A rundown of Obama FAILS in just his first two weeks as President.
That Obama would have so many FAILS in just two weeks bodes well for the next three years, fifty weeks (in no particular order):
1.
Bill Richardson out over a Federal indictment. Something no one has mentioned is that these issues were there when this poster boy for above-board business dealings was running for POTUS. I don't know what is scarier, that Bill ran for POTUS knowing he was a crook, or the pass he received from the MSM on this issue while running for POTUS.
2.
Hillary Clinton, our new Secretary of State. She'll be dealing with some of the same foreign governments who donated copious amounts of money to hubby Bill's foundation. Knowing the long, storied political integrity of both Clintons, I'm sure there'll be no problems. Conflicts of interest could not possibly affect the "smartest woman in the world". She also wrote a book *giggle*. the woman is more than qualified. The irony is that she lost to the only guy in the race with less actual experience running anything than herself.
3.
Eric Holder, our new Attorney General. The issue of his hand in pardoning Clinton crony Marc Rich, as well as his dealing with pardoning terrorists will have no bearing whatsoever as to his judgment in future criminal matters. Really.
4.
Tim Geithner, our new Treasury Secreatry. Our new head of the IRS doesn't feel tha need to pay personal income taxes over a period of years. All is forgiven however when Geitner aplogizes. His failure to pay those taxes over a period of years was just a "mistake" after all. Ponder to yourself, if you haven't already, if you would be forgiven such a "mistake". Also there is no concern that this "only man who understands the bailout" couldn't figure out how Turbo Tax works. If this weren't real and the guy weren't already confirmed and seated in the post, you'd probably be laughing right now at the absurdity of the whole situation. And don't forget he had at one point during this same time employed an immigrant who "didn't have papers". The guy didn't give a crap about the countries tax laws, why should our nations employment and immigration laws be any different?
5.
Tom Daschle, dropped out as the Health and Human Services director.
Fearless Leader President Obama told us Daschle was another person he stood by, "Absolutely." Daschle was another "only one for the job" types who also failed to pay personal income taxes. Like Geithner, Daschle didn't see these taxes as an issue until it was time to serve the new President and this obvious oversight (until being selected as a modern day apostle for The One) was lost on everyone in the MSM.
6.
Nancy Killefer, another tax dodger, withdraws as an Obama appointee. She was up for the job "Chief Performance Officer". WTF is a "Chief Performance Officer"? She had a tax lien placed on her home, but she is not being villified as "Joe the Plumber" was for the same thing. One must question The One to receive negative press it seems.
7. Obama's extensive lists of lobbysists he has tapped for various government posts. This wouldn't be so bad in and of itself if Obama himself hadn't said he wouldn't have lobbyists in his administration. nor would it be an issue if Obama hadn't implemented a "lobbyist ban", and then turned around and already made
17 "exceptions" to the aforementioned ban in the past 14 days. As Hot Air poster Ed Morrissey says,
"What kind of governing philosophy is that, if not a big 'For Sale' sign on the White House, at least according to Obama’s own anti-lobbyist rhetoric on the campaign trail? A lobbyist a day helps keeps accountability away."
9. The "Stimulus". 40 years of progressive liberal spending dreams all wrapped up into one massive, gignatic crap sandwich.
Consider this a short list up to this point. Of course if you are a progressive/liberal/Democrat some of these aren't really failures at all, but we don't need to expound on how liberals feel about anything the Obamamessiah does.
I don't think there is even a liberal public-school grading system out there that can polish up this turd of a report card.
