The First 100 Days.....

Welcome back to Simple Man Politics today my friends where we are celebrating the 101st day of the Obama administration. Well maybe not celebrating so much as marking the time already spent in the White House as well as his accomplishments. Well maybe not necessarily accomplishments, but actions which are many if not necessarily change we can believe in.

I must admit he has had one hell of a first 100 days in office though, and not without some difficulty has he managed to start pushing his agenda and getting those people he feels are necessary to implement his plans in place. Of course the change we can believe in has not come without some scandal and opposition, which has not come as a surprise to some of us who are watching his Presidency take shape.

Since Obamas first day in office he has started the ball rolling on closing up Guantanamo Bay. He has also gained control of the domestic auto and financial industries. He has weakened the defense department with cuts in spending on necessary programs to have a 21st century military. Not to mention the fact Obama is now on the brink of nationalizing healthcare and education.

He has managed to do all of this stuff to the American people while using up the funds from the first stimulus package created by President Bush, and passing yet another stimulus bill with an over all price tag of over 1 billion dollars. He as also gotten his omnibus spending bill or budget passed. Even after all the spending he has done he has promised to raise the national debt by 3.5 billion in his first 20 months in office and 10 trillion over all by the end of his first term.

Also within his first 100 days in office he has failed to fill all of his cabinet positions without scandal. Tax cheats seem to be his favorite choice for nominees and appointees with the occasional pay to play figure thrown in just to mix things up. I believe that there has definitely been some sort of transparency and it is transparently obvious that the change he has promised is big government ran by thugs and criminals he pushes own the tax payers throats with his party being firmly in control in both houses of congress.

It is truly amazing to me that with all of the chaos and damage he is wreaking upon our people, economy, defense, and trust that he has managed to maintain a personal approval rating above 60% while the rest of his party has suffered immensely from low approval ratings. Of course it all depends on whose polls you believe as to whether or not his personal approval is above 60%.

I got to tell you I personally can’t wait to see what this guy tries to pull in the next 100 days it is bound to be nothing if not scandal ridden and eventful. I have to tell you though that after his first 100 days in office I’m sure he won’t be able to surprise me any more. Of course now that I have said that he just might surprise my by doing something like appointing Reverend Jeremiah Wright as the White House Chaplain, but who knows for sure.

I will be back again tomorrow and I hope you all have an awesome day folks CIAO4NOW!!!!!
