He's off to a great start....

Why ain't I surprised?










He's off to a great start....



Subject: great first week!

"...Obama's approval rating plunges 15 points from the stratospheric 83% to 68% after the first week in office according to recent Gallup Polls..." (CNN)

- First day in office, Obama scowls and reprimands his VP (Biden) in front of cameras over a little joke about swearing in a second time... (Way to undress your running mate and now second in command on day one!)

- Already preparing a nation for broken promises. Quoted saying "I want to be realistic here -- not everything that we talked about during the campaign are we going to be able to do on the pace that we had hoped." Ummm, why weren't you realistic while you were making promises in order to get elected? It was only four months ago when you promised this....was it that different then?

- Obama vowed to immediately start clearing out troops from Iraq (I suppose that was a campaign promise, so no surprise there...)

- Obama, on Thursday, issued an order to shut down Guantanamo Bay without any plan in place to move al-Qaida prisoners or a legal plan for doing so.

- Within in 72 hours of office, he's failed to initiate tax cuts for 95% of working Americans as promised during his campaign only 3 months ago.

- After bashing Bush for our Trillion dollar deficit created over 8-full years, he's managed to Initiate a bill to double that amount in 1 week. (i.e. "stimulus plan" - LOL) - (includes budget for handing out condoms to our kids and also ...does it get any better? LOL)

- Obama creates ugly scene in the press room because he didn't like the question asked by a reporter. (After being asked about placing a ban on lobbyists in his administration... [with irritation in his voice])

He said; "..See this is what happens? I can't end up visiting with you guys and shaking hands if I'm going to get grilled every time I come down here."

(HELLO!!!!! That is what the press does at press conferences, they grill you Mr. Prez...lighten up, you're the "leader of the free world" - Get used to it! LOL

- President Barack Obama on Friday struck down the Bush administration's ban on giving federal money to perform abortions abroad...

- Obama vows to push the "Anti-hate Crimes" bill previously vetoed by Bush.

- Obama ordered the closure of any remaining secret CIA "black site" prisons abroad and barred CIA interrogators form using harsh techniques already banned for military questioners.

- Obama lifted a ban on federal funding for stem cell research... (Here comes cloning and more killing of human life for the sake of science....)

- And on the fifth day, from the Honorable Patrick Fitzgerald office, subpoenas were served to nearly all of Obama's senior staff - that didn't take long...

- Quote. "...Finally, Obama made his first really dumb political move when he picked a fight with Rush Limbaugh, telling GOP senators that they shouldn't listen to the talk show host and get on board with his stimulus package. (Quote: "...Obama broke the first rule of political gunslinging: never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel -- or in the case of Rush Limbaugh, someone with 23 million daily listeners and 3 hours every day with which to make you look like an idiot...")



And unless someone is NOT a tax cheat or NOT criminally-minded, with NO unethical, illegal or immoral acts in their past or in the dossier, they need not apply for a cabinet post or other high-level (or low-level) government position. (We wonder what Caroline Kennedy did not do...)

Only 207 more weeks to go! Can't wait to see what the following weeks may bring!
