Two Weeks of Obama's New America

Melanie Phillips, discussing President Barack Obama's first two weeks in office, asks, "America - what have you done?" After cataloging the president's multiple missteps, his ethereal mirage of propriety and rectitude, and not to mention the administraion's abandonment of clarion calls for "hope and change," here's the payoff line:

I have argued before however that, given Obama’s radical roots in the neo-Marxist, nihilist politics of Saul Alinsky, it is the undermining of America’s fundamental values that is likely to be this President’s most strategically important goal. I have also suggested that, since this agenda is promoted through stealth politics which gull the credulous middle-classes while destroying the ground upon which they are standing, his second-tier appointments should be closely scrutinised.
Phillips then goes on to discuss Obama's selection of David Ogden for deputy Attorney-General. Ogden has argued apparently that "it was an unconstitutional burden on 14-year old girls seeking an abortion for their parents to be notified - because there was no difference between adults and mid-teens in their ability to grasp all the implications of such a decision."

America, what have you done? is right...

    He seems to be volunteering for the label of Worst President Ever and he's well underway.

    On topic, this night, he's interrupted all broadcasts to, uh, let us know, uh, that he, uh, thinks among other silly stuff, they ought to, uh let us know that earmarks, uh, are non-existant and uh, and we can create jobs IMMEDIATELY.
    REALITY CHECK- earmarks are always in bills, sad but true, but both sides should have suspended any inclusion in this particular EMERGENCY bill to make it legitimate.
    TRUTH: The PARTY WHO WROTE THE BILL ADDED THE PORK AND REFUSED ANY INPUT BY THE OTHER PARTY.

    Wow, I cannot WAIT, to work at the new Dog park, and uh, can only trust and BELIEVE that my new job, will last through my lifetime!
    So So Tired of the stupidty.
    So so tired of believing in rhetoric.

    But, we/they will NOT deal with FACTS, now that WE/they HAVE WON!
