Let me count them up, in no particular order. Some are big. Some are small.
We all make mistakes. Heres his:
1. A do-over on the oath of office.
2. Tim Geithner.
3. Bill Richardson.
4. Tom Daschle.
5. Eric Nation of Cowards Holder.
6. Leon Panetta.
7. Arne Cappuccino Duncan.
8. Hilda Solis (OK, her husband has the tax liens).
9. Nancy Killefer.
10. Charles Freeman Jr.
11. Ron Kirk.
12. Adolfo Carrion.
13. Banning offshore oil again.
14. Letting Nancy Pelosi write the $787 billion stimulus plan.
15. Relying on Tim Geithner to explain it.
16. It is a $13-a-week stimulus, or as his wife said of Bushs plan: Youre getting $600. What can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything. But maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesnt pay down every bill every month.
17. Going to a press conference without a TelePrompTer. I
Uhh
Umm
Could you repeat the question?

Thanks for the ping Justa...so good to "see" you!
Camile Paglia from Salon.com has this to say about Obama’s first weeks in office: (Perhaps the Dems will listen to one of their own?)
- Heads should be rolling at the White House for the embarrassing series of flubs that have overshadowed President Obama’s first seven weeks in office ...
- First it was that chaotic pig rut of a stimulus package, which let House Democrats throw a thousand crazy kitchen sinks into what should have been a focused blueprint for economic recovery.
- Then it was the stunt of unnerving Wall Street by sending out a shrill duo of slick geeks (Timothy Geithner and Peter Orszag) as the administration’s weirdly adolescent spokesmen on economics. Who could ever have confidence in that sorry pair?
- And then there was the fiasco of the ham-handed White House reception for British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, which was evidently lacking the most basic elements of ceremony and protocol. Don’t they read the “Iliad” anymore in the Ivy League? Check that out for the all-important ritual of gift giving, which has cemented alliances around the world for 5,000 years.
- The orchestrated attack on radio host Rush Limbaugh, which has made the White House look like an oafish bunch of drunken frat boys. ... Has the administration gone mad? This entire fracas was set off by the president himself, who lowered his office by targeting a private citizen by name.
Is this going to be a regular daily thread?
titled something like...
America Held Hostage - Day 53
The Medal of Honor Ball was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title. I guess a Brit wouldn't think of that one. Was happy to see more than one brought it up.
We have no president, only a usurper until proven otherwise!
Or, if I must, he may be addressed as:
pres__ent barry, that's president without the ID!
