Obama has now been in office 100 days.  Let’s review his record, shall we?  So far, the Bringer of Hope, Change, Peace, Administrative Transparency, Bipartisanship, Fiscal Responsibility, International Admiration, Multilateral Accord, and generally Unprecedented Competency has:

1.      Insisted that his administration would have strict rules about lobbyists.

2.      And then changed his mind.

3.      Nominated former Senator Tom Daschle to be Secretary of Health and Human Services, and then accepted Daschle’s withdrawal after it was discovered that Daschle owed over $100,000 in back taxes.

4.      Nominated Tim Geithner to be Secretary of the Treasury. Geithner was confirmed despite revelations that he owed $25K in back taxes.

5.      Nominated Governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson for Secretary of Commerce, only to have Richardson withdraw because of controversy over campaign financing.

6.      Nominated U.S. Senator Judd Gregg for Secretary of Commerce, who later withdrew over fundamental disagreements with Obama over his economic policies and plans to politicize the U.S. Census by bringing it under White House control.

7.      Nominated pro-abortion Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius to be Secretary of Health and Human Services.  Sebelius received tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from notorious late-term abortionist Dr. George Tiller.

8.      Nominated Hilda Solis to be Secretary of Labor, who was confirmed despite revelations that her husband owed back taxes.

9.      Nominated Harold Koh to be legal adviser to the State Department.  Koh advocates “transnationalism,” a theory that calls for considering other countries’ laws when interpreting American legal disputes.

10.  Nominated Dawn Johnson, former legal counsel for the National Abortion Rights Action League, to head the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel.  Johnsen is perhaps best known for her argument before the Supreme Court that abortion should be legal because unwanted pregnancy was tantamount to involuntary servitude.

11.  Appointed an African-American Attorney General who has called America “a nation of cowards” on matters of race.

12.  Promised that his any bill signed by him would be reviewable for at least five days before signing it.

13.  And then signed a $787 billion “stimulus” bill without providing five days for the public to review the 1100+ page document.

14.  Oh, and this also applied to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009.

15.  And the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009.

16.  And the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009.

17.  And the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009.

18.  And the Federal Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2009.

19.  (While we’re on the subject...) ...promised that his “stimulus” bill would contain no pork barrel spending.

20.  Signed the “stimulus” bill with billions of dollars in pork barrel spending.

21.  Assured Caterpillar workers that his economic “stimulus” would save their jobs, only to be contradicted by Caterpillar’s CEO, who advised that more layoffs were coming.

22.  Took over an American car company and kicked out its CEO.

23.  Promised “green” cars, even though they are money-losers for the automakers, American demand for them is not substantial and, due to complex state and federal regulations, many Americans can’t get them.

24.  Announced a plan to take the United States $10 trillion dollars into debt in the next 10 years.

25.  Launched a failed policy to help homeowners who purchased houses they could not afford.

26.  Informed banks that took TARP money that they would be prohibited from repaying the money.

27.  Moved to nationalize banks by taking common (voting) stock in them.

28.  Supported legislation that would permit the federal government to set the salaries of executives in the private sector.

29.  And tax them at 90%, a textbook violation of Article One of the U.S. Constitution’s prohibition against Ex Post Facto laws and Bills of Attainder.

30.  Sent the Dow Jones plummeting virtually every time he opened his mouth to announce another policy, program, or initiative.

31.  Proposed nationalizing the American health care system, a program that has resulted in skyrocketing costs and rationing everywhere it has been tried.

32.  Insulted Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of England with the return of the bust of Winston Churchill, cheap gifts, and ineptitude during his visit to the United States.

33.  Insulted England generally when a low-level State Department employee said that England was “nothing special,” that they are “just the same as the other 190 countries in the world” and they they “shouldn’t expect special treatment.”

34.  Bowed obsequiously before the King of Saudi Arabia.

35.  Informed the German-speaking Austrians know that they speak “Austrian.”

36.  Apologized for American “arrogance” in Strasbourg, France – a country where nearly 10,000 American servicemen and women are buried at Normandy American Cemetery alone.

37.  Handed over control of the American financial system to an international consortium of foreign bankers.

38.  Went to Europe to ask for assistance for a war in Afghanistan, and got nothing.

39.  Received an economic chastisement from German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

40.  Failed to impress French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

41.  Prompted the President of the European Union to call his economic policies “the road to hell.”

42.  Proposed international control over nuclear fuel.

43.  Promised that he would support Armenia in its claims of historical genocide.

44.  And then didn’t.
