Worst President Ever...
I know, I know ... it's too soon to say if Barack Obama will go down as the worst president in history, but after just the first month of stumbles, and by the looks of the incredible grassroots anti-porkulus activism around the nation, "The One" sure is swinging for the bleachers.
Trillion dollar deficits forever. Does anyone here believe that Obama will cut the deficit to a mere 580 Billion in 2013 ? What a freakin disaster.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm. Hope you're having a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteWell, not closing Gitmo, continuing warrantless wiretaps, and generally keeping the Bush administration policies on terrorists are all GOOD things.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, he's definitely the worst prez ever. Imagine, not being able to straighten out 8 years of Bush's blundering, in a month. Start the impeachment.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, Barney Frank (and his boy toy's no show job at fannie mae),Chris Dodd, Schumer, Ackerman, all these Democrats were Bush's problem. All the campaign donations that they accepted from the two federally created banking corporations, all the warnings from the Bush administration ignored. Now these idiots are running the ship. This is just honky dory.
ReplyDeleteIn the most recent election cycle how did the two candidates differ from Bush on matters pertaining to: Immigration, Free trade, Relations with Russia, Relations with our allies, War in Afghanistan, Bailing out the bankers, Warrantless wiretaps, Renditions, ect…. Considering seamless continuity between administrations, why does everyone get worked up into such a lather come election time.
