By February, less than a month into his presidency, he signed a massive fiscally irresponsible budget busting $ 787 billion spending bill. Obama sold the bill as an economic stimulus to boost the sagging economy. In reality, it was a Democratic wish list of mix and match spending programs that had little or nothing to do with job creation. As unemployment soared, Obama's attention moved from the pesky jobs situation to health care reform. As Americans started to learn details of the health care reform legislation, Obama's allies in Congress got bombarded with questions at town hall meetings. Did Obama respond to anger expressed at those town hall meetings? No, he pressed on and continued to push the Democrats unprecedented health care takeover. He made promise after promise. Health care reform would be deficit neutral, health care reform would cover the uninsured, health care reform would eliminate the term “pre-existing condition” & health care reform would put a chicken in every pot. Well, maybe he didn't say the last one.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid & President Obama pushed forward on health care reform. Then in the November elections, voters pushed back electing Republican governors in New Jersey & Virginia, both states President Obama won against John McCain. Then Republicans gained another U.S. Senate seat when Scott Brown won a special election in Massachusetts to fill Ted Kennedy's senate seat. Did this make Obama and his liberal allies in Congress stop pushing their massive health care reform bill? Of course not, after the Democrats lost in Massachusetts, Speaker Pelosi dramatically stated her intention to pass health care reform, “You go through the gate. If the gate's closed, you go over the fence. If the fence is too high, we'll pole vault in. If that doesn't work, we'll parachute in. But we're going to get health care reform passed.” Apparently Democrats are slow learners. When a Republican candidate in one of the most Democratic states, campaigns as the final vote to kill health care reform and wins, you should know there's a problem.
After one year of Barack Obama as the Commander-in-Chief of America's armed forces, there's one indelible moment that sums up his attitude about this country. In April, the President spoke in Strasbourg, France and he notoriously said, America has “shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive”. From then on, it was clear the President disdains America's role as the preeminent super power in the world. Obama criticizes America more than he criticizes any of her enemies.
One year into Barack Obama's historic presidency. Mythical proclamations of change have given way to the hard reality of governing. With falling approval ratings and high unemployment, Obama's prestige has taken a major hit. Will Obama get the economy turned around in time for the mid-term elections? Will Obama stop pushing health care reform against the will of the people? Will Obama change his tone and stop apologizing for America? Great questions. From what we've seen so far in his presidency, the answer is definitely 'no'. If the president continues on his radical left wing path he will eventually stop falling and finally hit rock bottom.

NObama is a failure and a typical politician in every sense of the word. He makes promises he has no intention of keeping, then makes excuses when he breaks them; he refuses to acknowledge that his policies don't work, choosing instead to place the blame on his predecessor. And to top it all off, he's too ignorant or naive - or both - to realize that this "blame Bush" tactic is backfiring on him.
And now his own administration publishes a report that says his much-vaunted health care law will not decrease costs as NObama said it would, but would actually raise costs instead. No surprise to some of us, those of us who didn't drink the Kool-Aid, but a big surprise to others.
To add insult to injury, one of his staunchest supporters, Sen Chuck Schumer from New York, has publicly labeled NObama's handling of our ally, Israel, as clumsy and irresponsible.
I see bad things on the horizon for NObama, and I can't wait for them to come true! He will deserve everything he gets; unfortunately, the nation will not deserve what it's gonna get in the mean time. But we can blame that on the people who elected this moron, this charlatan, this socialist.
