End The Honeymoon! 100 Days- Over 100 Bad Ideas
We’re at about the end of the first 100 days of the Obama administration and it seems like it’s going to be an uphill battle for the Obama propaganda machine (government, government-sponsored groups, Soros-sponsored groups, and media) to paint it as successful. However, they’ll surely don their kneepads and do their best to show off highlights of the dog selection and Michelle Obama fist-bumping the Queen of England. I imagined he’d be a bad President, but never imagined it’d be this bad. My only hope is that someone steps up and says “honeymoon’s over!” and calls it what it is: utter incompetence. Plus, he’s the figurehead of the Democratic Party, so if a “D” screws up, he’s responsible for it (the media’s Bush Doctrine redux).
I’ve found that Michelle Malkin has done an exceptional job of documenting this disaster so far. Too bad the GOP hasn’t done as much. I also poached some from Don Surber’s 52 in the first 52 list (link).
