It’s amateur hour in ObamaWorld

The $800 billion (which we don’t have and will end up being $2 trillion with increases and interest for our grandkids to pay) pork-ulous package had to be passed immediately or the sky would fall! said Obama, so our Congressional clowns passed it without reading it–then Obama took four days off before signing it.

State Secretary Clinton screwed up a Russian gift button label, mispronounced two minister’s names, and said America had democracy long before Europe (Athens, Greece, anybody?)

Racial reconciliation, an Obama appeal. In his first speech, his Attorney General Eric Holder said–after we elected a black President–we’re “a nation of (racial) cowards.”

Attacks on private citizens who disagree with them, such as Rush Limbaugh, because he said he hopes Obama’s policies fail. No mention of a 2006 poll that revealed 51% of Democrats hoped that Bush would fail.

A half-dozen tax cheats nominated for high-level positions. One–Timmy Geithner–even after being exposed as an 8-year tax cheat, crowned the head of the IRS.

No lobbyists permitted in his administration. Eleven appointed so far, including a Cabinet member and an assistant Defense Secretary.

“New Europe” allies Poland and Czech left twisting in the wind as Obama said he’d cancel their (and ours) missile defense system if Russia would help with Iran. Russia refused.

Iran proceeding with nukes; North Korea testing missiles; China harassing our Navy ships. Team Obama’s response: “huh?“

“No more earmarks!”, said Obama. About 9,000 earmarks in the $410 billion Omni-porkulous bill.

“The Messiah” has spoken sir.

He is also cutting defense spending just like Jimmy “Peanut Man Carter” and Bill “BJ” Clinton. Look out, we are going to get hit again, hopefully, not with a nuke.

What defense spending is he cutting? I saw a defense posting that they are getting $426 billion with an additional $146 billion to target specifically the war on terror. So where did Obama cut the funding?

CroMagnum Man talks out of his as*. Don’t listen to him. He is part of the problem.

Al Dorn:

Thank you Al, for enumerating change we can believe in. Not exactly what the saps and gulls thought they would get when they voted for the Anointed One but well deserved anyway.

A private citizen? Limbaugh? a private citizen is someone who does not present themselves to the public on a regular basis. Unless you have a life that I do not know, you are a private citizen for you do not go on the public radio on a consistent basis presenting your views. Limbaugh does so for profit, he is not different than any Hollywood actor as for being a private citizen.

Even if he was a private citizen, if he says something that the administration does not agree with then the administration has the right to respond.

Poland and Czech wanting the missile shield? They sure did not want it until given massive amounts of aide, so I doubt if they would miss it.

The sorry facts are that nothing can be done about this until 2010 (for congress) and 2012 for O_BLAME_A. America really needs to take a hard look at all 536 Crooks that we elected to represent us in DC. Oops, I forgot Joe Biden. 537 Crooks!

Anybody remember the catchy tune to the Blues Bros opening act?? A really fitting tune to preclude anytime BHO speaks!!

And yet, my friends, in stark contrast to your becoming ” nattering nebobs of negativity” Obama’s personal popularity continues to rise and the perception of his performance improves ( and always was in the majority) at least according to Zogby.

The turn around is coming …. I’m SURE the stock market will continue to go up and down but the last week or so has bee encouraging.

And Limbaugh remains ” a big fat liar” …..

Most Americans simply don’t buy your blather.
