The first 100 days!!!

Before I dive into President Obama's first 100 days in office and his press conference earlier this evening, I would like to make a quick observation.  I do not believe a single word that comes out of Barack Obama's mouth.  In fact, his demeanor is arrogant and borderline insulting.  "Wash your hands", was his suggestion for battling the Swine (H1N1 to be politically correct) Flu.  You may be able to fool some of the drones that follow you Mr. President, but there is no way you can keep on deceiving the knowledgeable and the informed.  

We use the milestone of 100 days as a general measuring stick of how a president is doing policy wise, popularity wise, etc.  The overly balanced media (and I say that with a grin from ear to ear), suggests Obama is doing a better job in his first 100 days then both George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.  And how do you figure that?  What has Mr. Obama really accomplished in his first 100 days?  Change? Yes we can? Please.  He has managed to close Guantanamo Bay, expose and condemn top secret intelligence gathering methods that aid in national security, incur on behalf of the American people a $3.6 trillion national debt, has ok'ed public funding for stem cell research, what else? What has this president done that is so unbelievably mesmerizing?  When will we stop treating this president as a candidate and as a historical achievement, but instead as a leader of this nation, not as savior but as the most influential and powerful man in this country and arguably in this world.  What bothers me the most is how some of the younger generation has reacted to Obama's term thus far.  I can understand why they voted for him, they were looking for change, it was trendy, Obama was the way to go.  But what about now?  A 20 year old today, who is planning on retiring at age 70, is going to pay over $114,000 in interest incurred in their lifetime.  I am going to pay $114,000 to President Obama and the government that he claims he is shrinking and does not want to expand.  See the common drone may believe this.  But I don't.

President Obama, the way your administration and policies are laid out, you will have increased the size and scope of the U.S. Government by 25%.  But hey, there is some good news (not really) because the U.S. economy has decreased in productivity by 6.1%.  The United States economy has shrunk by 6.1% under Barack Obama's watch. That's the most lost productivity in over 50 years. Change.  Yes we can.  But, of course, it was George's fault, right?  That's what the propaganda media has implanted into the heads of every drone programed to spit out senseless facts and nonsense.  While we are on this note, I can't believe some of the media I have seen lately, both conservative but more so liberal.  It's disgusting.  So we have a debt created by a one president that is larger than all 43 previous presidents who preceded Mr. Obama.  He has increased our taxes.  He has expanded government, which is now invading the private sector and corporate realm.  And last, but most certainly not least, he is changing the gear on the United States steamboat, he's moved it from free capitalism to a socialist agenda.  Are the United State's best days behind her?  Sadly, I think they may be.  

I listened to the Presidential press conference today on the radio.  I turned it off after about 25 minutes.  I found myself in awe.  Not because of Mr. Obama's verbatim or his "enchanting" diction and suave, but at how this man is actually our President.  He was dodging more questions than Ben Stiller was in Dodgeball the movie.  He was consistently beating around the bush, and deviating from the main focus of the question by rambling on some tangent or making a little joke. Haha.  Well played sir.  And I want you all to know something, I don't write this or think this way to spite Obama or because I hold a grudge.  No.  I would write this exact same thing if George Bush or Ronald Regan were doing the same thing.  I think the way I do because I disagree with this mans mentality, with his policies, with his values, and I truly believe he is putting this country on the wrong track.  

Lastly, Obama appeared at a town meeting just after the tax-day tea parties in order to discuss the health care reform plan and the current economic situation.  He mentioned how there were certain media outlets that did not like him very much (fox news), and that there may be certain "folks" who are waving around tea bags (which induced some laughter among the crowd), but that he was open to having a discussion with anyone regarding his reform and his fiscal policy.  You know what, I have one wish, just one wish.  I wish President Obama would show up on the fox news channel and debate either Rush Limbaugh or healthcare Mark Levin.  Just for one hour.  Open forum debate.  Live.  Nationally televised. That would be epic.  There is no way Rham Emmanuel and the rest of the administration will let Obama speak anywhere outside of CNN or where their teleprompters can reach.  Also, Mr. Obama has one heck of a surprise heading his way, because this grass roots movement is the biggest we have seen in decades, and people are pissed off and really beginning to see the direction Obama is taking this country.

All hail the chief.
