"Bye bye, America ... you chose ... poorly ........"

President Obama has had, by general consent, a torrid First Fortnight. To put it another way, it has taken precisely two weeks for the illusion that brought him to power to be exposed for the nonsense that it so obviously was. The transformational candidate who was going to sweep away pork-barrel politics, lobbyists and corruption has been up to his neck in sleaze, as eviscerated here by Charles Krauthammer. Despite the fact that he came to power promising to ‘ban all earmarks’, his ‘stimulus’ bill represents billions of dollars of special-interest tax breaks, giveaways and protections -- which have nothing to do with kick-starting the economy and everything to do with favouring pet Democrat causes.
He has been appointing one tax dodger, lobbyist and wheeler-dealer after another. After appointing one official ,Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who had unaccountably forgotten to pay his taxes, he then watched his designated Health Secretary Tom Daschle fall on his sword because he too had taken a tax holiday. Daschle was furthermore a prominent actor in the world of lobbying and influence-peddling. Leon Panetta, Obama’s nominee for Director of the CIA has also, according to the Wall Street Journal, consulted for prominent companies and sat on the board of a public affairs firm that lobbies Congress. The Weekly Standard reports that Secretary of Labour nominee Hilda Solis was not only involved with a private organization lobbying her fellow legislators on a bill that she helped sponsor, but she apparently kept her involvement secret and failed to reveal a clear conflict of interest.
In foreign policy, Obama has started by trashing his own country through grossly misrepresenting its history and grovelling to America’s enemies such as Iran, which has flicked him aside with undiluted contempt.

Obama looks bored stiff in that photo. No wonder he went all pissy at his Dem playdate. He’s cranky, he needs a nap.
You have committed Obamacide. Similar to Hari-Kari except more painful.
God help America.
‘Twould be impossible for the loonies to admit that Sarah actually WAS more experienced and has already demonstrated infinitely more executive talent than the Obamaloon and his cadre of D- econ and science dunces.
Biden and the Obamaloon. Heh! And...things can only get worse.
Maybe the rest of the world can provide ‘regime change.’ We’ve done it for some of them.
I like Melanie Phillips, and I understand her dismay and bewilderment at what America has done in this last election. I share it.
Thanks to Obama, we now KNOW that DEMOCRATS ARE TAX CHEATS!!!! And NOW we KNOW WHY they ALways want to RAISE TAXES because THEY DON’T PAY THEM!!!
Great piece ~ thanks for posting it! Lady tells it like it is and good for her!
It’s too bad there’s so many idiots in this country that bought into his hope and change BS. I’m afraid this will be worse than Jimmy Carter II.
Look into her book ‘Londonistan’. She has reason to worry at the way the USA is trending.
Well, for one thing we gave the Euros et. al. who they kept telling us the world wanted. I guess they've never heard the old saw, "be careful what you wish for..."
"And how did the 44th President react to the growing public dismay over the mess he was making? He threw his toys out of the pram -- or perhaps that should read, he got into the pram. For he fled the scene of the disaster and sought the company of seven year-olds instead. As the Telegraph reported:
"‘We were just tired of being in the White House,’ he told a group of excited of seven-year-olds before discussing Batman and reading them a book.
"Tired of being President – after two weeks!
"Tax cheats, pork-barrel politics, ancillary child abuse, incompetence, chaos, treachery and infantilism.
"America – what have you done?!"
Ha! The beer goggles have worn off!
There are some folks who are going to have to rethink that Obama tattoo decision. It's sort of like getting a Bernie Madoff tattoo right after plunking down the family fortune on one of his 'great investments'.
What we have done is put a person in the office of president who hates America. His entire past is replete with America hating dirtbags. If one has hate and contempt for something and is passionate about that, their intent is then to destroy it. In just three short weeks, it is clear that the agenda put forth by the current president is to destroy America as we have known it.
The sooner Americans wake up and decide not to participate the better chance we will have of salvaging what we can without losing it forever. My ultimate fear is America may be beyond it ability as a whole to have the courage to do what is right. I fear for my children and my children's children....

He looks like he’s dreaming of his days as a crackhead and stoner, hanging out in da hood with the Acorn thugs, sneaking off with the bimbo who was fired from his campaign. Those were the days, eh, chump?
That article was harsh,but true.
The cancer has spread and it’s terminal.
