Barry's 100 Days Bash

Today is President Obama's 100th day in office.  Unfortunately, that still leaves over 1300 days left in this disastrous administration.  I will post again the New York Post's list of 100 mistakes made in the first 100 days.  National Review Online has a list of the violated campaign promises of the Obama Administration.  Also, Dick Morris says that Obama has already sown the seeds of his demise.

 

Barry announced today that he will campaign for Arlen Specter in his re-election bid.  I hope this is his Waterloo, just like it was Rick Santorum's and, to a lesser extent, President Bush's.  Also, Arlen Specter condemned "Jumping" Jim Jeffords for changing parties in 2001.

 

"Crazy" Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's new campaign slogan is "Yes, We Can."

 

Ford and Toyota are gaining on Government Motors and could pass them in terms of market share.  I wonder if that might have something to do with the fact that we're paying the bills for GM?

 

Citigroup is groveling to the Treasury Department to ask if they will be allowed to pay bonuses to employees.  Already 26% thinks that we have at least a partially socialist economy.

 

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) says that the Republican Party should stop being the party of big business.

 

The House passed a $3.44 trillion budget today.  Marshall voted for, Bishop against.

 

More on this swine flu (from here on, I will call it the Mexican flu) nonsense:  the media is wetting itself over the first death of the Mexican flu in the United States, even though the kid who died was a Mexican who came to the United States for treatment.  The federal government wants to stop using the word "swine" to describe the flu because it is not transmitted by pork products (which is actually the smartest thing done yet by the federal government about this).  The World Health Organization says that there are many fewer deaths than what has been publicized (but that doesn't help the panic).  France has asked the EU to stop flights to Mexico, and Cuba and Argentina have stopped all travel to Mexico.  The truth is that the real flu has killed 13,000 Americans this year alone, but that's not part of the media coverage (it's just not sexy enough), which has scared 65% of voters into being seriously worried about the Mexican flu.  Here is a Q-and-A about the Mexican flu that everybody should read.

 

Barry wants to change sentencing rules for crack cocaine as opposed to powder cocaine.

 

The final direct cost to taxpayers for that Air Force One photo op in New York City was $328,835.  That doesn't include lost productivity.

 

The Treasury Department says that at least six major banks need more capital.  This is another move towards socializing them.

 

Millions of dollars from the "stimulus" funds will be coming to Middle Georgia soon.

 

Congressman Sanford Bishop spent $25,000 in legal fees in March.  He's having to defend himself against the obvious evidence of his corruption.
