Slow news day?

I made it to #34 and gave up. #19 really made me laugh though. Thanks I needed some humor in my day.

good stuff... everyone should read this to show what an idiot everyone elected. He's well on his way to becoming the Black Bush

[hugh jass]

the ny post, journalism at it's finest.

[jrhaile]

In the third sentence of his first speech as president, Obama said, "44 Americans have now taken the presidential oath." The correct number is 43, as Grover Cleveland served twice.

hahahahahahahhaha incredible

13. Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega went on a 50-minute anti-American rant, calling Obama "president of an empire." Obama didn't leave the room. "I thought it was 50 minutes long. That's what I thought," he said.

lols at this one, it seems more that he was making fun of Ortega though.

whats funny is though... none of this matters to the hard core libs. obama could pick up an AK 47 and take out half the white house staff and the libs would justify it. its called blind faith. fucking morons

91. The $49 million inauguration -- triple what taxpayers spent at Bush's first inauguration.

92. Giving the Queen of England an iPod full of his own speeches.

93. Three prime-time briefings in his first 100 days, eating into television revenues and this Wednesday pre-empting "American Idol."

94. "The United States government has no interest in running GM. Your [GM] warranty will be safe. In fact, it will be safer than it's ever been, because starting today, the United States government will stand behind your warranty." -- Obama

95. GM is given $15.4 billion in loans from the government.

All golden..

Totally but a lot could say the same thing about when Bush was president, but the fact is, hard core conservatives were BASHING Bush left and right INCLUDING Hannity and O'Reilly.

Republican's were following blindly and now they're getting pwned for it...

... You have no idea how much it depresses me that someone was genuinely offended that the President interrupted their moronic television programs.


Most of this list is misleading or outright wrong to the point of being funny.

54. After saying he wouldn't have lobbyists in his administration, Obama made 17 exceptions in the first two weeks in office.


55. . . . including Tom Daschle, who worked as a top lobbyist yet was going to be appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services -- until his failure to pay income taxes derailed his nomination.


56. For an April 14 speech at Georgetown, the administration asked the university to cover up all signs and symbols -- including the letters "IHS" in gold, a symbol for Jesus.


57. Samantha Power, who resigned from the Obama campaign after calling Hillary Rodham Clinton a "monster," was hired to a position on the National Security Council.


58. "Chicago has yet to recoup the $1.74 million cost of President Obama's victory celebration in Grant Park -- despite a burgeoning $50.5 million budget shortfall that threatens more layoffs and union concessions." -- Chicago Sun-Times, 2/20


59. Firing Rick Wagoner as president of GM.


60. Threatening to fire Vikram Pandit as CEO of Citigroup.


61. Threatening to fire anyone the administration doesn't like from any company.



If a Republican did half of what Obama has done in twice the time period, he would be getting skewered by the media.

Obama is on TV more then "Vince" the "Shamwow" guy.

And just as obnoxious and full of shit as well.

If the list is inaccurate, then you should have no problem in pointing out the most extreme examples...

35. "You're sitting here. And you're -- you are laughing. You are laughing about some of these problems. Are people going to look at this and say, 'I mean, he's sitting there just making jokes about money--' How do you deal with -- I mean: Explain. Are you punch-drunk?" -- Steve Kroft, "60 Minutes," 3/22

36. "We have begun to modernize 75% of all federal building space, which has the potential to reduce long-term energy costs by billions of dollars on behalf of taxpayers. We are providing grants to states to help weatherize hundreds of thousands of homes, which will save the families that benefit about $350 each year. That's like a $350 tax cut." -- Obama, describing something that doesn't cut taxes.


37. "The Obama administration has directed defense officials to sign a pledge stating they will not share 2010 budget data with individuals outside the federal government." -- Defense News, 2/19


38. Backtracking on a campaign promise he made to black farmers, Obama significantly lowered the amount of money they could claim in a discrimination settlement against the Agricultural Department. "I can't figure out for the life of me why the president wouldn't want to implement a bill that he fought for as a US senator," said John Boyd, head of the National Black Farmers Association.


39. "I've been practicing bowling. I bowled a 129. It was like the Special Olympics or something." -- Obama on "The Tonight Show"


40. Obama lifts travel and remittance restrictions on Cuba.


41. Obama considers dropping the embargo on Cuba.


42. After warming signs from Raul Castro, Fidel Castro says Obama "misinterpreted" his brother's words, and that Cuba would not be willing to negotiate about human rights.


43. Obama is considering dropping a key demand to Iran, allowing it to keep nuclear facilities open during negotiations.


44. In a letter to Dmitri Medvedev, Obama offered to drop plans for a missile shield in Europe in exchange for Russia's help in resolving the nuclear weapons issue in Iran.


45. Medvedev said he would not "haggle" on Iran and the missile shield.


46. Obama asked Congress for an extra $83.4 billion to fund operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, a special funding measure of the kind he opposed while in the senate. As a candidate, Obama promised to cut the cost of military operations.


47. After trying to woo Europe as the "anti-Bush," Obama made an impassioned plea for more troops in Afghanistan. "Europe should not simply expect the United States to shoulder that burden alone," he said. "This is a joint problem it requires a joint effort." Only the UK offered substantial help, most others refused.


48. "While the online question portion of the White House town hall was open to any member of the public with an Internet connection, the five fully identified questioners called on randomly by the president in the East Room were anything but a diverse lot. They included: a member of the pro-Obama Service Employees International Union, a member of the Democratic National Committee who campaigned for Obama among Hispanics during the primary; a former Democratic candidate for Virginia state delegate who endorsed Obama last fall in an op-ed in the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star; and a Virginia businessman who was a donor to Obama's campaign in 2008." -- Washington Post, 3/27

49. Obama bows to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London.


50. "It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah." -- An Obama aide

I have much, much better things to do, but give me a moment...

I have much, much better things to do, but give me a moment...

The only one I would have issue with is this one:

99. Obama enrolled his daughters in a DC private school.

I surely wouldn't expect the Pres to send his kids to PS, but then he should also give other parents the same option:


98. "Education Secretary Arne Duncan has decided not to admit any new students to the D.C. voucher program, which allows low-income children to attend private schools ... For all the talk about putting children first, it's clear that the special interests that have long opposed vouchers are getting their way." -- Washington Post, 4/11
