We’re coming up on that most American of milestones – the first 100 days of a new president’s administration. Looking back over the past few weeks as we evaluate the performance and achievements of The One’s initial foray into the real world – where he actually had to do something and make choices and decisions and that sort of thing, the jury is returning with the verdict.
Methinks the Obamobots may have a bit of a PR problem. And it’s not just me. I have been given permission to share this comment posted on an open thread on one of my favorite sites, HillBuzz.
H/T to “Skating on Glue” – one of the regular visitors to a truly super blog.
What do I think of the first 100 days of dear leader’s first five year plan?
As regards domestic policy:
A slapdash, jawdroppingly inept pastiche of schoolboy socialist wetdreams, mixed with the revenge fantasies of an abandoned and bitter toddler.
Over this foul brew sprinkle a fine blended infusion of enemies lists, continuance of renditions, expansion of wiretapping powers, and the demonization of people exercising freedom of speech contrary to his doltish, spoon fed utterances.
As regards foreign policy:
A towering display of cloddish, brutish behavior with the root premise and goal being to make this callow oaf “popular†with foreign people, no matter how foul and despotic they might be.
I have come to the sad realization that the concept of foreign policy being the careful orchestration of balancing our country’s interests with those of our allies and then the rest of the world has been trashed- all in favor of a cheapjack carney hustler’s worldwide medicine show and revival.
As regards economic policy:
Our president-in-thief displays a notably blockheaded ignorance in this arena. His particularly moronic brand of smiling Keynesianism is inescapably Keynesianism, no matter how much lipstick he puts on the pig – a strategy that has never worked for any country, at any time, anywhere on this planet.
It was most recently tried by Japan in the 90’s, on a scale proportionally larger than Odumbass is currently attempting- and the result was a decade of stagflation and no growth.
Like the English dude said a couple weeks ago- you cannot spend your way out of a recession, and you cannot borrow your way out of debt.
This grinning, jug-eared Alfred E. Newman lookalike is also responsible for a new phenomenon- the “Destroyer of Markets corollaryâ€.
This corollary describes the phenomenon whereby every time this stuttering halfwit addresses the American public about the economy, his sub-grammar school grasp of the subject causes the DJIA to drop a minimum of 100 points immediately after he finishes blowing all that st-st-st-st-stupid out his pie hole.
To sum up- only 100 days, and this clown college dropout has caused damage that will take generations to undo.
Other than that, though, he’s probably done ok.
Maybe he is real good at rearranging deck chairs on ships.
So far he has pissed off our former allies and given credibility to every socialist dictator in the New World. I guess that is change, but I have given up hope of a good outcome.
