Obama's Gift: Bluff, Blame and Boredom

I’m not exactly sure what “gift” President Obama was referring to, but unless he’s delusional, it
isn’t his governing skills.
Those who are still hypnotized eleven months after the election of Dear Leader may not have
noticed, but the man who manipulates the teleprompter and looks temperately placid, has a
decidedly diabolical persona toward his electorate. He hires people like Mark Lloyd for the FCC
who worships Hugo Chavez and his revolutionary control of the press. Then there’s the self-
acclaimed Communist and Black Liberationist Van Jones. Sadly for Valery Jarrett and Barack
Obama, Van decided to resign, against the President’s wishes--of course.
Barack doesn’t like to be criticized. The only ones who have dared opine opposite the mainstream
world of Obama flunkies soon feel the wrath of other Obama toadies. Just last weekend CNN fact-
checked a comedy skit on Barack aired on SNL. I’d like to fact check how many SNL Bush
sketches were examined for truth and fairness over his eight years and beyond.
Just ask Fox News’s gentle but competent anchor Chris Wallace. After Obama slighted his show
for every other venue including the Letterman orgy, and Oxygen Channel, Chris said the Obama
White House is, “…the biggest bunch of crybabies I’ve ever seen.”
President Obama, forever on stage and on our TVs (except Fox,) and radios, is beginning to bore
even his staunchest supporters. If he were a TV show he’d be cancelled…mid-season of his first
year.
His campaign and it is a continuous campaign, have replaced what he was elected to do, run the
country. Instead we have created a world wide carpetbagger with trillions of our dollars in his back
pocket and keys to all sorts of nifty carbon destroying vehicles, like AF1.
After shoveling our republic under the bus at the UN, as he’s done in tens of speeches throughout
the world, is there any doubt that Barack Hussein Obama has assumed a god-like presence?
In short, the veneer of superstardom has receded. What we have left is a young man with no
experience, a racial chip on his shoulder and a messiah complex. He’s imposing wild, hypnotic
idealisms that accomplish not a whit of the justice they falsely acclaim. Instead, they’re meant to
knock everyone down to one low level, except, of course, the ruling class, of which he now lords
over.
Since our educational system has added brainwashing to school curriculums, I thought I’d add my
“gift.” Hey, it’s for the kids:
Taken from The Battle Hymn of the Republic by Julia Ward Howe
Mine eyes have seen the gory of the coming of the Prince.
Born in Honolulu or an African Province
He organized Acorners to show their arrogance.
He’s duped us once again
Barrack Hussein Obama how he hates the USA
He called upon our enemies our country he doth fray
Olympics they did hear his pitch and turned him away
He’s duped us once again
I’ve seen him in the halls of congress lying up a storm
Constitution ripped to shreds our republic we do mourn.
A Marxist medal may as well his suit should soon adorn.
He’s duped us once again
I wish I had an ounce of gold each time he blamed a Bushie
He redistributes all our wealth while his wife buys Gucci.
He wants to censor Rush and me and knock us on their tushie
He’s duped us once again
A Czar for every function but a Russian he need not be
He used 60’s militants who are revolutionary
Our congress they don’t have a clue, the czars they need not see.
He’d duped us once again
He told us Afghanistan was the war he’d fight
Now he’s sucking up to Taliban just this past night.
If Bush did this we’d think he was high as a kite.
He’s duped us once again
Gory gory how’d he fool ya?
Gory gory how’d he fool ya?
Gory gory how’d he fool ya?
He’s duped us once again.
He’s duped us once again.
HMMMMMM HMMMMMMM HMMMMMMMMM!
Let ‘em sing THAT in the schools!
"I have a gift."

Yes, everything you say is true and I totally support it. So now what?
You gonna cry with Glenn Beck?
Need a tissue? What are those little beads of liquid on your baldness?
Could it be from the alcohol? Drugs? Paranoia?
It's all coming together here in RDN reader land. You may be suffering from Paranoid Schizophrenia
or drug and alcohol abuse. My friend says 'Gosh, nobody saw that coming did they'. Whatever it
is...
rehab my friend, rehab.
Your writing songs now.... you really need to seek some help Wavy Davy.
oscar
Have you read the BS about Obama winning the Peace Prize. I always thought that that group were
a little whacked out but this tops it. He has proposed little substantive and accomplished zilch.
That bunch is purely political.
shorttimer
Dave still putting out garbage and always using FOX as some sort of authority. I still consider
anyone that wishes our elected leaders to FAIL to be a traitor. Have you ever thought about moving
to Israel and using that forum to grandstand? Take your McDonalds with you. I hate to comment
like this but you really p**s me off and I for one will never go to your McDonalds again and I wish
everyone would do the same.
shorttimer
Oscar, you think that group were a little whacked out but this tops it??? As an American you
should be proud that he or any one in this country should receive this award. What is wrong with
you people anyway? Would you be happy to see the country completely fail, go into a depression
and have to establish soup kitchens again? Be happy that someone is finally doing something rather
than creating all the hate American around the world during the Bush years. I don't think you will
find Obama invading a country and wasting our wealth and the lives of our young soldiers like Bush
did. God bless American and Obama.
OldProf
Dave, I guess you equate yourself with Rush. At least that is what your sentence structure implies.
Congratulation! If only in your dreams.
Congratulation to President Obama for being offered the Nobel Peace Prize. Quite an honor for so
early in his career. Could be 'anyone but Bush', but hey, take the money for your favorite charity
and say thank you.
oscar
shorttimer I am under the impression that awards should be given for accomplishments or long time
efforts. Not for 'promises' as one report quotes.
I am not necessarily proud of anyone who receives unearned awards or accolades. That is my
position and I feel no need to further defend it.

Myth: The prize is awarded to recognize efforts for peace, human rights and democracy only after
they have proven successful.
More often, the prize is awarded to encourage those who receive it to see the effort through,
sometimes at critical moments.

Five people unanimously gave their Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama. It is what it is. Put
together your own $1M and give it to your choice of whomever for whatever.

RPLMD
Please read Krauthammer today. He says it all. I too am a physician and have seen the Boy who
would be President remain frozen as a Boy, his handlers pumping the freon. When will America
wake up and face reality? The refrig must be turned off, but the warmth recovered is liable to be too
late.
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Dear Dr. Lyon,
Already read Krauthammer, and commented on what he said during my radio show. As I told him
when I met him in DC, I'm honored to be on the same page as him. BTW., did you know he's also a
doctor?
RPLMD
Dave How is BTU? So good to hear from you, and a rarity for me
Perhaps this is the time to be forced to recognize the frailties of
freedom. Perhaps Obama should in the end be thanked for his creating
the Crisis, Rath recommends, before too much is lost. Don't understand
why at 93 I care so much for I won't be there. There must be
something, whatever it might be named, that determines there is really
no beginning or end-just an on going search for a morality possibly
best described by Plato with his Essences. Best Dr. Dick
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Dr. Dick,
BTU? Keep opining Doc! Us youngins (61) need your voice!
RPLMD
Dave...I just keep thinking ahead. Has always been an immense help.
What about Hillary? She is going to have to make her move or go down
with the ship. Surely she is at odds with many things-Honduras is the
most demanding, but as his handlers smother her, she must jump ship to
save anything substantial for her future. BTU was meant to be BTW,
although BTU may be he source of BTW's contributions as an MD. So good
to have a little talk.
oscar
Yep Sorta like the boy that owned the baseball when I was a youth.
badbob
A DEMOCRAT WON, A BLACK DEMOCRAT AT THAT, THIS IS KILLING THE
REPUBLICANS , THEY CANT STAND IT. YES MOST OF THEM WOULD LOVE TO SEE
OBAMA FAIL, NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT MIGHT HURT THE COUNTRY,
ANYTHING FOR ANOTHER CHANCE AT POWER, JUST LOOK BACK AT WHAT THE
REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE IN THE PAST........MORE JOBS GO OUT OF OUR
COUNTRY UNDER REPUBLICAN RULE, THE RICH ALWAYS GET THE BIGGEST TAX
BREAKS UNDER REPUBLICAN RULE, UNEMPLOYMENT INFLATION GROW UNDER
REPUBLICAN RULE, BUSH COULD NOT OF RAN A ONE CAN MILK ROUTE, HE LEFT
THE USA IN ITS POOREST CONDITION IN OVER 30 YEARS, SIMILIAR TO WHAT HIS
FATHER DID, I PREDICT THE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS WILL VOTE AGAINST
OBAMA ON EVERYTHING GOOD OR BAD FOR THE COUNTRY, THEY WILL FIGHT IT
JUST TO MAKE HIM FAIL, YOU CONDEM OBAMA FOR SENDING TROOPS TO
AFGANASTAN , YOU WILL CONDEM HIM IF HE DOESNT. THE WHITE HOUSE
STARTED TO GO DOWN HILL UNDER REAGAN WHEN HE SOLD US OUT TO WALL
STREET. SO MANY OF THESE ATTACKS ON OBAMA ARE RACIALY MOTIVATED,
MOST WILL DENY THIS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID FOR PEOPLE TO
KNOW THEY ARE RACISTS. THESE PEOPLE ARE COWARDS, IF YOU ARE OR BELIEVE
IN SOMETHING GOOD OR BAD BE MAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT IT.........I SEE THESE
PEOPLE SAYING THERE WILL BE A REVOLUTION........GET A LIFE....IVE HEARD THIS
FOR 40 YEARS, I AND MY FAMILY AND MANY OTHERS WILL REMEMBER THESE
THINGS COME THE NEXT ELECTION, IF REPUBLICANS DO THINGS TO MAKE THE
SITUATION WORSE WE WILL REMEMBER WITH OUR VOTES, IT HAPPENED THIS
TIME IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, THE JACKASSES DONT HAVE ANYONE TO RUN
ANYWAY....PALEN....HAHA THE QUITTER? THE OTHER BUSH....EVEN A BIGGER
JOKE THAN GOE JR OR GEO SR. FOX NEWS HAS ALWAYS BEEN BIASED. I FOR ONE
WATCH ALJEEZERA NEWS ITS MUCH MORE UNBIASED AND FAIR.
oscar
badbob Hard of hearing??
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Hi y'all. Too tired to answer last few days. See y'all LOVED THE ARTICLE!!!!
Thanks!
OldProf
Good one, Oscar! My thoughts exactly. It is kind of hard to read in all caps for some reason. I
disagree with badbob in the sense that George Sr. had the good sense to not enter Bagdad and get
trapped into rebuilding Iraq. Give the butt whipping and get out. Come back later with a better
whipping when necessary.
Dave Weinbaum replies:
BAD,
ELECTIONS ARE THE SWORDS THAT CUT BOTH WAYS! RIGHT NOW THE POLLS
SHOW AMERICANS ARE COMPLETELY FED UP WITH DEM LEADERSHIP,
ESPECIALLY THEIR RACE TO KILL DEMOCRACY DESIGNED IN A SERIES OF BILLS
MEANT TO BANKRUPT US.
FROM 'TRANSPARENCY' TO RUNNING AN 'ETHICAL' CONGRESS THIS
ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS IS A COMPLETE INTENTIONAL FRAUD ON THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
HOPE AND CHANGE HAVE BEEN DENIED.
THE NEXT ELECTION SHOULD RECTIFY IT.

Shorty,
And why don't you take your socialism and move to Venezuela. I'm SURE Hugo Chavez will greet
you with open arms.
That way you can remain a flunky for the government and won't have to worry about objections
from those who have the facts. Chavez has shut them all down.
Hoping that pisses you off even more.
Since you're revealing your true anti-Semitic self, why not have the guts to print your name?
STAND TALL, BE PROUD, SEIG HEIL!
After all aren't you a brave veteran?
shorttimer
Dave I don't print my name because people like you and your group would burn my house down if
they knew who I was. And yes I am a brave veteran which is a lot more than I can say about a
person like you that has never served his country in any capacity and only thinks of how he can
enrich himself. You remind me those types that wanted to spit on me and call me killer when I had
to sneak back into the states upon returning from Vietnam. I did not believe in that war but I did my
duty as a career military man. I don't think I will ever forget or forgive those that did that even
though I understand how they felt. And yes, you have pissed me off again my making light of my
military service. Are you ready to make light of those now serving . I don't want to live anywhere
but the good old USA where democracy rules - remember the Democrats WON - YOU LOST. That
is democracy in action. If you win next time then that is democracy in action again and I can tell you
one thing for sure I will not be praying for that president to fail. Seig Heil - so you really are a
Natzi? I also served in Germany, how about you? Where did you get the idea that I am
anti-Semitic? If you mean your moving to Israel is anti Semitic, I could have said any country but I
felt you would be more comfortable in the country that you constantly talk about. One last thought
- what if Obama does pull off all the programs he is fighting for and what if they are a hugh success
and the economy stabalizes, unemployment goes way down and what if the health program
including a public option works out to where everyone gets health insurance and it turns out to be
as good as the democrats think it will be - will you stll advocate that he be destroyed?
Dave Weinbaum replies:
You're a coward sitting behind a keyboard making threats to my business, nothing more. Get some
cahunas if you're gonna talk trash.
Not calling you a killer...calling you a coward.
Move to Israel? As if somehow, I'm a traitor because I'm a Jew?
You can kiss my Hebe American arse.
I doubt you ever served anything besides your own big cowardly mouth.
You been called out, you anti-Semitic coward.
Dave Weinbaum, THAT'S MY NAME, WHAT'S YOURS?
shorttimer
Your name is 'yellow belly'
shorttimer
Looks like a hit a nerve with you this time? Are you pissed? What is the matter with you it is
alright for you to say anything, advocate violence by your words, call the president every name you
can think of but you do not like it when you get called on it or the names come your way. You have
said some pretty nasty things to people on this blog and they have done the same to you. Did I
make a threat to your business? I said I would not go to your McDonalds every again and wished
others would do the same. You consider that a threat? As usual you take someone's words and put
your own meaning to it. As for not coming public with my name, I stand by what I said before,
your radical group would like nothing better than to become violent with anyone not seeing things
your way. This time I really do leave this blog for good and I know you for one will be happy with
that and probably many more. To those that I have offended please except my appology but I do
have reasons, many, for the way I feel about this group.
Dave Weinbaum replies:
I don't belong to any 'group'
It's just lil' ole me and the big tough vet, you.
You're leaving with your tail between your legs.
Don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.
snicker
Dave, shorttimer is a democrate,,,,,,,,, even you can't win this battle... BUT we are darn sure
winning the war............ The worst enemy a democrate can have,,.. is ( being a democrat ) Set back
and watch them hang them selves !!!!!!!!!!!!!
badbob
HANG THEMSELVES? LIKE GEORGE THE VILLIAGE IDIOT BUSH DID FOR HIS PARTY
OF JACKASSES?
-----
DAVE ITS THE RACISTS AND THE REPUBLICANS THAT ARE ADFRAID OF OBAMA,
GEORGE PUT THIUS NATION IN A FINANCIAL CRISIS NOT OBAMA, GEORGE SOULD
US OUT TO WALL STREET REMEMBER? HE TOOK US TO IRAQ A PLACE WE SHOULD
OF NEVER GONE, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION ? REMEMBER? SADAAMS

BRAVO! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! Great article about our Wonderous Leader!
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Thanks!
Dave Whinebaum
But at least the bankers, stockbrokers, speculators and insurance industry executives can still afford
to wipe their butts with wads of hundred-dollar bills, and THAT's why capitalism is GREAT!
OldProf
Good gracious! What a lovely collection of bad manners.
badbob
WE HAVE HAD A SOCIALIST NATION FOR WELL OVER TWO HUNDRED YEARS,
GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED FIRE PROTECTION , POLICE PROTECTION, STREET
ROAD REPAIRS, SCHOOLS, PUBLIC COUNTY HEALTH SERVICES, AND MORE. I
KNOW PEOPLE IN FRANCE WHO PAY LESS TAX HAVE TOTALLY FREE HEALTH
CARE, NEVER DENIED ANY KIND OF TREATMENT, IF THEY ARE TOO SICK TO GO
OUT THE DOCTOR WILL SEE YOU IN YOUR HOME, FREE. MEDS ARE A FIXED PRICE
FOR ANY PRESCRIPTION, 10 PILLS OR 120 SAME PRICE NO MATTER WHAT THE
MED IS, AND ITS CHEAPER THAN THE CO-PAY IN THE STATES. NO-ONE IS DENIED
HEALTHCARE. AND I KNOW ITS A NOVEL IDEA BUT THERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY
STAY IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER AN OPERATION! WHAT IT BOILS
DOWN TO IS A HEALTH CARE PLAN WILL GIVE THE PEOPLE (ALL THE PEOPLE) A
CHANCE TO GET TREATMENT SEE A DOCTOR WHEN THEY NEED TO, IT WILL BE
EASIER AND MORE PROBLEM FREE THAN THE HMO OR INSURANCE COMPANIES
YOURE ALREADY DEALING WITH. EVEN IRAQ HAD FREE HEATH CARE. THE
FRENCH LOVE IT, THEY ALSO GET MORE VACATION, SHORTER WORK WEEKS,
MAKE BETTER WAGES, AND PAY LESS TAXES THAN US. WHAT THE BUSH
ADMINISTRATION SPENT ON KILLING THE 1 MILLION PLUS IRAQIES WOULD
CERTAINLY HELP TO TREAT THE POOR DISABLED AND THE CHILDREN IN THE
MOST FREE DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY THERE IS.OH YEA A COLLAGE EDUCATION IS
FREE THERE TOO, WE LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE YOU CAN LOOSE EVERYTHING
YOU HAVE EVER WORKED FOR TO PAY A MEDICAL BILL............I HAVE A SON WHO
WORKS IN YOUR TOWN , HE GOES TO COLLAGE WHILE WORKING IN PUBLIC
SERVICE , HIS WIFE WORKS TOO BUT THEY ARE NOT ELIGABLE TO HAVE
INSURANCE FOR THIER 3 KIDS........THEY MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY TO QUALIFY,
24,000 PER YEAR BEFORE TAXES..........

OSCAR, IM NOT HARD OF HEARING IM HARD OF SEEING............
ACTUALLY OSCAR, I AM HARD OF HEARING TOO........I SLEPT UNDER A 5' GUN
FROM 72-74 BUT THATS OK, I WAS HAPPY TO BE THERE AND WOULD DO IT
AGAIN......................

If Obama could say SOME of the above, my mind could change. But what are the chances of
THAT?
craigeryjohn
Dave, I've read all the comments (in chronological order, even!), and no-where do I see anything
even remotely anti-Semitic from Shorttimer. You get quite angry when people say or infer things
about you and your business, evening threatening lawsuits, slander, and libel. Are you angry
because he said he isn't going back to your McDonald's, and encouraged others to do the same? I
know quite a few people who have said that, myself included (and I haven't been back in nearly a
year). Isn't that capitalism? If you don't agree with a service or an owner of that service, you have a
right to take your business elsewhere, and you have a right to encourage other people with your
same viewpoints to do the same. I believe that's even called a boycott, and is employed quite
heavily by groups run by James Dobson and Donald Wildman (though they enjoy tax exempt
status to promote their boycotts, so that's not exactly capitalism).
You accuse Shorttimer of being an anti-Semite. You've cursed in these posts, called him a flunky,
inferred he is lying about his military service to our country, and called him a coward. He's not the
first person you have verbally attacked, and I'm sure he won't be the last. You aren't keeping it
clean, you aren't being honest and accurate, and you are using personal attacks. By my count, you
have broken a few 'Pool Rules.' And before you say something like 'Well, he said it first' or 'He
started it.' Remember, you are an adult.
You set quite the double standard here, Dave. Why is it ok for you to personally attack someone
else on these posts when they do not agree with you? Why is it ok for you to call people cowards,
racists, flunkies, etc etc. Why is it ok for your to call our president 'Nappy' or say things like 'hip
hop' when referring to him (or call him a racist, a predator, or the emperor of a socialist monarchy)?
Why is it we are expected to accept YOUR apologies and explanations for what you meant, but
when you make an assumption about what someone has said about you, you either threaten
lawsuits or you start attacking personally?
If you can't take it, don't dish it.
Dave Weinbaum replies:
'Have you ever thought about moving to Israel and using that forum to grandstand? Take your
McDonalds with you. I hate to comment like this but you really p**s me off and I for one will never
go to your McDonalds again and I wish everyone would do the same.'
Keep it clean.
Stay on topic.
Be honest and accurate.
No personal attacks. Don't bash anyone based on their race, creed, heritage, or orientation.
Don't say anything here you wouldn't say in front of your mother at the dinner table.
Sorry, Craigers, but when attacked like above, about my religion, and business, completely
unrelated to the article I wrote, I Will respond. Even Shorty recognized he was wrong when he said,'
I hate to comment like this but you really p**s me off...' In other words, I can't find an argument so
I'll attack your religion, and business.
I have an obligation to respond to personal attacks that puts my family, business and I in jeopardy.
And yes, anyone that would attack that way, hiding behind mommie's skirts of ananimity is a
coward.
Maybe you should hone your reading skills?
The next step is a slander/libel lawsuit which would reveal anonamous identities....or a charge of a
'hate crime.'
Believe me, discovery is only fun if you have nothing to hide.
I'm too old to take BS from anyone...ESPECIALLY an ananimous poster.

Is it true that Fox News is the devil?
Dave Weinbaum replies:
If you listen to our president. Interesting fight with precedent. Can you say Richard Nixon?
oscar
I usually limit my comments here but this time you have sorta irked me also. I consider myself to
be pretty conservative if not even right wing. Any more it seems that just about everyone can cry
foul and ask for redress under the hate crime laws. Except for straight male WASPs. To me any
crime should be punished and the 'hate' bit discriminates against me. Other than that keep it up. You
sure can bring out the worst of the rabid left wingers.

Keep up the good work BADBOB I believe you. If fox is the devil them bush jr. must be the

act checking a snl skit! LOL LOL some people actually think snl is a news source! LOL
okie the thread killer
oh good grief..you really should get a life...
Then again, so should I apparently..I can't believe I even looked at this thread, lol lol lol lol
seeg
I only looked because I saw you posted! LOL!
fish
the nobel prize is the better joke though!
okie the thread killer
How many times in your life have you had any opinion at all about nobel winners? now suddenly it
is a great huge deal to you...can you say agenda?
What_The?
The sheep can't bleat until FauxNews tells them what to think. Then, and only then, do they act
like they care. Thousands of US soldiers died in Iraq because of Bush's kies, and the right wingers
made more noise about Obama's mustard choice than they ever did about Iraq.
CriTTer
folks , you can find better fiction and more choices at the waynseville library
fish
look way back about algore. there may be something there. at least he made a movie,fiction,but still
he did something.
Bush's "kies"?
nobama is having a hard time with afghanistan, the war he approves of. he needs to follow W's
example on iraq. W listened to the generals, supported a surge. did not waver, even when critisized.
the result, iraq is won. they are self governing and many troops are coming home without being
replaced.
Digital Narcosis
Iraq is won? LOL.
You must be thinking about this botched PR move.
I bet you throw trash out your window going down the road when you don't think you'll get caught.
What_The?
Seriously, spelling errors the best you got?
And then finishing it by saying Iraq is "won?"

George Bush accomplised the mission that his backers put him in power to do. That was to drive
the price of crude to record levels.
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Hey Carl, what's shakin'? Love the Palin/Joker face, but I think it looks better on Obama. Got any
more court stuff on me? Wanna go over yours?
shadylane
My court stuff would be kind of boring, records of births, deeds of property, and a dozen traffic
offences, of which 11 of them I earned.
Dave Whinebaum
It's always harder to get stuff done when you actually follow the rules. Do we want President
Obama following the rules? Well, really, yes.
Secondly, it's always harder to fix things than to ruin them. It takes a second to break a leg, a month
to heal. Despite how great it'd be in the short-term, President Obama cannot just pull out all troops
from the Middle East. He can't just throw a budget and plan at Congress and make them sign it. He
doesn't have a magic economic wand that creates jobs and starts the flow of money. 8 years of
wanton pillaging of the coffers of America cannot be undone so quickly.
I guess Dave and I had different textbooks in our US Government classes in public school, because
as it turns out, the President actually has limited power to get stuff done. According to the rules,
he's part of the Executive Branch, which means he carries out the law, but doesn't make it. He was
handed a crappy economy, 2 wars, a dismantled government, and a health-care system in shambles.
Fixing even one problem would be tough, but after 9 months, we're expected to shame him for not
putting all of his eggs in one basket?
At least he hasn't slashed environmental initiatives, started two wars, nominated conservatives to
the Supreme Court, ignored a disaster in New Orleans, pulled out of the Kyoto Treaty, fired nine
US attorneys for political reasons, outed a CIA spy for political reasons, tortured prisoners, signed
the Patriot Act, promoted creationism in the classroom, accused of treason anyone who disagreed
with him, and treated the worst terrorist attack in US history happening on his watch as though it
meant we should trust him with keeping us safe.
