(Hussein's) Top 10 Obama Blunders in Just One Month
humanevents.com ^ | 02/25/2009 | staff

Posted on 02/28/2009 2:35:59 PM PST by kellynla

1. Pelosi’s Stimulus Package: Letting Speaker Pelosi take the lead on writing the stimulus bill -- ensuring an ideological, pork-laden package.

2. Geithner’s Financial Bailout: Why raise expectations and then send out the Treasury secretary with a plan that has only scant details? No wonder the markets tanked.

3. Census Grab: A brazen, possibly illegal, power grab. Did Obama think people wouldn’t notice if he took the census away from Commerce and put it under political superpartisan Rahm Emanuel?

4. Commerce Debacle: First, the poor vetting of Bill Richardson, then Obama tried to pull the census away from his GOP nominee, Sen. Judd Gregg.

5. Cabinet Tax Cheats: Geithner, Daschle, Killefer, Solis. Can’t Obama find people who paid all their taxes?

6. Closing Gitmo: Sure, he fulfilled a campaign promise, but what will he do with all the monsters like 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed that other countries won’t touch?

7. Reversing Mexico City: Do American taxpayers really want to pay for overseas abortion promotion?

8. Talking Down the Economy: All of Obama’s talk of another Great Depression to help sell his huge stimulus package will make people stop spending, causing more economic woes.

9. Phony Bipartisanship: Having Republicans over for dinner is nice, but how about letting them participate in writing legislation.

10. Iran Dialogue: Obama said he wants a “face-to-face” dialogue with Iran. Ahmadinejad’s response: Put Bush on trial.

And the Socialist Running Dogs in the Media will shrug and say, “I don’t get it”.

This is actually very good for conservatives. Obama was completely set up for success. All he had to do was nominate a bunch of middle-of-the-road types for his cabinet and support lots of flashy but toothless legislation. Instead he’s gone all out with his Obamunism plans. I think that’s a very good step towards him being a one-term-only President. I don’t know if he actually intends to do it, but he’s hurting the country quite badly and it’s only been a month.

The last time a foreign nation, (Great Britain), attacked Washington D.C. to burn the White House, the rest of us tried to prevent it.

Yes, we will be saved by having him be a one-termer ... BUT ... will there be much of a country to save even after 4 years of him?!?! He's worse than any other President in our lifetime!

Reminds me of the vietnam-era line "We had to destroy this village in order to save it."

Don't forget Kenya! Obama's home country will also be sending troops to protect their favorite son.

What should we expect from a radical law professor who has never run anything, even a vacuum cleaner?
