Barack Obama marks his 100th day in office this week, having taken this nation so far to the left in such a short period of time that it has literally made conservative heads spin.
In a whirlwind fashion, his ambitious agenda has taken the nation by storm, putting forth a budget that will bankrupt this nation, and place our children and grandchildren in a position which will force them to pay an exorbitant tax rate of well into their working lives, and perhaps preventing them from ever being able to retire.
The so-called stimulus package which was rushed through Congress like crap through a goose and which neither they nor Obama read, actually does nothing to stimulate the economy and create the 4 million jobs Obama promised.
In the most important job that Obama is charged with, the protection of our nation from enemies both foreign and domestic, Obama receives a failing grade. He has eliminated the term “war on terror” from the lexicon, and replaced it with “overseas contingency operation”. And there are no such things anymore as terrorist attacks. They are now “man-made disasters”.
Obama has reached out to our enemies with an olive branch, pledging to talk with Iran about their nuclear ambitions. He has cozied up to Castro and Chavez. His apologies to the world for the arrogance of our nation, designed to make the Europeans like us more, has in fact made us appear weak. We don’t need other countries to like us. We need them to respect us. And Obama has destroyed any chances of them doing either.
Obama’s behavior throughout these first days in office has been reminiscent of a dictator. His narcissistic attitude and his holier-than-thou demeanor is enough to sicken any critical thinking human being. Yet he continues to enjoy a 62% approval rating.
Obviously there’s still plenty of Kool-Aid to go around.
