President Obama Prepares to Mark ‘Hallmark Holiday’ of First 100 Days

Your question: “What do you think?”
My answer: That this “administration” (that is a generous use of that term) proves that the USA is no longer the greatest nation to exist in history, and it is no longer a nation to be proud of. Instead, with this bunch in the Exec. Branch along with the 111th Worst Congress Ever, this nation has sunk into the cesspool of failed nations, and failed ideas.
Benjamin Franklin told a woman that they had given us a “republic, if we could keep it”. Now, we are in an avalance of big government greed and powermongering, and our citizen ninnies cannot give up their freedoms fast enough, when promised a handout by this Mafia-like “government”.
Sure, the media has a weeklong propaganda fest planned, in concert with the Chicago Mob. So what? I suppose those who think Jon Stewart is a respectable news source will fall for it. But then they were dumb enough to fall for the whole Hopey McChange burgers that the media has been feeding them for a year or more.
100 days? Exactly what was expected. A huge, colossal, epic failure of this nation, its citizens, it’s ballyhooed “free” media, and its government. This entire administration is garbage – crooked, unpatriotic, and amoral.
OBAMA = FAILURE

Hey Jake,
What’s up with the propoganda? Don’t you know Gallup has Obama’s “first 100 days” approval ratings behind George W. Bush, Herbert W. Bush, Nixon, Carter and Reagan’s approval ratings. Gallup has Obama at 56%.
Come on man!
Read and learn!

“What’s up with the propoganda? Don’t you know Gallup has Obama’s “first 100 days” approval ratings behind George W. Bush, Herbert W. Bush, Nixon, Carter and Reagan’s approval ratings. Gallup has Obama at 56%.”
I didn’t see Gallup cite any numbers re: GWB but that 56% is the number of people who say he is doing an “excellent” or “good” job. If you add the people who say he is doing an “OK” job, which I don’t think you can call “bad”, he’s at 79%. In their daily tracker, he’s at 65 approve and 29 disapprove. H
Seems like you are the one spreading propaganda. Face it, the guy is popular and people are willing to give him time to fix the problems that face us. That may not be the case a year from now but right now, that’s the reality.
Of course, George Soros is probably just days away from ordering Obama to travel to his real home country of Kenya, where he will eat live puppies and French kiss Ahmadinejad wearing an “I Heart ACORN” t-shirt, all under the direction of a record-size teleprompter, so I epxect the dip in approval ratings to begin shortly.

They laughed when Cheney said this:
“Clinton tells Iraq: ‘Bombs are a sign of success’
“US SECRETARY of State Hillary Clinton said yesterday that last week’s deadly bombings in Iraq are a sign that extremists are afraid the Iraqi government is succeeding.”
“‘I think that these suicide bombings… are unfortunately, in a tragic way, a signal that the rejectionists fear that Iraq is going in the right direction,’ Clinton told reporters travelling aboard her plane ahead of her unannounced visit to Baghdad.”

Okay, here’s the deal Jake:
Gallup seems to be changing their headlines to fit the needs of the “progressive” community. Now their latest headline reads: “86% say Obama passing or meeting expectations.” But the fact of the matter is, according to Gallup, only 56% of Americans believe Obama has done an excellent or good job. 20% say he has done a poor or terrible job. And about a quarter of Americans are on the fence, saying his performance has been “just okay”. It’s all about spinning it the way they want to spin it. For a comparison of previous presidents’ approval ratings, check out the following:
Jake, it would behoove you to do a more thorough study of these polls, lest you get swept up in the mainstream media’s spin. I expect better from you, Jake. I don’t know if they had “on the fence” ratings during the previous presidents’ tenures, however, “on the fence” means, “on the fence” – and it is not an approval of Obama.

Congratulations to Obama…however for accurate results it might be best to wait and see the results of his policy agenda

Kind of hard to be down in the polls when virtually all of the MSM is in the tank for him.
Why look for fair, factual, and balanced when supporters can live in lala land with Obama where everything
is rosy.

In 100 days Obama has put us trillions in debt mostly to China-who had to cut him off.
He has insulted our longtime allies
and even has Canada booing our National Anthem.
He wants to be friends with Chavez, Ortega, and Castros who have all insulted him.
The CIA no longer can depend on him because he decided to be a doormat to his base and reveal Top Secrets.
While he tried to hide the memos that showed interrogations kept us safe.
Gosh I could go on and on.
And then there’s that deep deep bow.

Liz Cheney for president in 2012.
It’s going to be so bad by then even Democrats might want a Cheney for president.
She is pretty sharp!

Gasping for Straws?

Obama should be even higher in the polls.
America only gets to hear the positive things about Obama from most of the media.
The majority of Americans bought his bull in the campaign and they are still buying it.

OBAMA = FAILURE
***************************************
With an aproval ratings in the mid 60s?
What then do you call the GOP?

“Obama doing the only thing he knows how to do–but he is good at reading TOTUS.”
But you guys are even better at reading and repeating from your neo-con human teleprompter Rush Limbaugh.

I’m sure the Taliban/enemies are happy with Obama’s 100 days now that they know our secrets.
Bet they are looking forward to the next 100 days.

He is weak-willed and indecisive.
****************************************
Then why are you guys whinning about all his decisions? (Hint if he is indcesisive he doesn’t make any)

How durable and sustainable his support, and how he uses it, will be the story of the next 100 days — and the next 100 — of his presidency.”
****************************************
Actually this 100 day crap has got to go, he has 8 years to go, and every 100 days is going to give the GOP more to whine about. It is torture I tell you.

Amazing viewpoints by supposedly informed Americans.
WIth this kind of nonsense (by both the extreme left and the extreme right) there can be little hope for a unified nation. As such, there is no hope for long term survival of the USA. That is what you get when you cling to your partisan extremes and your dishonest media.
I have to say, as an independent (I used to be a Republican, but that was before Newt Gingrich) I find Obama honest and intelligent. The nonsense about socialism and doom is unfounded in fact. If liberals had any sense they wouldn’t salivate every time an absurdly fat right wing republican talk show host spewed drug induced paranoia on the airways.
I would very much like to see reasonable balance on the right against the likes of Nancy Pelosi (she does appear in the minority in the Democratic party, so lets get a grip on that one). Unfortunately, the Republican party appears to suffer at it’s own hand — having embraced idiots like born again Palin and economic/regulatory religion as though the works of man were perfect. The Republican party is going to die if it keeps this up.
The Democrats are not in much better shape, but at the moment they do have the tide of history on their side, and Obama is very astute about what he faces from within his own party. If there is ANY recovery by the end of this year — obstructionist and non-contributing Republicans will have nothing to sell except fear (wait, that’s been their one card since 9/11) about future generations. But here’s the rub: Americans tend to live in the moment, and if the moment is improving fear ain’t gonna cut it.

Sorry to burst your bubble O but
a couple of hours of listening to

will send the terrorists screaming from
the room and begging for mercy!
That truly is Torture!

PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS DONE A GOOD JOB IN HIS FIRST 100 DAY’S BETTER THEN EVERY PRESIDENT SINCE JFK.

=====================
Now just imagine a “radical islamist extremist” who have fundamental religious beliefs concerning the covering of women looking at FOX News “aka” softporn with all the mini skirts and caked on lip gloss. Also they would be spooked out of their minds looking at glen beck’s psycho-sadistic arse.
Not to mention how Fox has that highly animated “news alert” just to show a kitten caught in a tree.
Then just imagine listening to Hannity’s nasally voice for a day and Levin’s old crotchety “get off my lawn” voice. The prisoner would spill the beans in seconds.

And guess where Larry Summers is now (Google him if you are ignorant).
“If there is a pattern emerging here it is not incompetence but, say Obama’s critics, ‘capture’. Both Bernanke and Geithner stood at the heart of the Bush policy elite during the days of dither and denial that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Obama, lacking credible economic heavyweights in his own circle, was obliged to reach into the ranks of Clinton-era Democrats. The irony of Larry Summers’ appointment as chief economic adviser was not lost on historians of the credit crunch: Summers had hailed the 1999 law that deregulated Wall Street as ‘a major step toward the 21st century’.
“Obama is surrounded by decision-makers who had ‘drunk the Kool Aid’ during the subprime bubble and were profoundly committed to the neoliberal ideology of self-regulation that has now fallen apart. Only the fiscal stimulus truly bears Obama’s chosen brand values of audacity and untaintedness. But this, too, is proving heavily problematic.”

Don’t try and rain on our Obama parade now. Look at the numbers: Despite the scope of the challenges facing him Obama is doing pretty well in most peoples’ opinion. Besides, when did running up a huge deficit while telling Americans to just feel better about themselves ever bother self-proclaimed conservatives before? It’s right out of the Ronald Reagan playbook, so it should have a warm familiar feeling to it.

Hmmm…
“Gallup reports that 56% of the public believes that Obama is doing an excellent/good job. Gallup reported 62% approved of George W. Bush’s job performance after the first 100 days.”

Rasmussen today:
”The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 35% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-two percent (32%) Strongly Disapprove….
“Overall, 54% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance so far. Forty-five percent (45%) disapprove.”

Facist Hyena:”"One noticeable difference is that approval of Obama is much more divided along partisan lines today than Bush’s ratings were eight years ago…. ”
It has been very well noted that President Bush received much more support from the opposing party after his election than Obama, extending all the way to Congress where he was able to pass his signature tax cut and education reform bills even though Dems controlled the Senate. This documented reality only serves to make the hyper-partisan actions of the Republicans in Congress look even more self-serving and hypocritical.

“This documented reality only serves to make the hyper-partisan actions of the Republicans in Congress look even more self-serving and hypocritical.”
And how is it that we can determine that today’s congressional Republicans are hyper-partisan, while today’s Democrats are not. It seems as simple as it can possibly be to me that both parties are 100% partisan today, and have been since the Democrats changed their minds about a war they approved and authorized the president to wage.

‘Night, all. Go do your homework this time.

Obama’s popularity with his supporters is the triumph of hope over reality.

“This documented reality only serves to make the hyper-partisan actions of the Republicans in Congress look even more self-serving and hypocritical.”
“This documented reality”
Hilarious.
When Bush was President dissent was patriotic, and now it’s not. The documented reality is that Democrats are hypocrites.

Jake
With all this new transparency do you think we could see Obama’s college transcripts and the list of lobbyist waivers?

Jake
Could you please ask Gibbs why Obama redacted this sentence from Dennis Blari’s letter?
“I like to think I would not have approved those methods in the past,” he wrote, “but I do not fault those who made the decisions at that time….”
TIA!

Obama is flat on his butt in the face of a Flu Epidemic……..
The Obama administration declared a “public health emergency” Sunday to confront the swine flu — but is heading into its first medical outbreak WITHOUT A SECRETARY of Health and Human Services OR APPOINTEES IN ANY of the department’s 19 key posts.
President Barack Obama has NOT YET CHOSEN A SURGEON GENERAL OR THE HEAD of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. His choice to run the Food and Drug Administration awaits confirmation—in a heavily Democratic Senate.

Yes, Obama really said this in his weekly address. George Orwell is spinning in his grave!
“We cannot settle for a future of rising deficits and debts that our children cannot pay,” the president says, adding that we must “recognize that we cannot meet the challenges of today with old habits and stale thinking. So much of our government was built to deal with different challenges from a different era. Too often, the result is wasteful spending, bloated programs, and inefficient results. It’s time to fundamentally change the way that we do business in Washington.”

And the Republicans wouldn’t happen to be blocking any of these appointments would they?
Posted by: Skip | Apr 27, 2009 11:06:23 AM
The only nominee the Republcans are blocking is Sibelius, who LIED about campaign contributions from Pro-Abortion groups.

A more honest complaint would be that Obama has not chosen someone that you approve of by now.
Posted by: Skip | Apr 27, 2009 11:21:45 AM
It is not mere disapproval, but Sibelius’s violation of campaign law–like Geithner’ violation of IRS law–that is the problem.

You forgot about his European trip
where he trashed his country and
got nothing in return…
Posted by: reaganfan | Apr 27, 2009 12:03:29 PM
During his trip to France, Obama could not even be troubled to pay tribute to our War Dead at Normandy. But he and Michelle did hit all the hot spots in Paris.

“Rasmussen today:”
Ahhh yes Rasmussen who consistently had the highest approval ratings for George Bus out of any polling organization and has disapproval ratings for Obama that are about 10 pts higher than any other poll.
Some of his other polls indicate that Americans don’t want torture investigated and support the tea parties (that poll was hilarious as he had to weed out people who did not support it to call it a majority)
No wonder he is FoxNews’s go to guy for polling.

“Fascist Hyena:”I’m relying on the ranking of twenty polling organizations during the 2008 election cycle as published in the study done at Fordham University.”
Which is hilarious since the college grad student who wrote that gets the final percentages WRONG in order to call Rasmussen the most accurate.
Final poll results had
McCain: 45.6
Obama: 52.9
On the Fordham study the grad student rounds up the McCain percentage 46% and rounds down the Obama percentage to 52% in order to fit Rasmussen’s last projection.
Even funnier is Rasmussen now cites this study on his wesbite as an endorsement, which shows he cares more about message than accuracy.
Just like his republican employers.

President Obama promised on the campaign trail that he would have the most transparent administration in history. As part of this commitment, he said that the public would have five days to look online and find out what was in the bills that came to his desk before he signed them. It was his first broken promise, and it’s the promise that keeps on breaking. He has now signed 11 bills into law and gone, at best, 1 for 11 on his five-day posting promise. The Obama administration should deliver on the Web-enabled transparency he promised and post bills for five days before signing.
To the thrill of technology and transparency advocates, candidate Obama promised sunlight before signing: “As president,” his campaign website said, “Obama will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days.”
But nine days after taking office, he signed a bill into law without posting it on Whitehouse.gov for five days. Since then, 10 more bills have become law over the president’s signature, and only one has been posted online for five days — and that was for five days after it cleared Congress, not after formal presentment. Two bills have been held by the White House for five days before signing — but they weren’t posted online!

At what point will it be appropriate to start counting the days left?
