The American Apologist

I apologize for my absence, I have been away from the computer with the birth of a child. Mother and child are both doing fine — thanks to all of you who sent congratulations our way!

President Barack Hussein Obama’s first 100 Days in office is a huge media event tonight. The MSM is in a tizzy because Fox has decided to carry American Idol and is pushing the President’s dog and pony show to its news channel. This morning I watched one of the networks (they’re all the same except for Fox) as it played snippets of average Americans giving their unbiased opinion of the President’s performance — those which they have vetted and edited, of course. Most were almost comical — they ranged from “he’s done a spectacular job (A+)” to “he hasn’t done much, but he inherited such a mess from Bush (B+)” and “I don’t think he’s done much, but he’s still my President (A-)”. I also laughed at the white woman who said “he hasn’t done anything, but it’s good to have a black man as President”… really? Two of the 3 snippets said he hadn’t accomplished much, but gave him above average grades while the third said he was an over-achiever.  Wow, spending TRILLIONS of dollars apparently does buy you good marks with the useful idiots out there.

I, respectfully, disagree with the MSM and their minions. I think his wasting of Trillions of (our) dollars is bad. I think the government taking over control of American companies is a BAD idea. I think his cuddling up with the world’s leading despots and his ‘Blame America First’ doctrine does nothing to help US interests. Furthermore, I think his minions spending some $320,000 to fly Air Force One low over NYC (and scaring the crap out of the citizens) is another example of stupidity in his administration. In fact, there has been nothing in the first 100 days which had changed my opinion of him — he’s a Chicago Democrat with a thug, socialist political agenda. His 2 biggest accomplishment seem to be that he is black and that he speaks well when he’s in front of a teleprompter. He is an empty suit — unfrotunately, that makes politics a great career choice for him.

Oh, and lest anyone think today’s politicians are altruistic, what about Arlen Spectre’s change BACK to the Democratic party after a 43 hiatus? Folks, it’s like I always tell you — politics is about power and control, not about doing civic-minded deeds.
