It occurs to me that if the top Obama Outrages of 2009 are not gathered together and documented in one place, they will as if they had not occurred at all. Outrages that should make the list, I think, should be major demonstrations of stupidity, deceit, treason, or ineptitude (or combinations thereof).
I admit to not even being able to start a list because these events, unlike say arguably misspelling potato, are so quickly erased from the public consciousness. Several things that I might nominate include giving an iPod as a gift to the Queen; inserting himself into the Cambridge police incident involving Professor Gates; and continued secrecy regarding his origins.

“I won.” Pretty much sums up his hubris right there.
“Those cops in Boston acted stupidly.”
You guys make a pretty good photo op”
Running for president as if he knew how to run the country better than everyone else, then when he found he couldn’t, blaming Bush for everything.
Date night in NYC. Corporate jet for me but not thee.
Returning the bust of Winston Churchill to the Brits.
I’d add his total lack of respect for and disregard of our long alliance with the United Kingdom. His continuous snubbing of them can’t be accidental, it’s obviously deliberate. And God alone knows why.
Yep, that was my top choice.
Van Jones would be #2.
Top 10?
How about the top 1000?
Here is the first outrageous thing Bammie did:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Ping for the Nachum list.
I nominate a comment made, not actually by Obama but ABOUT him, by a member of his transition team, prior to his inauguration:
“He’s ready to rule from day one”.
I think that one comment sums up the HIS attitude, the attitude of his supporters, and that it It also provides all the explanation anyone should ever need about ALL of the outrages he is and will be perpetrating against the citizens of the United States.
AF1 New York fly-over scare.
Emitting Carbon Dioxide.
Most recent:
Not making a statement about NWA Flight 257 while finding time to “yuk it up” on a VA call-in radio show.
Sending the CDs in the wrong format to Gordon Brown.
Giving the Queen of England a MP3 player with his campaign speeches on it.
In a similar vein to the ipod for her Majesty, I must nominate my worst Obama faux pas, the DVDs given to Gordon Brown when he visited. This showed me that no matter how bad I had thought Obama was, that he was in fact far worse, and had no one of any brain power advising him. What really ticked me off about it was that Brown is a Labour pol, basically the Brit equivalent of a democrat, and also a guy who really needed a boost. The fact that Obama would gratuitously insult him indicated to me that the man is so self absorbed as to be blind to all around him.
"I don't know how you say it in Austrian, but we call it wheeling-dealing.", - Barack Obama [thinking that people from Austria have a native tongue called Austrian], April 6, 2009 in Strasbourg, France
Serving $100 a lb beef at his parties during a recession.
