Shortly after Barack Obama began his presidency, I ran a piece 100 mistakes in hist first 100 days. It was fun. It was light and whimsical, with a little serious stuff thrown in. He was living the life of Riley. Then reality set in. Now he is living the life of Jimmy Carter. How did he wind up here?
1. He got the movie wrong. He is not Sheriff Bart in Blazing Saddles. He is William Raymond Billy Ray Valentine in Trading Places. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are the Duke Brothers. In that movie, Eddy Murphys character goes from bum to stock broker supplanting Louis Winthorpe III, the nephew of brothers Randolph and Mortimer Duke. In real life, Louis Winthorpe III is Hillary Clinton. In the movie, the Duke Brothers get their comeuppance but only after William Raymond Billy Ray Valentine realizes they set him up. Obama remains ignorant.
2. He got Obamacare wrong. Along those lines, President Obama saw how Hillarycare went and decided to do the opposite. Or likely more accurately, the president heard that Hillary lost on health care because it was written in the White House. He decided he would do it differently and have it written by Congress. This was a formula for failure because he lost control of the bill. This meant he was putting his name and reputation on the line for something he never wrote. And what was written was a mess.
3. He got the economy wrong. He overestimated its strength and went full-speed ahead with spending. Budgets for agencies were doubled as liberals wanted to have a field day regulating everything. But tax revenues tanked. That $400 billion deficit he campaigned against tripled. Guess what? The public noticed. So did S&P. He is now President Downgrade.

——9. He got his power of speech wrong. He is not Abraham Kennedy King. He is pedestrian and the speeches TOTUS writes are long and boring. He has come up with no meaningful quotes. His speeches dont sing. ——
To listen to the MSM you would think he is Abraham Kennedy King Gandi Jesus all rolled into one semi deity

The number #1 thing he got wrong:

Please tell me one thing he got right, excluding Bin Laden.
Bin Laden was handed to him. He couldn’t even show up in time at the press conference. Jerry Rivers scooped the Pres. because Obama was 45 minutes late.

This guy is full of sh**. Bozo didn’t get these things wrong, he did them on purpose so he could bring the country down and replace capitalism with communism.
