    50 Days That Changed the World

    50 Days That Changed the World

    ...It's hard to imagine we're only 50 days into the Barack Obama Presidency.

    ** Obama is on track to spend more money than any person in the history of the planet.

    ** Obama and Pelosi's stimulus bill was the largest spending bill in the history of the planet.

    ** Obama and democrats have already saddled America's children and grand children with massive debt. Not that this bothers them.

    ** He's lost at least 3 administration nominees due to tax fraud.

    ** He's promoted a tax cheat to run the IRS and Treasury.

    ** He's reneged on missile agreements with allies Poland and the Czech Republic.

    ** He's insulted America's greatest ally, Great Britain.

    ** His administration has already met with the murderous Assad Regime from Syria.

    Rescue workers and soldiers stand around a huge crater after a bomb attack that tore through the motorcade of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in Beirut, Lebanon. Investigators have linked the Assad regime to the attack.


    ** ** Obama signed legislation to close Gitmo.
    ** Obama freed a dirty bomber from Gitmo to Great Britain.
    ** Obama told US soldiers and marines in Afghanistan, "We're losing."

    It's a safe to say that Barack Obama could never have led America during WW II without surrendering. (Numbers from Iraq Casualties and GP)



    ** Obama's VP told US soldiers and marines that US deaths will rise in Afghanistan.

    ** Obama has already discussed holding peace talks with the Taliban.

    ** The Obama stock market had its worst January in 113 years.

    ** The stock market had its worst February since 1933.

    ** The Dow has dropped faster under Obama than any other new president in 90 years.

    ** Obama's budget more than doubles the national debt held by the public, and adds more to the debt than all previous presidents -- from George Washington to George W. Bush -- combined.



    http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_L6pDyjqqsv...-h/deficit.gif

    ** Obama managed to spend more than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

    ** Obama will quadruple the deficit this year.

    ** Cap & trade was introduced that will cost America 4 million jobs and cost Americans at least $700 per family per year.

    ** Team Obama announced easing restrictions with communist Cuba.

    ** Meanwhile, democrats further restricted free trade with ally Colombia.

    ** Obama passed legislation to fund foreign abortions.

    ** Obama passed legislation to fund embryonic stem cell research.

    ** Democrats already banned offshore drilling.

    ** Democrats scrapped oil and gas leases in Utah for energy development.

    ** Obama's party permanently banned drilling in ANWR.

    I wonder why Obama and Pelosi and other democrats want to keep us dependent on Arab oil, just asking but it's only natural to wonder what their motives really are.

    The way the Obama's treated the Prime Minister of Britain was inexcusable, just because they hold a grudge against Britain. Maybe he should have been upfront about some of his hatred and grudges during the election. He is no different than his hateful Rev. Wright.

    If Mr Brown was from some African country or a Muslem country he probably would have received a royal welcome.

    Shame on you BO.

    "52 days, 52 mistakes”

    Don Surber has started a D’Ohbama Tally.

    http://blogs.dailymail.com/donsurber...s-52-mistakes/

    That’s a full-time job, Don. You sure you wanna take that on?

    Let me count them up, in no particular order. Some are big. Some are small.

    We all make mistakes. Here’s his:

    1. A do-over on the oath of office.

    2. Tim Geithner.

    3. Bill Richardson.

    4. Tom Daschle.

    5. Eric “Nation of Cowards” Holder.

    6. Leon Panetta.

    7. Arne “Cappuccino” Duncan.

    8. Hilda Solis (OK, her husband has the tax liens).

    9. Nancy Killefer.

    10. Charles Freeman Jr.

    11. Ron Kirk.

    12. Adolfo Carrion.

    13. Banning offshore oil again.

    14. Letting Nancy Pelosi write the $787 billion “stimulus’ plan.

    15. Relying on Tim Geithner to explain it.

    16. It is a $13-a-week stimulus, or as his wife said of Bush’s plan: “You’re getting $600. What can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything. But maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn’t pay down every bill every month.”

    17. Going to a press conference without a TelePrompTer. I… Uhh… Umm… Could you repeat the question?

    18. Using a TelePrompTer at a press conference. Big boys don’t need training wheels.

    19. “Good evening, everybody. Please be seated. Before I take your questions tonight, I’d like to speak briefly.” 1,228 words later he took his first question.

    20. Going after Rush Limbaugh.

    21. Going after Rick Santelli.

    22. Going after Jim Cramer.

    23.
    “Never waste a good crisis.”
    24. Obama supporter Warren Buffett: “I don’t think anybody on December 7th would have said a ‘war is a terrible thing to waste, and therefore we’re going to try and ram through a whole bunch of things and — but we expect to — expect the other party to unite behind us on the — on the big problem.’ It’s just a mistake, I think.”

    25. Writing a love letter to Vlad and Dmitry.

    26. Putting Poland under the bus.

    27. Putting Tibet under the bus.

    28. Putting Israel under the bus.

    29. Taking Cuba out from under the bus.

    30. Having his tax cheat go after the tax cheats in Switzerland. Cognitive dissonance.

    31. “Karzai has a bunker mentality.”

    32. Iran has plans to Marine One helicopters.

    33. “I won.”

    34. BlackBerry singing in the middle of the night/ Take these golden secrets and learn to fly…

    35. Obama:
    “If Congress passes our plan, this company will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off.”
    CEO:
    No. There will be more layoffs.
    36. DVDs to Gordon Brown.

    37. “You can’t take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers’ dime.” Vegas convention bookings nosedive.

    38. Wagyu.

    39. Reset/overcharge button given to Russia.

    40. Taking a 4-day holiday weekend before signing “emergency” legislation.

    41.
    “I did think it might be useful to point out that it wasn’t under me that we started buying a bunch of shares of banks. It wasn’t on my watch. And it wasn’t on my watch that we passed a massive new entitlement — the prescription drug plan — without a source of funding. And so I think it’s important just to note when you start hearing folks throw these words around that we’ve actually been operating in a way that has been entirely consistent with free-market principles and that some of the same folks who are throwing the word ’socialist’ around can’t say the same.”
    42. Stiffing Chicago for nearly $2 million for that Election Night par-tay.

    43. Caroline Kennedy.

    44. Bombing Pakistan.

    45. Sending the bust of Sir Winston Churchill back to the British.

    46. Saying: “President Obama has accomplished more in 30 days than any president in modern history.”

    47. A window is not a door.

    48. Doctors must perform abortions.

    49. Signing earmarks while denouncing them.

    50. Adding signing statements while denouncing them.

    51. Quadrupling the deficits, while denouncing them.

    52. Missing the Gridiron Club dinner.
    But be of good cheer. He has 1,409 days left to make up for his stumbles out of the starting gate.



    How Popular is President Obama ?

    It seems that whenever I read an MSM article on the president, they describe the Illinois Democrat as “popular” because his approval ratings are well above those of his predecessor during his second term.

    Yet, as I ponder the use of that adjective, I wonder how often (if at all) reporters used it to describe President Bush from September 2001 until the summer of 2003 when his approval begin to dip below the levels where his successor currently finds himself.

    Indeed, I wonder if they used the term before September 11, 2001. In the first few months of his first term, Bush’s approval ratings, while starting below where Obama’s did, did not fall as quickly as have those of his successor. As pollsters Douglas Schoen and Scott Rasmussen point out in today’s Wall Street Journal,

    Polling data show that Mr. Obama’s approval rating is dropping and is below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001. Rasmussen Reports data shows that Mr. Obama’s net presidential approval rating — which is calculated by subtracting the number who strongly disapprove from the number who strongly approve — is just six, his lowest rating to date.

    Overall, Rasmussen Reports shows a 56%-43% approval, with a third strongly disapproving of the president’s performance. This is a substantial degree of polarization so early in the administration. Mr. Obama has lost virtually all of his Republican support and a good part of his Independent support, and the trend is decidedly negative.
    As Glenn might say, read the whole thing! http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1236...mEditorialPage

    Schoen, by the way, was a pollster to President Clinton. In the 2008 election, Rasmussen’s final tracking poll nearly perfectly anticipated Obama’s popular vote victory.

    I read a similar article today that noted that 58 MILLION AMERICANS voted AGAINST Obama. Many of us didn’t vote FOR McCain, either. We are still out here.

    The “third strongly disapprove” of Obama is a very bad sign for this President.

    Perhaps he needs to go back to Harvard and learn more about how the American government works and the principles upon which it was founded.

    Just a thought. Plus, it’s all in the spin…

    A. You can have a “massive mandate to govern” with 53% majority of the Vote.
    ~ OR ~

    B. …you can barely be elected with the support of less than 53% of the general electorate.

    I’ll call the later, and point to the fall of the Stock Market since his election…and his inauguration. From my small business perspective he hasn’t done squat other than scare the Middle-Class in the red and purple parts of America.

    Obama’s Second Verse: Same As The First


    The Politico reports: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/20007.html

    The White House on Sunday began harnessing every part of the Democratic Party’s machinery to defend President Obama’s budget and portray Republicans as reflexively political, according to party strategists.
    ***
    [O]fficials throughout the party plan to hammer the idea that Republicans are just saying “no” to the president’s budget plans without offering their own alternative.
    ***
    David Plouffe, manager of Obama’s presidential race, helped design the strategy, which includes the most extensive activation since November of the campaign’s grassroots network. The database—which includes information for at least 10 million donors, supporters and volunteers—will now be used as a unique tool for governing, with former canvassers now being enlisted to mobilize support for the president’s legislative agenda.


    The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee pushed the “Party of ‘No’” line with respect to their party’s massive spending package in January. http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.c...1785C9F9742D67 The same spin turns up time and again in the establishment media.

    Although I once opined that Barack Obama’s netroots could be the most important tool in US politics, his last netroots appeal was widely seen as a failure.

    Beating the “Party of ‘No’” drum has not stopped Pres. Obama’s approval numbers from dropping below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001. Nor has it stopped the establishment — now including David S. Broder — from declaring The Oneymoon is over, well before the end of the traditional 100 days. The Democrats must be hoping that pumping up the volume will distract people from the substance of the Obama Administration’s plans.

    The New Obama Is The Old McCain


    They told Glenn that if he voted for McCain our health care benefits would be taxed. And they were right! The Times explains that the Obama Administration is now backing what they denounced during the campaign as ""the largest middle-class tax increase in history."

    Administration Is Open to Taxing Health Benefits
    By JACKIE CALMES and ROBERT PEAR


    WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is signaling to Congress that the president could support taxing some employee health benefits, as several influential lawmakers and many economists favor, to help pay for overhauling the health care system.

    The proposal is politically problematic for President Obama, however, since it is similar to one he denounced in the presidential campaign as “the largest middle-class tax increase in history.” Most Americans with insurance get it from their employers, and taxing workers for the benefit is opposed by union leaders and some businesses.

    In television advertisements last fall, Mr. Obama criticized his Republican rival for the presidency, Senator John McCain of Arizona, for proposing to tax all employer-provided health benefits. The benefits have long been tax-free, regardless of how generous they are or how much an employee earns. The advertisements did not point out that Mr. McCain, in exchange, wanted to give all families a tax credit to subsidize the purchase of coverage.

    At the time, even some Obama supporters said privately that he might come to regret his position if he won the election; in effect, they said, he was potentially giving up an important option to help finance his ambitious health care agenda to reduce medical costs and to expand coverage to the 46 million uninsured Americans. Now that Mr. Obama has begun the health debate, several advisers say that while he will not propose changing the tax-free status of employee health benefits, neither will he oppose it if Congress does so.

    At a recent Congressional hearing, Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat whose own health plan would make benefits taxable, asked Peter R. Orszag, the president’s budget director, about the issue. Mr. Orszag replied that it “most firmly should remain on the table.”

    Mr. Orszag, an economist who has served as director of the Congressional Budget Office, has written favorably of taxing some employer-provided health benefits and using the revenue savings for other health-related incentives. So has another Obama adviser, Jason Furman, the deputy director of the White House National Economic Council.

    They, like other proponents, cite evidence that tax-free benefits encourage what Mr. McCain called “gold-plated” policies, resulting in inefficient and costly demands for health care and pressure on employers to hold down workers’ pay as insurance expenses rise. And, they say, the policy discriminates against those — many of whom are low-income workers — who do not have employer-provided coverage.
    More on Obama's Mediscare compaign from David Gratzer at NRO. http://article.nationalreview.com/?q...k0YzA2NTNiMzQ=

    The Singularity Sensation opines that these trial balloons are about plausible deniability:
    As with the Bu$h administration, there are always the Some and They, the measured pragmatists telling everyone how it really ought to be done.

    Unless there's a great political groundswell all your health benefits are about to be taxed. And if there is a popular opposition against it, the One will get on the tube and tell everybody, why, this wasn't his idea, but some nameless faceless person in his Administration, and of course he won't let it happen.
    Did "Hope and Change" mean voters were hoping that Obama would change into McCain? :shudder:

    Obama: A Study in Presidential Arrogance
    Warner Todd Huston
    Tuesday, March 17th at 8:06AM EDT


    The whole world was supposed to fall at his feet. He was supposed to spend the next four to eight years (or four to ten as he once said during the late campaign) just making airy pronouncements while everyone danced lemming-like to his tune of hope-n-change. It was supposed to be easy. Heck, The One himself even pronounced that he enjoyed being president. “And it turns out I’m very good at it,” he assured everyone during a luncheon with TV anchors a few weeks ago.

    Obama simply didn’t imagine that he had to worry too much about those nagging details like making sure his nominees were vetted and had paid their taxes. He didn’t think that those silly 8,500 earmarks in his budget needed eliminating like he kept talking about in the campaign. For that matter, he didn’t even realize he was supposed to become involved in creating that stimulus bill. And foreign policy? Why our enemies were supposed to want him to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony while our allies were supposed to simply take it all on faith that we still love them like bosom buddies. Move along. Nothing to see here.


    You see, Obama is a campaigner. And, him being the Obammessiah and all, he thinks that all he has to do is be there, his God-like presence healing all rifts, fixing all errors, causing the sun to shine. He is the change he has been waiting for, after all. I mean, he didn’t imagine he’d actually have to do anything once he got to the White House, to be sure.

    Sadly, he’s more like Chauncey Gardner than Jesus Christ, quite despite the constant religious iconography lovingly bestowed upon him by the lapdog media.

    But the bill is soon coming to be paid.

    Washington’s Newest Reality Show: Taxes Paid or No Taxes Paid

    So, Obama started off with his nominees for various government positions. Vetting? Don’t worry. He won, remember? Whoever he announces, the Senate will confirm. It’s a done deal, a piece of cake. We all loves us some Barack.

    Then came Geithner, Daschel and a host of others that didn’t pay their taxes. Some nominees even had to drop out of consideration over this tiny, insignificant, uninteresting error. A black eye for team Obama? How could it be? But does Obama blame himself? Sort of. He pretends at saying “I goofed” but never really says what he goofed up on. The real blaming from team Obama is for the Senate, Obamsters saying it has been far harder for him to get nominees confirmed because three years of tax records demanded of nominees is excessive.

    Turns out, the truth is a tad different. According to Charles Grassley (R, Iowa), the Senate hasn’t changed a thing. The requirements are the same for Obama’s nominees as they had been for Bush’s.

    Regardless Obama pushed nominees that he knew had tax troubles anyway. Why? Byron York addresses that: http://www.dcexaminer.com/politics/W...-41336037.html


    I asked a Senate source close to the nominating process why the troubled nominations kept coming, in spite of the tax problems. “I think it was the administration underestimating what the grassroots folks who elected President Obama were going to object to,” the source told me. With the out-of-touch White House firmly behind the nominees, Senate Democrats got the message that they, too, needed to line up in support. So they did — until they started hearing from outside the Washington bubble. “If you look at Daschle’s experience, he came out of a meeting with members of the committee, and the Democratic members said they supported him,” the insider pointed out. “But on the next day he withdrew.”
    It was arrogance. Obama assumed that because “I won” he’d be able to get anyone he wanted in any position whatsoever.

    LOOK, Nuthin’ up My Sleeve… What Earmarks?

    The stimulus bill was also a surprise hit against team Obama. The president didn’t waste any time involving himself in crafting the legislation, leaving the whole thing to Nancy Pelosi (D, CA) and her wild spending House cronies. The Democratic House leadership excluded Republican input, but Obama had drinks with some Republicans, so everything was cool. And, then the GOP began to win on the earmark issue causing public opinion to turn against the stimulus at least on that issue. Still, he got his stimulus if only begrudgingly.

    Now, can anyone say that his economic plan has met with approval by the markets, though? Since he took office things have gotten far worse it must be noted.

    What happened? Hadn’t The One made his proclamation that this was an emergency? He had spoken, dang it all! Without it NOW we are doomed, he told us… on the other hand the economy is “fundamentally sound.” I seem to recall Obama ridiculing McCain for the very same statement back in 2008 when the economy wasn’t in nearly as bad a shape as it is now.

    Yes, a head spinning about face in a matter of days, that.

    Ally, Ally, Whose Got The Ally?

    Obama is making also making major mistakes with foreign policy. His arrogance is costing us precious time lost with allies and enemies alike. In fact, he can’t seem to make up his mind which is which. Are enemies allies or are allies enemies? Is he ambivalent to allies, keen to make friends with enemies, and ignorant of security all at the same time? The Eight Ball says “yes.” He is being seen as weak to enemies and entirely unconcerned with allies — a dangerous combination. And enemies are rushing in to fill the void during Obama’s foreign policy dithering.

    In an effort to distance himself from Bush policy, Obama has sent signals to America’s Middle Eastern allies that they are on hold or not as important as they once were. Leaders in Israel, Iraq and Afghanistan went weeks without being contacted by Obama’s foreign policy team (or Obama himself, for that matter) and when they were they were treated coldly.

    According to Amir Taheri, this has emboldened our enemies many of whom are rushing in to claim a newfound sense of power over American interests in the Mid East.

    Taheri says that Obama’s disinterested treatment of allies, his aloofness, has caused “concern that the US may be abandoning its allies” and that this “has led to a number of panic moves” in the region. In most cases, our allies are being targeted for political destruction since it appears that the US is no longer strongly backing them.

    And why is Obama doing this? Because he is holding out for those famous “no preconditions” summits he ballyhooed during the campaign. As he waits to see who bites on his diplomatic cotton candy first, he’s allowing allies to lose stature every day. Apparently, he assumes that they will still be there once he deigns to pay attention to them. On top of that, those enemies he is trying to buddy up to are putting him off as long as possible while they solidify their newfound power right under Obama’s upturned nose.

    And Obama’s mishandling isn’t only with Mid East allies as we saw with his many diplomatic blunders with the British last week and now the Mexicans this week.

    It’s all born of arrogance. He doesn’t have to work on anything, you see? He’s The One, don’t you know? Success should be showered upon him like it always has. Work is what other people do.

    Obama better get his house in order and soon. As Fred Barnes said recently, “at some point, reality will intrude, followed by accountability.” But how much damage will occur before that political bill, that accountability comes due?

    http://www.redstate.com/warner_todd_...ial-arrogance/

    How can you tell if an Øbama appointed cheated on his taxes last year?

    Ask him if he’s filed.

    Here’s your feelgood story of the day: President Obama is saying “thanks for all your support” to the media behemoths who carried his water during the campaign by swiping a valuable hour of time during May Sweeps: http://www.tvguide.com/News/Presiden...s-1005413.aspx

    White House officials have requested up to an hour of airtime for Wednesday, April 29, according to TV Week. The press conference, which falls on the 100th day of Obama’s presidency, will probably air in the 8 o’clock hour and address questions of the president’s performance.

    Broadcast networks have not yet announced their response, but a source said that they will most likely agree to the administration’s request.
    I hope Obama ends up “requesting” time every night in prime time — so much so that even Mussolini would think he’s overdoing it on the media control. It’s the least the networks deserve.

    But, if Obama’s press conference next Wednesday interferes with the Tigers/Yankees game that night on ESPN, then my network schadenfreude will turn to frustration

    Quotes from Barack Obama in his first 100 days as president
    By The Associated Press
    April 25, 2009


    "Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met."

    — Inaugural address on Jan. 20.

    "I can say without exception or equivocation that the United States will not torture."

    Remarks on Jan. 22 to employees at the State Department, the same day he signed orders to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center.

    "I will be held accountable. You know, I've got four years. ... If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition."

    Interview aired Feb. 2 on NBC's "Today" show.

    "I'm here on television saying I screwed up."

    Interview with NBC's "Nightly News with Brian Williams," on Feb. 3, after abruptly abandoning his nomination fight for Tom Daschle a little more than 24 hours after he had said he was "absolutely" committed to his health nominee. Obama did similar interviews that day with all five television networks.

    "We have begun the essential work of keeping the American dream alive in our time."

    Before he signed into law a $787 billion stimulus package on Feb. 17 2009

    "The impact of this recession is real and it is everywhere. But while our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken, though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before."

    His first address to a joint session of Congress on Feb 24. 2009


    "It's hard to move around out there sometimes, so I've got to bring the world to me."

    At a March 4 dinner with congressional leaders, Cabinet members and White House aides.


    "Our government has forced what I believe is a false choice between sound science and moral values."

    Remarks on March 9 as he signed documents changing science policy and removing what some researchers have said were shackles on their work.



    "It was like the Special Olympics or something."

    Comment during an appearance March 19 on NBC's "Tonight" show, telling host Jay Leno he's been practicing at the White House bowling alley but wasn't happy with his score of 129. A spokesman quickly said Obama's remark was not meant to disparage the Special Olympics, only to poke some fun at his bowling skills.



    "It took us a couple of days because I like to know what I'm talking about before I speak."

    Comment after he was asked at a news conference March 24 why it took him so long to express outrage over executive bonuses at the big insurer American International Group Inc.


    "I remind everybody, the United States of America did not choose to fight a war in Afghanistan. Nearly 3,000 of our people were killed on September 11th, 2001, for doing nothing more than going about their daily lives."

    [i]Remarks on March 27 announcing plans to send 4,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan, part of a broad escalation troops.


    "The United States is not, and will never be, at war with Islam."

    Address to the Turkish parliament on April 6 2009.


    "It is time for us to transition to the Iraqis. They need to take responsibility for their country."

    Comment to about 600 U.S. soldiers during a visit to Baghdad on April 7 2009


    "I'm here to launch a new chapter of engagement that will be sustained throughout my administration."

    Statement to the heads of every democratic government across the Western Hemisphere, at the opening of the Summit of the Americas on April 17 2009


    "I try to figure out what's right in terms of American interests, and on this one I think I'm right."

    At an April 19 news conference, on critics of his friendly exchange with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at that summit.

    The way the Obama's treated the Prime Minister of Britain was inexcusable, just because they hold a grudge against Britain. Maybe he should have been upfront about some of his hatred and grudges during the election. He is no different than his hateful Rev. Wright.

    If Mr Brown was from some African country or a Muslem country he probably would have received a royal welcome.

    Shame on you BO.
    The cap and trade legislation for energy independence will go through. This will make us independent of oil eventually.

    That Obama prefers a bust of Lincoln to one of Churchill is hardly an insult to England. Why on Earth would you think that Obama has a grudge against England or any part of Great Britain? GB has been our closest ally and remains so.

    Sorry, but, you have try harder to convince the rest of the world that Obama holds any of the crazy beliefs that Rev. Wright does.

    I should hope that this country treats every head of state with respect no matter what continent they come from or what their religion is. None of those factors really matter anyway.
