have reset our image around the world."

Obama says his grade will change once Congress passes its much-debated health care bill.

"If I get health care passed, we tip into A-," he said.
