If he can accomplish all of this in less than 100 days, just imagine what the next 1,365 days have in store for us.
In less than 100 days, Barack Obama has:
- Nominated five tax cheats to his cabinet, including the man who oversees the IRS.
- Pushed through a "stimulus" bill that not one Congressman read before voting for it.
- Promised to put all bills on the Internet for public consumption five days before any votes. That promise was broken with the non-Stimulus bill.
- Banned lobbyists from his administration, while appointing many.
- Pledged to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay.
- Told us the economy was the worst since the Great Depression.
- Told us the economy was better and advised us to buy stocks because “What you’re now seeing is a profit and earnings ratios get to the point that buying stocks is a good thing if you have a long-term perspective on it”. Just imagine if Bush had said this!
- Will produce a larger national debt over the next decade than the first 43 Presidents combined WHILE PROMISING FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY AND TRANSPARENCY!
- Prompted the creation of a new term, "generational theft".
- Bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia while allowing further restrictions on domestic drilling for oil and natural gas .
- Returned a gift from one of our staunchest allies, Great Britain, that was displayed in the White House (a bust of Sir Winston Churchill given to President Bush after 9/11).
- Insulted the prime minister of England and the queen of England with thoughtless gifts.
- Was ridiculed by French president Sarkozy who invited Obama to walk on water at Normandy beach.
- Openly lied that Caterpillar would hire back previously laid off workers if his non-stimulus bill was passed.
- Proved himself to be incapable of communicating without a teleprompter while the press continues to declare him "The Great Communicator". This is the same press who called Bush and idiot and made fun of his speech patterns. I hear more "uh's" uttered during a Obama non-teleprompter-press-conference than from a 10-minute Stuttering John segment on The Howard Stern Show.
- Refused to allow some banks to pay back the TARP money while, at the same time, requiring that government-held preferred shares of stock be converted to common shares thus giving the federal government a large stake in and control of these banks. But don't you worry, he and Geithner say they are not nationalizing the banks!
- Sparked hundreds of protests involving hundreds of thousands of Americans at tea parties regarding irresponsible government spending while Obama's Homeland Security Secretary labels peacefully demonstrating Americans and returning veterans as security risks.
- Has proven that in his world, words speak louder than actions. It's easy to do when the mainstream media has become no more than a dictation service for the administration.
- His Homeland Security Secretary states that illegal immigration is not necessarily "illegal".
- Making enemies out of people in the private sector and ginning up protests by ACORN and labor unions at the homes of AIG executives further fomenting more class warfare.
- Saw no problem with an attainder law passed by Congress to tax AIG executives 90% of their bonuses in direct violation of Article I, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution. Then again, as a good liberal, Obama believes The Constitution is a living, breathing, pliable document composed of negative rights, "it doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf." That's right it doesn't! That's the whole point! He's a law professor and President of the United States for crying out loud!
- Has become a laughing stock around the globe - Putin and Ahmadinejad think he is a joke, Castro thinks he is superficial and the Europeans keep asking, "what the hell are you doing?"
- Commenced the "America is Sorry" world tour. In the words of Karl Rove, "he has apologized on three continents for what he views as the sins of America and his predecessors".
- Was shamed by Iran who took an American journalist hostage while Obama promises better relations.
- Was humiliated by North Korea with their missile launch while he called for the reduction in our missile and nuclear arms capabilities.
- Listened patiently while Daniel Ortega falsely charged the United States for every evil in the world without a single word objection. "I'm grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three months old". That's leadership!
- Threatened to prosecute former Bush legal advisers and, in typical Obama fashion, never looks at the unintended consequences of such.
- Offered up laughable budget cuts ($100 million) while pushing through a multi-TRILLION dollar budget.
- Hung Israel out to dry with an enemy that has, on multiple occasions, threatened to wipe them off the map and is months away from developing a nuclear weapon. Another stellar example of outstanding leadership!
- Released cherry-picked secret documents for the world to see our interrogation tactics while leaving out what was garnered from those tactics.
- Repeatedly demonstrated his belief that the world was a mess prior to his arrival on the scene. There might be something to this "messianic complex" accusation.
Clearly no one in this administration has ever played chess where you must think two or three moves ahead; otherwise known in the real world as the law of unintended consequences. Every move this administration makes is done with, what appears to be, reckless disregard for the consequences of their actions.
Ask yourself one question: if any ONE of the occurrences highlighted above had happened between 2000-2008, what do you think the reaction of the mainstream media would have been? Not a regurgitation of White House talking points I can assure you of that.
Most of you probably recognize one of the core problems in America right now is APATHY. It is fed by a mainstream media which has the same agenda as the Democrat Party. The media is not supposed to have an agenda regardless of who occupies the White House. Instead of reporting the news, they are cheerleading and cherry-picking their coverage.
1,365 days and counting!
