Much has been written about the first 100 days of
the Obama Administration. They have been astonishing. It goes without
saying that people like me, who never wanted to see him become
president, are dissatisfied with his performance. In fact, there has
been a blizzard of controversial actions initiated by President Obama
in that short period of time.
Voters chose Barack Obama to become president.
Not by a landslide, but by a majority. Many of them had no idea who he
was. They still don’t. In his first 100 days he initiated policies
that have alarmed many of America’s voters, including some who voted
for him. For starters he pushed through a bill that spent trillions of
dollars and indebted our children and grandchildren for years to come.
He spent more than all of America’s presidents combined since America
became a Republic.
Barack Obama was a major player in Chicago
politics. Corruption was and is the norm there. I mentioned before
that it is impossible to swim in a sewer for years without becoming
very, very dirty. The people he has selected to become a part of his
administration share at least one thing in common. They all have very
questionable histories. Here are some examples:
Tom Daschle – Proposed for Director of Health and
Human Services. His nomination was withdrawn because of his failure to
pay taxes.
Timothy Geithner – Another appointee who owes
back taxes. President Obama selected this recalcitrant tax payer to be
Secretary of the Treasury in his administration
.
Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico –
Richardson withdrew his name from consideration for a cabinet position
when it surfaced that he was under investigation for awarding a
lucrative contract to a firm that contributed heavily to his campaign.
