Remember when the messiah said “You can’t get corporate jets, you can’t go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer’s dime.”
Well the president is once again leading by example……what better way for the administration to symbolize cutting out excess in a time of hardship for millions of Americans than to hold a mega-fundraiser in Las Vegas, that urban personification of understatement, for a guy with millions in hand already and no one to spend it against? The prez after paying the bill for the FLIGHT OVER THE STATUTE is now ready to help ol Harry Reid in the fundraising department. Harry already has $3.3 million on hand for next year’s reelection campaign,but since he has no viable opponent from the state’s battered Republican Party, he and the prez think they need a few million more on the taxpayers dime.
Way to lead Mr President.

I really hope they give him his best buddy back, that was a painful display in someone who is unable to think on his feet last night. His answers were long winded and rambling and often did not answer the original question. He is a very dull speaker when he needs to try and answer questions he is not briefed before hand. It’s amazing how the Obama kool-aid drinkers are fawning over this debacle last night today, they really need to see what most of America is now seeing, a man who is struggling to get a grasp on a job he has no preparation for. This is not to say that he may not actually succeed in the job but his first couple of months have not brought any kind of hope or change for America.

People are always saying I am too critical of the new president, that I have not given him a chance or credit for what he is trying to accomplish.
Today he was out trying to convince people his “stimulus” package is good idea. He was taking questions and a woman wanted to know why he gave a pass to Cabinet nominees with tax problems.
Now like typical liberals the audience booed and hissed her because she dare challenge the President, they too like so many expect people to give him a free ride.
While those who had OWS (Obama Worhsip Syndrome) tried to stifle free speech the president said,
“This is a perfectly legitimate question,” Obama said.
“First of all, I’ve appointed hundreds of people,” Obama said. “There are a couple who had problems before they came into my administration… I know them personally and I think these were honest mistakes.”
While I disagree with his “honest mistakes” part I give him credit for actually taking a question that was not a typical softball that he likes.

So how has it been going for the new president. He has supported a couple of tax cheats for his cabinet, while many in America struggle making day to day obligations. Let’s be honest the ONLY reason Daschle is not getting the job is because Obama has discovered that he is not going to get a free ride. He had to back down on this one, people were not going to tolerate this type behavior from the man who promised change.
SO how has the last few weeks been for him…
Appointees under investigation or tax cheats, Tom Daschle and Nancy Killefer both lawbreakers who Obama approved for his cabinet. Bill Richardson under investigation had to drop out. One tax cheat did get approval but hey he is only in charge of the treasury so how much harm can this guy get into.
Then we had the porkbill that his people were to green to write so they trusted a far left loon from Wisconsin David Obey and that left coast nut Nancy Pelosi. They quickly tried to ram this package down the people throat, but as it became more and more public the people told them NO and Obama has now got to backtrack and admit that PORK is not what the people want. If these people want to pay off the people who they now owe a huge debt to for getting Obama elected, find another way to pay, but do not use the taxpayer as your personal bank account. One of the issues that the President had to back down from is going to piss off the union people who believe they own him because of the “hard” work in getting him elected. But he is not backing down because Americans are angry, nope, he is bowing to Europe and removed the BUY American clause. Screw you union workers, he has decided cheap labor over your jobs.
Then is image of Mr Nice Guy is melting away as polls showing that people now see him as arrogant. Once he no longer has the media to protect him to make him look good his faults come shining through.
Looking across the India is telling him to back off. They have said to him “barking up the wrong tree” if he seeks to broker a settlement between Pakistan and India over the disputed territory of Kashmir. Apparently his plan of world love is not going to be as receptive around the world as the people here feel for that song and dance in the election.
Then his decision to fund abortions in other countries has a 35% support rating. 44% agree with closing Gitmo and a new report came out today that 12 more that were released by the previous president because of pressure from the anti Gitmo crowd have returned to the battlefield.
But he has learned one thing since being in office, when the heat kicks in and the press wants answers, go somewhere so you can’t be bothered by them and the beat goes on…………
