The 10 Biggest Amateur Mistakes By the Obama Administration So Far

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


During the 2008 presidential campaign, people speculated whether someone like Barack Obama, who has never really run anything or had any major achievements other than winning political office, could handle a three AM crisis call. Well, as it turns out, Obama has been such a bumbling incompetent that he probably couldn't handle a trip through a Wendy's drive-in window without a teleprompter telling him what to order and whether he wants a Coke or a Mountain Dew. Even though Obama has been in office less than two months, he has already made more boneheaded errors than most Presidents do in an entire term.

10) After doing the "We've got to have this stimulus package passed right this second or the economy is going to explode" routine so convincingly that not one single soul in Congress actually had time to read the entire bill before it was signed, Barack Obama then promptly went on a three day vacation to celebrate before he signed it. If the bill was so important that no one could even have time to read it before it was passed, then why wasn't it important enough for Obama to skip dinner at Table Fifty-Two in Chicago to immediately make it a law?

9) In a juvenile stunt, reminiscent of something a third grader might come up with, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton handed Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov a button that was supposed to say "reset." However, incredibly, the word on the button translated to "overcharge," not "reset." Apparently, despite the enormous deficit the government is going to run up this year, Team Obama forgot to budget enough money to hire someone who speaks Russian for the State Department. If only America could just press a button and reset the entire Obama presidency so far and start over.

8) When Barack Obama was trying to sell America his stimulus bill that will put the country more than a trillion dollars in debt, he alerted America that, "Caterpillar's chief executive…told him the company will rehire some laid-off workers if the stimulus bill passes." But, when he was asked about Obama's statement, Caterpillar CEO Jim Owens said, "I think realistically no. The truth is we're going to have more layoffs before we start hiring again."

7) A large part of Barack Obama's appeal was the idea of racial reconciliation. The implicit deal was that by putting our first black President in office, America would prove once and for all that it wasn't racist, and we could put all this silly squabbling about race in the rear view mirror once and for all. However, not only has it failed to work out that way, Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder issued an an insulting challenge on the topic to the American people,

"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards."

Maybe someone should ask the poor guy who did an innocent cartoon for the New York Post that made fun of the stimulus bill and the rampaging monkey that was in the news why people might be afraid to get dragged into a debate about race.

6) Typically, Presidents don't pick fights with pundits and talk radio hosts for obvious reasons. It draws more attention to their criticisms, elevates their status, and comes across as thin skinned and a little creepy, much like Richard Nixon's "Enemies list."

But, the Obama Administration hasn't figured this out -- yet. They've launched attacks at Rick Santelli, Jim Cramer, and most prominently, Rush Limbaugh. Ratcheting up the creepiness factor a couple of notches in Limbaugh's case, the President of the United States, members of the mainstream media, and liberal interest groups are all coordinating an attack on a private individual for daring to criticize Barack Obama. That sounds more like something that would happen in the old Soviet Union than in the United States.

But happily, if you look at the results of the White House campaign, it has backfired in every instance. Rush Limbaugh is on pace to make more revenue by the end of March than he made all last year, there are Santelli inspired "Tea Parties" popping up all across the country, and every criticism of Obama that Jim Cramer utters is now linked by the Drudge Report.

5) The first task a new President engages in is bringing a staff on board. After choosing Joe Biden, who has behaved like he was kicked in the head by a horse as a child, things have really gone down hill from there. Bill Richardson quit as Commerce Secretary after coming under investigation. Republican Senator Judd Gregg accepted, then declined Obama's offer to be his Commerce Secretary over irreconcilable differences. Tom Daschle quit after having tax problems. So did Nancy Killefer. Ron Kirk also has tax problems, but he's trying to hang in there like Hilda Solis and another cabinet member who gets his own special entry -- and keep in mind, Obama has a considerable number of positions left to fill. Hey Barry, the word of the day is "vetting." You should look into it.

4) George Bush spent a lot of time strengthening our ties to Eastern European nations like Poland and the Czech Republic during his two terms in the White House. Yet, it took Barack Obama less than two months to undo much of Bush’s good work with those nations.

Obama wrote a "secret" letter to Dmitri Medvedev offering to leave Poland and the Czech Republic twisting in the wind on missile defense in return for Russia's help in stopping Iran from getting nukes. The problem was that the letter went public even as Russia turned down the deal. So, in other words, our friends in Eastern Europe were publicly alerted that we were willing to sell them down the river to the Russians, who they were already afraid of, and yet we got nothing out of the deal. That's a real "welcome to the Big Leagues" maneuver from the Russians for our naive, rookie President.

3) After making a stink by sending back a Winston Churchill bust, Barack Obama blew off a press conference with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown -- but, the real kicker was the gifts.

After Brown presented Obama with a pen holder crafted from the timbers of the 19th century British warship HMS President (whose sister ship, HMS Resolute, provided the wood for the Oval Office's desk), Obama offered up ... 25 DVDs of American movie classics.

The Brits offered Obama a thoughtful, priceless gift and he handed them back a bad Netflix queue that was probably picked up at Wal-mart earlier that day.

2) Choosing tax cheat Timothy Geithner to be his Treasury Secretary was such an incredible screw up that it deserves it own entry. It's mind boggling that any Administration would choose a tax cheat to run the department that's in charge of the IRS. Moreover, in Obama's case, he has already announced plans for the largest tax hike in American history, nearly a trillion dollars, and the man in charge of that effort doesn't pay his taxes? Prediction: a few years from now, if the New York Times isn't out of business by then, they'll write an article telling you that they're baffled, baffled I tell you, by the massive increase in the number of people cheating on their taxes.

1) Barack Obama may be a liberal thriller, but he's also a stock market killer. Since he came into office, his Bunyanesque new spending proposals, his plans for a trillion dollar tax hike, his regular badmouthing of the economy, and his incessant tinkering with banks and the housing market have caused the stock market to go into a freefall. Granted, stocks would have likely dropped anyway because of the economic crunch we're in, but the market wouldn't have already reached the lowest level since 1997 without lots of help from Obama. As Democratic financial wiz, Jim Cramer, has said of Obama’s performance, "it's amateur hour at our darkest moment" and it's "crushing nest eggs around the nation."

Yup, a Rookie, fer sure
And I'm not confident of his becoming competent thru on the job training. He just doesn't have a foundation on which to build.

Like Mitt Romney was fond of saying: "POTUS is not an intern position." One gets the impression that Michelle ran their household.

The treadmill: Maybe BO knows how to run the treadmill.


None of this is a surprise
however I thought he'd do a better job of hiding it all!

A nightmare
I keep thinking this presidency is just a bad dream that I'm going to wake up from.

What a nation of fools we have become, to elect a clown like this.

But with the backing of the Democrat goofs in congress, it may be the undoing of America.

The ''Gifts'' are an embarrassment!
This article doesn't mentioned Mrs. Brown's gifts to the Obama girls - beautiful Top Shop Dresses with matching necklaces. The Obamas gave the Brown boys plastic models of Marine One from the White House gift shop.

Methinks Prez Urkel and his lovely wife, Aunt Esther need the ever classy and lovely Laura Bush to teach them how to buy presents for visiting dignitaries so as not to embarrass this nation!!!

I Sure Hope You Have Lots Of Paper

Hawkins,
You are going to need as many pages of paper as it took to print the stinkulus bill in order to record four years of boneheaded mistakes, gaffes, overreaches, ignorance, stupidity, HRC's caw-caw laughter, Biden's faux good old-boy yawns, the ironies of Geithner and Rangel (two tax cheats in a pod) discussing tax cheats, the use of the word "inheritance", the word redistribution, fairness, a crisis is a terrible thing to waste, and international monumental failures.

Say what you will about GWB, at least there were some grown ups in the White House. Right now, it seems like the kindergarten class moved in and took over the Goobermint.


You will need paper because your computer will crash should you try to store the next four years of The Amateur Hour on it.

What Did You Expect?
Obama displays the characteristic of a faux intellectual. Most productive people meet these types in life's journey and soon learn not to trust them. They project self-importance. They have few if any accomplishments. They never actually work. They surround themselves with like beings. Any wonder that when finally required to produce Obama goes into campaign mode? Prediction: by month six Obama will "double down" by attacking the middle class by calling them racist (in so many terms).

"Methinks Prez Urkel and his lovely wife, Aunt Esther.."

Thanks Carol. Now I've got to clean the ice cream of my screen and keyboard!!!!!!


Off...not "of"
I've got to clean the ice cream OFF my screen and keyboard!!!!!!


see there?! I can't even see what I'm writing!!!

Don't Forget Selling Out Israel
Pres. Obama also chose to alienate our truest ally against Islamic terrorists by supporting Hamas after Israel had had enough of the punks on the other side of the fence lobbing bombs into their neighborhoods.


The bumblers have to go
This bunch of incompetents are a danger to the country. Chief Bumbler Obama has to go now, not in a year or two; and there's a way to get it done. Those who insist he is not eligible to be POTUS aren't kooks, there's truth in the research.

You can read up on the definition of "natural born citizen" (required by the Constitution) at http://federalistblog.us. It requires TWO CITIZEN parents and he doesn't qualify (nor does Bobby Jindal, whose parents weren't citizens.)

There's a great summary of the issue and the applicable laws at http://paralegalnm.wordpress.com/2009/02/27/barack-hussein -obama-a-natural-born-subject-of-great-britain/ (Obama's websites admit he was born a British subject through his British/Kenyan father.)

Dr. Taitz, the lawyer handling some of the dozens of lawsuits that insist on proof of his eligibility, posts on defendourfreedoms.us.

Read up on the issue even if you don't agree at this point and tell others to do the same. If you want to get rid of Obama, you might decide to join with those who believe Congress and the Supreme Court must consider the question.

Obamas give $25 gifts & eat $100 beef
Sure, they are cheap skates when it comes to giving gifts, but they sure like to live it up when it comes to things for themselves -- especially when the taxpayers have to pay for it (like trips on AF1, all the partying with their friends at the WH with $100/pound steaks, etc).

My Top 10 List

"George Bush spent a lot of time strengthening our ties to Eastern European nations like Poland and the Czech Republic during his two terms in the White House. Yet, it took Barack Obama less than two months to undo much of Bush’s good work with those nations."


"it's amateur hour at our darkest moment" _____________________________________________


Barack Hussien Obama's fumbling, bumbling, and dangerous presidency, continued:

1. His appointing Hillary Clinto to Sec. of State.

2. His being exposed as having promised $900,000,000 to, obstensibly, the Palestinian authority, but in effect, encouraging radical Hamas; sending a signal that he is turning a cold shoulder to Israel.

3. Making silly appeasement overtures to a Russia who held up his secret love letter to worldwide ridicule, while telling him, "nyet." Thus, humilitating Poland, Romania, and the Czech Republic and sending them the message that he is prepared to throw our newest NATO allies under the bus.

4. Totally disrespecting our No.1 ally in the world, Britain.

5. Reaching out to Iran and in return being told to in effect "get on your knees and apologize, then we may consider listening to you."

6. Kissing China's bootie by sending Hillary over there to tell them "Hey,whatever! I'm down with it!" Now China is making aggressive Navy gestures to U.S. military vessels with no comment from Obama or Hillary.

7. Offering to make a deal [surrendering] with the Taliban; trying to pass off cowardice as "diplomacy".

8. [and lest I forget] Ordering the closing of Guantanamo, resulting in charges being dropped on two of the top terrorist in the Middle East.

9. Making "solidarity" overtures to Cuba.

10. Telling the N Y Times that we are losing the war in Afghanistan.

Folks
Welcome to the Obama Comedy Hour, running continuously till January 2013, at which point, God willing, the show will be over.

OncealwaysaMarine
Good morning.

The trolls here are not representative of many many of those who voted for Obama. Even so, its amazing how many are ignoring the effects of his policies, and continuing to tout him as a miracle worker cleaning up Bush's mess. Our only hope is buyers remorse in many voters who voted saying to themselves 'He can't be worse than another Republican". So much for optimism.

On the other hand, its obvious that the whole tenor of spending in the country has changed. Hoity toity outfits like Starbucks are taking it on the chin. Oversized 4W drive vehicles which do nothing well except burn gas and bolster ego, are a drug on the market. Reality and common sense may yet have their day.

God bless America and the working men and women who make this country great.

azcita
I'm with Denise -- a top-10 list can't do justice to this administration's incompetence. If I were to write such a list, however, the citizenship fiasco would occupy the top spot.

This country used not to allow dual citizenship often, and it interpreted narrowly the requirements for natural-born citizens. A generation ago, someone of Obama's background probably would've been ineligible for the presidency.

Nowadays, the federal government takes a more liberal view. The presumption of citizenship is common, and little besides a person's renunciation is likely to negate it. I'm sad to conclude that most federal judges and bureaucrats would probably declare Obama a natural-born citizen even if he were delivered in Kenya or adopted in Indonesia.

The latter country evidently considered Obama a citizen. He couldn't have attended school there otherwise. And it seems that he held an Indonesian passport into adulthood. Our government doesn't care about Indonesia's opinion, though. Unless a grown-up Obama had renounced his American citizenship on foreign soil before the proper American official, he'd probably be ruled an American citizen.

We shall never know, for the courts have gone into hiding. Their net effect of their cowardice in _Berg_ and other cases is that no one has "standing" any longer to challenge a presidential candidate's eligibility.

Maybe leftists and the star-struck would've elected this fool even if it had all the facts. We shall never know that, either. Obama has spent vast sums to suppress those facts and harass the curious. He denied the electorate (and the Electors) an informed choice, and he should be hounded from office for that reason alone.

Our president is a tyro more interested in managing information than in managing the government, and we're in big trouble.

Turning all the dials at the same time .

The biggest mistake Obama is making is to take on too many big projects all at the same time.

If he had any executive experience, he would understand that ANY big project like the economic crisis, vast new spending initiatives, health care reform, refocusing international policy, will have unintended consequences, implementation problems, conflicts among subordinates, etc. Much of this will end up right back in Obama's lap.

As one knarly old pro told me years ago -- "You can't turn all the dials at the same time". That is what Obama has done.

Sigh. . .more typos
In my preceding post, I should've written

"THE net effect of their cowardice in _Berg_ and other cases. . . ."

"Maybe leftists and the star-struck would've elected this fool even if THEY had all the facts."

My sincere apologies.

But notice the lack of integrity.

Anyone notice the silence of Liberals who whined and complained about Bush spending even though the Liberals in Congress kept proposing more spending than what Bush wanted to spend?

Anyone notice the silence of Liberals who screamed "Bush Lied" while Obama keeps lying and lying over and over again?

Obama makes great grandiose statements while at the same time his actions conflict with his statements. The Liberal media doesn't challenge this. Doesn't report the conflicts in words and deeds.

He promised change and already he reverted back to Clinton politics of using the Liberal media to demonize those that disagree with him. Using the IRS to audit people that critisize his adminstration.

He refuses to take responsibility for anything and contines to blame Bush for everything as if he wasn't in the senate for the past 4 years. As if the Democratic party played no role in the collasps of Banks.

Yep, Liberals have really showed their lack of integrity by remaining silent.

The gift gaffe
was downright embarrassing. I say we all write to the nearest British embassy and apologize on behalf of the country. If President Obama is in any way normal, this one will be wakinghim up in the middle of the night for years. Gack!!!

Foreign language goofs.
If we didn't have so many linguists "stuck in Iraq", for certain they would have caught the mistake on the present. After all, all foreigners speak the same language, right Biden?

Pay grade
It appears that being President is also above Obama's pay grade.

The only flaw in the piece ...
... is the assumption that all of these actions were mistakes, rather than conscious choices made with full awareness that they were 180 degrees out of phase with all of the Mutt's campaign rhetoric. All together now: "That wasn't the platform I knew!"

The Obama Administration's Slogan
"I Screwed Up!"

Folks, it's gonna be a hilarious four years.

Stay tuned for more developments in The Obama Comedy Hour.

Crushing nest eggs?
Wait a minute? Isn't that the same thing as the rainy day fund Dr. Sowell is telling us today that we should be paying our mortgages from when we become unemployed?

I figure the the only way to fix the economy at this point is to ignore all government regulation. They can't put us all in jail, the jails are overcrowded already.

Chas Freeman
Forgot one thing: the elevation of Charles Freeman to Intel Director. This is a guy who makes Ward Churchill look like Winston, who said, post 9/11 (to paraphrase) that we should expect to be bombed by people whom we've bombed.

He also is solidly anti-Israel, in a way that proves Jesse Jackson's prediction right - Rahm or not - and verifies my contention that the Amateur in Chief is the worst disaster for Israel ever put into the Presidency.

Of course, few are defending Israel now - now that the Democrats have thrown them overboard. This choice represents the biggest blunder of all, considering how our allies - especially Israel - see how easily they're tossed to the wolves.

But Don't Forget The Leftist Agenda
While I enjoy and think it well worth the effort to identify what Obama has done that reflects incompetence, don't forget that Obama is implementing his leftist agenda, which is what he really cares about.

The Only Good Thing about Amateur Hour
is that it may finally put paid to the Sixties. People are seeing what happens when you actually enact their college fantasies into law, and it is not pretty.

Some people have to be bashed in the head with a 2 x 4 before they wake up to reality. Obama is your 2 x 4 and this is reality.

Brother, You Asked For It.

Phil Byler
True, Obama is implementing his agenda, but even that is proving and will continue to prove to be a mistake.

He's so eager to achieve his goals that he's rushing pell-mell through as many things as he can get accomplished in a short time.

Many of those who supported him and voted for him are having second thoughts, and are beginning to criticize him.

Many of the liberals who were starry eyed with his promises of hope and change are now getting a good glimpse of the filth that lies beneath Obama's polished veneer.

What Obama is going to accomplish, though not by design, is a weakening of the democrat party. People all across America are going to see firsthand how much Obama's left wing vision is going to hurt them, and they're going to identify the damage he's causing with the democrats. The blinders will then be off.

Obama, keep it up....you're digging a great pit for yourself and your fellow socialists.

I don't think Obama is making mistakes
I think he's intentionally getting about the business of destroying the country. One of the the things I am epmphatic about when counseling is encouraging the kids to always look at what someone does and pay limited attention to what they say. Looking at what this guy is doing, repeatedly, says it all. He has come to destroy.

Really
So Obama was the guy to repair our tarnished image around the world, really!

Smart?
Who started this stupid rumor that nobama was smart,msm?I see that work out well for them.

A lot of this is deliberate.
I especially see this disrespecting of the Brits as deliberate. If your intentions are to bring this country down to the level of just one more seat at the UN table, you must lose the respect of your peers and allies.

People like the commie in chief are embarrassed that the USA is the big dog, they are uncomfortable as leaders, it is beyond their ken.

Besides, it isn't about the country, it's all about him and his agenda.
Nobody could BE that stupid, crass and boorish or have less class...or, maybe I'm wrong.

Amazing
If G.W. Bush's first month in office had gone like this, the negative coverage would have been 24/7 and he probably never would have made it to 9/11/2001.

Going back a bit further, I recall a young Dan Quayle having his reputation and career trashed because he added an "e" at the end of "potato."

Economy aside, it looks like this country may be getting a wake-up call from China and/or North Korea. Just hope it doesn't happen while I'm over in Seoul this year.

The economy
The economy was in pretty bad shape by the time Bush left office (as we already know). And stocks were sinking, but in all honestly it wasn't cause for alarm, except for the Leftist news media and politicians who wanted to blame Bush for everything from the economy to 9-11 to the Holocaust to the extinction of the Dinosaurs (if only he hadn't backed out of Kyoto).

But with stocks in freefall PRIMARILY because of the government's policies ("Bank stocks fall on nationalization fears" is a common headline nowadays) as opposed to other econonmic conditions, It's apparent that Obama is far more interested in pushing his agenda than in helping the economy.

In fact a plumetting economy plays into Obama's hands, giving him the evidence he needs to keep saying "The Government must act now to help the economy."

FIRST MISTAKE?
Electing an empty suit acadaminut.

MORE FROM COMRADE MAOBAMA
up at the Anti Liberal Zone!

(Click on my name to check it out!)

Curtal Friar
As the REMF from Scranton would say: "LMAO!"

I can foresee the future.

The NorK's nuke Hawaii because they know Comrade Maobama is gutless. We find out that Comrade Maobama knew about it but did nothing to stop it. We get the Jimmy Carter malaise speech part two.

"I screwed up. Can I get a mulligan?"

More Media Hypocrisy
Can you imagine the hand-wringing, name-calling, recriminations, jeering, and braying by the media if GWB had treated a visiting dignitary like Obama treated Brown or if one of his appointees had behaved as HRC did in Europe? This would have been headline news for months with panel after panel of discussion about the classless, tasteless stupidity of the administration. The media would have been humiliated and angered by such conduct and would have sniffed indignantly every time the tale was rehashed. Precious little has been said about the Obamas and HRC pulling these stunts by the hypocrites in the media, however, so I guess it is up to TH posters and the like to make certain this story does not die. This was an 'amateur mistake' of horrific proportions.

What a dog and pony show!
Could this "President", and his administration, be any more amateurish than they are showing themselves to be? I tell you, Ted Mack had better amateurs on his old Amateur Hour show than we have in this administration. To all of you who voted for this idiot, thanks a lot. I hope you're enjoying this three-ring circus.

Rephrasing
Mr. Hawkins, I completely agree with you, but may I re-phrase one of your statements? I would have written the following: "This bonehead has made more bad moves in this short time, than most presidents make in an entire term." Notice, I didn't use "mistakes" a mistake is a slip up and not always intentional. I believe Obama and his crowd are intentionally destroying America through economics.

Don't forget the Clinton MO
Bill Clinton had so many scandals that no one could keep track of them all. His policy was to do something stupid every day, so people wouldn't remember the stupid thing he had done the day before.

Obama is already off to a good start with that strategy.

Mistake?
You think these are mistakes? I think they are very calculated, purposeful, deliberate actions meant to change this country once and for all. His continual power-grabs, forcing of abortions, promotions of the left wing agenda, diabolical lies and misdirection, egotistical, meniacle, and outrageous direction was conceived in a marxist think tank and is carrying them out step-by-step. We talk about it all, but do nothing about it, and he continues his relentless march toward the doom of this country. Mistakes? I don't think so. Anti-Americanunconstitutional, and evil? Without a doubt.

Bulldog74
Watch your a** there. The NorK's KNOW that Comrade Maobama is a weak sister.

Publius4254
Comrade Maobama-Have telepromter will travel!

Even the NY Obama Times is starting to call this weird!

To all Obama voters, do us all a favor and chug down a 12oz bottle of Drano. If not for us, for the sake of America!

Tell me please!
I know that there have to be some GOOD people in Illinois. But can any of you Illini tell me why you produce & send such politicians as Abraham Lincoln,Hilliary Clinton, and Barak Obama to the govrnment?

And the staff is so dumb


they bought the DVD's locally.
Guess what. Europe and Great Britian use a different format on their DVD's.

The DVD's Obama gave Brown are useless!

GunnyG
This twit probably can't say "Good Morning" without a teleprompter. Take his security blanket away from him and he becomes like Linus, he freaks out.

No wonder

No wonder Saturday Night Live isn't doing a Lampoonish character of obambi. This administration IS Saturday Night Live, 7 days a week.

And would somebody please replace the spring on the "I Screwed Up" button. It's already worn out.

Obama Is An Embarrassment...
Obama, his cabinet, his Democrats and his Media are a total embarrassment to my country...I wish they would just shut up and stop harrassing me through their lack of class, intelligence and lack of common sense.

Makes me want Bush back!!!


Gift Gaffe

obambi realized that he had inadvertently insulted Prime Minister Gordon, so to make amends he has sent him a snuggie and set of ginzu steak knifes.

Britain and the USA used to be two countries separated by one language. Now we're two countries separated by one language and a pin-head president.

Bush
Bush, with all of his y'allisms, was never this bad.

The only explanation
Hussein actually believes his own campaign horsedung. You know, the same horsedung that only makes sense in the fantasyland of fevered moonbats, rumpots, and crackpots.

P.S. Also notice that Hussein also runs "The Campaign That Never Ends" just like the clintons before him.

I can only envision
the reception PM Brown would have received from a McCain administration.

We would have been proud to welcome the leader of our staunchest ally. The sacrifices of their brave men and women in the armed forces would have been lauded as we defend freedom together.
You get the picture. Instead we are embarrassed beyond belief by this boor who would be better suited to shining the man's shoes.

Random Thoughts (to borrow from Sowell)
Giving him the title of Rookie is too generous.

Could We get a RESET button for the Nation? I suggest Pre-FDR and Nanny State, but I'd settle for Reagan's term, that way we wouldn't have to re-settle all the Civil Rights issues.

BO is a national Embarassment.

If his cabinet-members are not held to account for their taxes, I say they can accept my non-payment of taxes when 15 April comes around without penalty! Heck! I should be awarded political office!

The selection of First family dog underwent more scrutiny than Obama, or anyone in his cabinet.

BO is leading by example: spending OPM like it is going out of style (parties at the WH, trips with the First Fleet, Redecorating the WH with Pottery Barn, finding Michelle a decent wardrobe, pushing for obscene 'stimulus' bills & seeking to raise taxes, and buying precious gifts for Gordon Brown--that last one is showing how important it is to economize). Yep. Me First, Me all the time, Me gets the cream, YOU PAY. Yep: he's the perfect example of Do as I SAY, not as I DO.

When BO Talks; Markets Tank. Some people would call this a 'trend'

Rush Limbaugh is the Obama Presidency place holder for Clinton's Iranian Asprin Factory, only this time the folks getting screwed are We the People, not the 'woman in the blue dress.'

I can't help but think that the Bumbling Buffoon with the Teleprompter is laughing all the way to his goal of ruining America and setting himself up as our Dear Leader.

If BO is a 'puppet' and an 'empty suit' Who has his hand up his backside?

If the Birth Certificate is irrelevant; why is BO spending over $800,000 and countless lawyers having it 'sealed' along with his school records?

If he is so 'eloquent' why does he need a teleprompter for a news conference? Is he interested in filling in for Tom Brokaw?

The most honest thing to come from Obama: "I will stand with the Muslims"

Vote for BHO
For all of those that voted for BHO, I would not like to be the person to say "I told you so!". So, I won't say it.

I have never
seen an administration that appears to be so incompetent in all areas. They can't even pick decent gifts for goodness sake. Think about it we could have elected a personal shopper with absolutely no knowledge or interest in politics and that administration would have been more competent in at least one area and more than likely other areas just by chance. How can you be bad at everything?

WRITE SCOTUS!
INSIST that they actually HEAR one of the many suits about the "natural-born citizen" issue.
DEMAND that they actually Depose Witnesses (His African Grandma? since his White Hawaiin one is conveniently dead)) Examine Evidence (I believe we all know just exactly HOW MUCH there really IS--in addition to his forged BC) AND Question Defendants! (HOW MANY brand-new Presidents are already DEFENDANTS in suits (dozens of them) after two months in office? MANY under aliases that he claimed he didn't have)
WHEN SCOTUS is required to do this--he will be found NOT eligible to hold the office; and ALL his thieving cabinet AND all bills he's signed into law--will become null and void.
WE will have learned our lesson bigtime--and can go about repairing this nation the RIGHT way...Let's Roll!

Amateurish?
Are any really amateurish? Or are they planned (well, connived) actions designed to turn this country in to a socialistic and/or communistic country? I am not a conspiracy theorist type person. However, when I see things that clearly raise questions, I often find them - conspiracies! Think about this for a while! Then act!

Obama The Destroyer. good eponym

So what you're saying is ...
that we shouldn't elect a voter registrar to be President? Who'd have thought?

56 replies so far

and not one troll has come forth to defend Obombo the bumbler.

How refreshing! I'm gonna quit for the day right here.

Some of these "mistakes" are by design
Obama wants the market to go as low as possible and unemployment to go as high as possible becaus the more dependent on the government everyone is, the more they will vote only for Democrats. People who depend on handouts for daily survival don't vote for Republicans. And anyway, most people blame Bush. When the Dow goes down to 1000, Obama will enact the Miller plan to confiscate all retirement accounts in exchange for a new social security benefit and socialize the entire economy.

hawkins is a bozo
when you have not have a real job all your life it is easy to spend all your time nitpicking on anything the president does. this article is soo lazy. i hope TH does not pay you for this.

No Dems?
Can't spin this one,huh?

Gunny G at 7:52 am
Thanks for the good advice...I'll try and keep a low profile...no need to p*ss off some North Korean infiltrator.

Being a good New England Calvinist--albeit not a native of these parts--I know that the book of my life is written, and I'm not afraid of the idea that some psycho commie could be my ticket to eternity.

What I am afraid of is that Dear Leader Obama would probably apologize to the North Koreans on my posthumous behalf for presuming to meddle in their affairs by engaging in commerce with the South Koreans.

Jimmy Carter redux...

Excellent article!
One of the best. Yes, Zero is a real stock market/jobs killer in addition to being a rabid abortion supporter. We are really in for it with this changenhope thing.

Obumbler
We need a right-leaning SNL to mock the Obumbler into oblivion. No sense taking him out of office. JoeB and Nutty Nancy are the best job security the Obumbler could ask for.

Our big problem is the America voter, who thought it was a good idea to vote for this megalomaniac who believes his poo-poo don't stink.

On the other hand, it's Nancy Pelosi that is running the govt right now--and he seems no match for the wily old witch.

Neither is BO a match for all the wily old heads of state who will have his head on a platter.

People keep asking the question: Is he intentionally taking America apart brick by brick or he is a clueness ninny ideologue? I keep vascillating, but today I believe the latter.

Whatever....the net effect is the same. We are in deep doo-doo--and we all know whose it is.

rockisback
Very thought provoking.

Not even a rookie....
Obama has shown an amazing aptitude for doing the wrong thing. His budgetary and fiscal proposals show that he has NO grasp of Econ 101. In Foreign Policy, he is totally Foreign, "reaching out" to our enemies (Cuba, Iran, Syria, the taliban, Putin probably STILL laughing at Obama's proposal) while treating our friends like the dog feces that you stepped it. Returning a State present? DVD's (which probably are not coded properly for England and are totally unviewable in England)? An economic plan that does not have a chance of succeeding? All the while, he laughs and says "I won!". This man is dangerous, a narcissistic sociopath who is clearly over his head. QUIT NOW, OBAMA! On your way home to Indonesia, stop in Chicago, go to church with Rev Wright, have a policy conference with Ayers and write another "memoir", which is the only thing that you actually have ever succeeded at. Then go back to Indonesia, stay, enjoy the sales of your new book but....JUST QUIT and leave well enough alone. GO AWAY!!! Do us all a favor, disappear!!! America will be better for it!

SNL
Will NOT do any lampooning of BO anytime in the near future. Guaranteed that they would be SHUT DOWN just as soon as a hint of what they INTENDED to do got out!
NO negative publicity whatsoever of the Messiah--because that would mean he's not perfect for America!
Make SCOTUS do their job--hear any one (or more) of the lawsuits--the ONLY way to get him and his cronies out cleanly and legally...
This IS still America--passive resistance under the law should still prevail if we disagree with what's going on...

and yet
And yet oddly he is running rings around the conservatives so far. I wonder what that says about the opposition.

Hawkeye58
You spoke too soon,

you must have waked him

Oh, they'll be here
Don't you worry, the usual cast of misfits, like Hal Donohue, Taft, Left Angle, Dr. Douglas, and all the rest of the drooling libs will come on this thread to defend their President. You know as well as I do that they will come up with some ridiculous reason as to why Odumbo is acting like this. They're just waiting for MoveOn.org, Daily Kook, or Huffy Puffy to tell them what it is. My money is on "It's Bush's fault!"

Soviet Socialist America.
The Obama administration can best be described by these quotes by his idol Vladimir Lenin
“A lie told often enough becomes the truth.”

”A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation.”

”The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency.”

”The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.”

”There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience.”

We are well on our way to Soviet Socialist America.

I'm your POTUS now, and an enemy

I didn't mean the real SNL, but the Right's version of SNL. The real one is now toast. They did Rush (it was unfunny) and now there's nothing left for them to do since you are right; they will not touch BO with a ten foot pole.

Yea I would LOVE to get rid of the messiah. BUT, looking back down the line.....OH CR &P!!
Biden

There aint no good scenario here short of....
God forbid, taking another hit like 911 or maybe Israel taking out Iran's nuke plants. Unfortunately I think we are gonna have to take a hit in the chops to wake up.

What's wrong, Lon?
Weren't there any jobs at the day labor office?

We were warned!
Joe Biden warned us that Obama would make mistakes in the beginning. Joe Biden warned us that other countries would challenge Obama,

It is scary when Joe Biden is shown to be prescient.

It is Amateur Hour in The White House!

They'll be here indeed, and rest assured that when they arrive, not one of them will be able to defend Obama or his (excuse me, that's "His") actions on their own merits.

I'd agree that "it's Bush's fault" is a good bet.

If you will notice
The few trolls who have posted here have said not one word to defend their "President". What's wrong, libs, hasn't Daily Kook given you your daily talking points yet?

If there are any British subjects
reading this thread, I wish to apologize on behalf of my countrymen for the juvenile way this pretender to the Presidency treated your Prime Minister. Your country has been a steadfast ally of ours for well over a century and a half and we appreciate all of the sacrifices your countrymen have made in the name of freedom. Please be assured that the antics of this poser do not refelct the true feelings of the citizens of this country toward you.

monkey Girl2
stfu, already. Go get Hal and collect your shill paycheck!

Orszag
Neither the article nor a single comment has mentioned Orszag, the Budget Director. What a phony! Did you see him on CNN the other day? Obviously, in waaaay over his head.

Sadly, although there may be something to this issue of Obama's citizenship, the courts will surely be unwilling to address it.

I know the third-world well, especially Latin America. This last year, while watching the American political and financial scene, I've become convinced that we've declined into banana-republic status. Perhaps we were never really any better, but have been grossly fooled all along.

Where are the true leaders hiding? I certainly did not see one of them among the recent slate of Republican presidential candidates. And don't say "Jindal" to me!

There is no hope.

Precedent
It is far from the only time investors have refused to grant a new president a honeymoon. The Dow dropped 18 percent in 1974 after Gerald Ford was sworn in, during a severe bear market triggered by the Arab oil crisis.

Ronald Reagan presided over a Dow decline of more than 20 percent from April 1981 through the end of the 1982 bear market. And in 2001, George W. Bush's first year in office, the Dow plunged from a peak above 11,000 to a low below 8,300 after the Sept. 11 attacks.

25 AMERICAN MOVIES--VS--HISTORIC GIFT
This is just the kind of Amateur nonsense we expected from a guy who never ran a grocery store.

He couldn't run my business!

So, uh, how historic was the Wal-Mart Movie pack? Let's take a look:

------------------------------


Uh...that historic...what a BIG ZERO THIS GUY IS TURNING OUT TO BE...EVEN I AM SURPRISED!

ROWDY BOOTS

Obama's doing well
About that bust..

"A bust of Abraham Lincoln--Obama's historical hero--now sits in its place. A White House spokesperson says the Churchill bust was removed before Obama's inauguration as part of the usual changeover operations, adding that every president puts his own stamp on the Oval Office."



On purpose Obama
Study the guys signature. These are Arabic characters. We warned them, and they wouldn't listen.

Monkey Girl2

Why don't you head on over to the Daily Kooks or the Puff Hos? I am sure that they will be delighted to read your inane, senseless jibberish. In fact, they will scream their panties.

Rockisback1
You're describing Obama...never had a real job...it's easy to nitpick other people.

Precedent Not
After seeing this Chicago-Machine politician in action I would rather have the more experienced McCain or even Palin who had much more experience that this guy. Why trust someone who never wants to make a mistake: voted a majority of the time in the Senate "present"; and ALL of the votes in Illinois "present". And someone who cannot speak "off the cuff" and when he does he stumbles. Why speak off the cuff when you have a teleprompter?!? He is unable to make firm decisions, other than out of political expedience as in the stupid stem cell executive order. BTW he is no Ronald Reagan; no Abe Lincoln; no Messiah. More like a FDR who is solely responsible for one of the darkest decades, more like two decades, in US history. And indirectly responsible for the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution. After Obama is finished he will be worse than Jimmy Carter. Also, which president did Ron Reagan follow??
Hint: see above

#4

This one is probably the most ludicrous one of them all. Obama is already getting high points for his decision to use something they used in the good old days-diplomacy. Bush was gunning us for yet another world conflict in his eastern policy.

What is wrong with Americans?
I have never in my days watched a man be so unprofessional and childish in the most important position in the world. I can say that this is the first time I have been embarrassed by my country and it is going to only get worse in the next four years (that is assuming we have four years left).

Monky Girl2
Your name is apt.

Do you know what a History Book is?

Get one and read it before you comment again...it really is embarrassing for me to read you.

By the way, Obama is not the Messiah or some new God come to earth...FYI.

Ship of Fools - USS OBAMBA
How long before Obambi's crew starts to bail on him. I give it 1 Year.

Taft
". . .every president puts his own stamp on the Oval Office."

But not every President goes out of his way to disrespect our closest friend and ally. This punk did just that. Can you in any way defend the "gifts" he gave to Brown, in light of the marvelous gifts Brown gave to him? DVD's of American movies (On sale for $109.95 on Amazon!), plastic models of helicopters? And what did Brown give him? A set of pens made from the wood of a proud ship and clothes for his children from one of the top clothiers in London. Guess he had to save his money for all those $100 per pound steaks he has at his swinging parties, right?

Taking issue
I do not intend a personal insult to the person who wrote, "Folks, it's gonna be a hilarious four years," but I think that anyone who can consider that four years of what our Affirmative Action President and his gang of thugs intend to do to this country, would think that the maiden voyage of the Titanic was a laugh riot. (apologies to my High School English teacher who told me not to write run-on sentences.)

Amateur? Or intentional?
Obama's many gaffes are only gaffes if we start by presuming he wants to restore the US economy, improve the defense of our interests around the world, and maintain our relations with our allies. But what if the "change" Obama has in mind is far more radical than "redistribution of wealth?"

In "Rules for Radicals" Saul Alinsky details how the "organizer" must allow the social structure of the "community" to fall into utter chaos before suggesting that a new kind of social structure will work better. The new way, of course, is authoritarian communism. The organizer won't call it that when he suggests that it be implemented, but that is what it is. That is the whole point of the exercise.

If you look at all of Hawkins points above, only Mrs. Clinton's gaffe with the Russians falls outside the Alinsky playbook (even Alinsky would find no useful purpose in making an @$$ of one's self in front of the Russians).

Obama may in fact be an amateur. But I believe his "gaffes" are not gaffes at all in his mind. It has always been Obama's intention to tear our social structure down to the ground so he can rebuild it his way. And his way means total equality of outcomes as opposed to equality of opportunity. Most who favor this kind of government like to call it socialism, but it cannot be imposed without total authoritarianism: government control of everything. That is what we called soviet communism during the Cold War

If Obama has his way the superpower that won the Cold War without firing a shot will end up using the platform that victory brought us to surrender to the very ideology we defeated.

Publius

There are times when Obama's inexperience is going to be vexing, but seriously, I don't think the Brits are going to start impressing our sailors again over it.

To Lynn in SC
The US Supreme Court does not try cases in the sense that they hear evidence and hear witness testimony. The US Supreme Court is the highest appellate court in the land. That means the US Supreme Court will examine the results of a trial in US District Ct that has come on appeal up to them for two reasons: 1) it is an unusual and novel legal question, and 2) if they decide they want to . They use the Rule of Four to decide which cases to hear: when the party files a petition for cert., if four justices or more vote to hear it, then the court hears it. If not, they deny cert. Although thousands of cases are appealed to the US Supreme Court each year, the court only picks about 80 to consider. A trial on Obama's citizenship would have to occur in federal district court, and I don't think any of them will consider it now that SCOTUS has sent a signal. However, I did read somewhere about two lawyers who are working on a "quo warranto" action. This is under a federal statute that allows one to question whether an elected official is qualified for office.

Why Obama Hasn't Insulted More

The only reason Barack Obama hasn't insulted more World leaders with his Arrogant, Narcissistic attitude and 'Mussolini' chin, is he hasn't had a chance yet.

Give him a chance, the Whole World will agree that he is an ignorant buffoon.

BTW, notice the CHANGES in the African Queen. The toothy smile is GONE, the hair is GRAYER and the temper is SHORT! His negatives are in Steep Ascent, his positives are in a Steep Slide and even the Trolls don’t defend his policies. All they say, is “HE INHERITED IT!” WRONG LOSERS! The Ebony Imbecile OWNS it all now, he is going down and taking The DNC with him :). By 2012, The Democrats will be nominating has for the 1st President to man the new space station on Pluto! LMAO! HIC!

"How long before Obambi's crew starts to bail on him. I give it 1 Year."

I wish I could agree with you but we have the experience of Slick Willie's 8 years. In spite of all the scandals and evidence of wrongdoing the Dumbocrooks, instead of rising up and insisting he do the right thing and resign, rallied around him to protect "their" President. I fully expect that to happen this time, too. Power is too intoxicating to give it up that easily.

Obama Responsible for Tasteless Gifts

No Matter who selected the 'Tasteless Gift' that was picked for PM Brown - the President Barack Obama - is responsible - that is part of being a CEO.

When you are POTUS, the 'Buck Stops With the POTUS.

We the people,
well 52% based on which poll you use, have elected an inexperienced man who can give great speeches once rehearsed. He is in way over his head.

He will not remained focused on the primary issue of the economy and is bumbling away out allies and our future.

Example of a community organizer in action. O says Geithner will have a stimulus recovery plan in two days. We have not seen it yet. How do you think Geithner felt when he heard that directive.

No, Taft
The British Navy won't impress our sailors, but then, our sailors won't "impress" them either. The Brits will not sail to our aid.

Taft
"I don't think the Brits are going to start impressing our sailors again over it."

And who said they would? They can express their displeasure in many, more harmful, ways such as opposing us at the U.N., refusing to work with us in hot spots around the world, and refusing to share intelligence data with us, just to name a few. Do you actually believe they will just lay back and take these insults without reacting? Are you that delusional?

Also, are you just NOW admitting that Odumbo is inexperienced? Where was this revelation during the campaign?

Presidential training wheels.
Those that voted for "CHANGE" will not fully appreciate the error of their ways until their lights go out due to black/brown outs because the sun went under a cloud or the wind stopped blowing, or they are unable to afford to pay their utility bills due to "cap and trade" taxes. But the largest impact will be when gas hits $10.00-$20.00 per gallon due to shortages due to Obama's energy policies (or lack of). We will soon have double-didget inflation and interest rates as well as hugh income tax increases on All citizens.An administration that consists of bold face liers and tax cheats are up to no good for our country. We as a nation may not recover from this train wreck of a one party, (Dumbocrate) system of politics. The voters wanted CHANGE AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE GETTING. Enjoy the downhill ride.

Barack 'Prince of Punks' Obama

What is a Punk?
===============
1) a young inexperienced person
2) a beginner
3) a novice
4) usually a petty gangster, hoodlum, or ruffian.

Barack Obama believes his lack of experience, his lack of Business Acumen, his 'Chicago Hoodlum' approach to leadership, will be the 'Success' of his administration.


Good posts
Good posts by oldsocialworker, Bulldog74, Happy Jake, Katz.

And Rowdy, the reason Obama couldn't run your business is because he would have to spend HIS OWN MONEY to operate it and HE WOULD HAVE TO EARN A PROFIT to keep it open.

Obama can only function in situations where other people's money is used for operations and other people's money is also used to pay the loss when his grand schemes fail so grandly.

Your loss is Obama's gain.

10 biggest Mistakes

Mrs Paddy:(#77)Another PRICELESS parody, but tragically (for our poor nation) true!
Daft:(#97)Maybe you didn't get the memo: BUSH LEFT OFFICE TWO MONTHS AGO! You lib-tards OWN this embarassment!!!

It's worse than you think
A well-connected Washington figure, who is close to members of Mr. Obama's inner circle, expressed concern that Mr. Obama had failed so far to "even fake an interest in foreign policy".
A British official conceded that the furor surrounding the apparent snub to Mr. Brown had come as a shock to the White House. "I think it's right to say that their focus is elsewhere, on domestic affairs. A number of our US interlocutors said they couldn't quite understand the British concerns and didn't get what that was all about."
The real views of many in Obama administration were laid bare by a State Department official involved in planning the Brown visit, who reacted with fury when questioned by The Sunday Telegraph about why the event was so low-key.
The official dismissed any notion of the special relationship, saying: "There's nothing special about Britain. You're just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn't expect special treatment." The apparent lack of attention to detail by the Obama administration is indicative of what many believe to be Mr Obama's determination to do too much too quickly.

Tea party on Saturday.

Obama Change is Chicago Style

The Barack Obama 'Change' in Washington, came in a 'Carpet Bag' from Chicago Politics.

• Look at the cretins and Tax Cheats he’s installing in key positions.

• Look at how he’s attempting to avoid the Advice and Consent aspects of the branches of government with these various ‘czars’.

• Look at the incredible lack of ‘grasp’ of international affairs.

Barack Obama believes that 'Chicago Mob Politics', will be the 'Success' of his administration.

March 21
Sorry...the tea party is Saturday March 21.

Don't be fooled
So many threads about the big O's incompetence. Doesn't it make you wonder? This man is not stupid look at how he came from nowhere and won. Wake up people O is Americas Hugo Chavez. the gift to Britain, it was a spit in the face. The stimulus package helps ruin the economy.
And so on. When his term ends in 4 years he will run with Acorns help and the census of 2010 in his pocket, bet its a landslide.

Liberal Logic = Dysfunctional Brain

Liberals believe America is greedy because of Capitalism - yet half of the population is subsidized and don't pay taxes.

Liberals and their NON-TAXPAYER subsidized minions - think they are victims.

These subsidized, NON-TAXPAYERS, think they are victims, yet they control the POTUS and Congress.

These subsidized, NON-TAXPAYERS, keep getting poorer, even though they keep electing the same Liberal politicians.

These subsidized, NON-TAXPAYERS, have possessions and a standard of living that the poor in other countries could only dream about.

These subsidized, NON-TAXPAYERS, want America to be like those countries where the poor have MUCH LESS, then they have.

Barack Obama has conned these 'Poor' people into believing 'Socialism' will be better for them.

Barack Obama believes the 'Success' of his administration, will be equal poverty for all.

Liberals chant 'Yes We Can'.

I'm not sure
why anyone would be surprized with what Obama has done.
He is inexperienced.
He is narcisstic.
Came from a crooked political machine.
Dishonest liar.
Addicted to the camera.
Kenyan
muslim?
unpatriotic questionable friends


So why is anybody surprized?

I've already made plans to be there. Apparently the interest in this party is growing, judging by the number of posts on the party's website, http://www.orlandoteaparty.com. I'm coming from Winter Haven, where are you coming from?

Publius: daft calls it "vexing?"

daft is among many (including Bozo) who have absolutely no clue what diplomacy is, and just how IMPORTANT it is.

Nile Gardiner, Dir. of The Heritage Foundation's Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom talks about just how important this is...

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=74f_1236655914

And has anyone noted that when Bozo RETURNED the bust of Churchill, he FexEx'd it?

Just how tacky and embarrassing is that???

I still shudder just thinking of how embarrassing it was when then Sen. Obama INVITED HIMSELF to speak at Brandenburg Gate.

Not only is Bozo out to destroy our country, he's going to embarrass us to death while doing it.



Agreed, Anne
Apparently Odumbo is ignoring all of the advice being given to him by the professionals in the State Department (assuming any of them oould stomach working for this dunce and for Shrillary and didn't bolt at the first opportunity) and is following the advice of the old Frank Sinatra song and doing it "his way". Unfortunately, "his way" makes him, and by extension us, look like a fool.

Instead he has extended money and his time (Al Aribya 'scoop' and $900 Million to Hamas...oh sorry, Palestinians) and given props to our ENEMIES...you know, those guys that want to kill us and wipe Israel off the map... by closing GITMO, Letting the Perpetrators of the attack on USS Cole off the hook etc etc etc)
