I'm impressed with Barry's first 100 days - THE NC Herd Fan - 04-29-2009 05:42 AM
He has accomplished so much!!!!
1) Reward Unions for there support during the election.
UAW to get 55% stake in Chrysler current owners nothing
UAW and Gubment get combined 89% stake in GM current owners get 1%
2) Improve US relationship with third world dictators
I think Chavez, Castro and others appear to love him
3) Bring European style socialized Health Care to US -- coming soon.
4) Try Hero's of post 9-11 era as criminals while letting terrorists go.
I must say that's some list.

Put Kenya on the map.
Created a yearning for the days of Bill Clinton.
Made the media come up with creative new ways of polling.
Became the number one salesman for guns.

...Issue a Memo stating that a low flying Air Force One in Manahatten would Terrorize NY Citizens then do it anyway...

The one that gets me is putting his kids in a DC private school, then yanking the voucher program that allows poor kids to..... wait for it .... go to DC private school.
That one really stinks.

Quote:The first 100 days of a president’s term mark a milestone by which we try to evaluate the administration’s agenda and the direction it aims to take the country over the coming years. By any measure, President Obama’s first 100 days have been eye-opening. The President, with a gleeful seal of approval from his liberal allies in Congress, has already managed to bury future generations of Americans beneath a mountain of debt. Sadly, the President’s hallmark policies -- the $787 billion non-stimulus, the meddlesome bailouts, and the budget plan working its way through Congress -- all send a clear signal that attempts at more generational theft will continue for the foreseeable future.
Quote:Though the opening months of the Obama administration have been a setback for responsible government, it would be a mistake to equate this with a failure in conservative initiative or dimmed prospects for the future.
He speaks the truth!!!

Which makes any future UAW threat to Strike GM basically toothless.
How can a Union strike a company that they own the majority, and since is GM is basically Nationalized, can the employees even strike? Remember PATCO in 1981?

Why would they strike when they can give themselves anything they want?

Looking seriously at the first 100 days, I can't see a single thing that he has done--nor anything that he promises to do in the future--that will affect my life in a positive manner.
Anybody else?

I agree. But I'm sure the left will bring up the global warming issue and a bunch of other junk and say it positively impacts you and your future.

I could whore myself and try to get more of the S&T dollars he promised. That's one more reason I don't like obscene gov't spending, it presents bad dilemmas. Do I pursue R&D that could benefit the country, but while doing it, promote tax&spend policies that are harmful to the country?
