The $40,000,000,000-a-Day Presidency

Check my math: doesn’t four trillion divided by 100 equal 40 billion?

I’m still for counting days in such a way to celebrate President Obama’s 100th Day on May Day—but not for the first time am I alone on an island.

Let us pause in our partisan sniping and celebrate the remarkable and historic achievements in the first (and hopefully last) 100 days of this administration. Something tells me we’ll be studying this period for a long time in our history books—either by royal decree, or to figure out how 233 years of liberty went down the toilet so quickly:

Barack Obama is the frivolous man who concocted his own presidential-looking Great Seal before he was elected. An ego big enough to publicly display a ridiculous “Vero Possumus” (“Yes, we can” in Latin) motto and a regal eagle with the Obama campaign logo emblazoned on its chest is an ego capable of far more reckless things. Obama orchestrated a grand photo-op in Berlin, Germany, to declare his world citizenship at the Siegessäule Victory Column – a soaring monument of arrogance championed by Adolph Hitler and Third Reich architect Albert Speer. He manufactured his own Open Temple of The One in Denver for the Democratic National Convention last summer, replete with fake Greek columns.

Since taking office, President Obama has remained in perpetual campaign mode, idling in 9/10 gear. The photo album has filled up quickly with megalomaniacal moments. When his massive, pork-filled stimulus package was in trouble, he ran to Ft. Myers, Florida, for a carefully choreographed revival meeting with his most ardent supporters. “It is such a blessing to see you. Oh! Gracious God, thank you so much!” one young booster exclaimed.

Exactly. The kamikaze swoop over Ground Zero was just the Brandenburg Gate he never had.

But if it were all glitz and meringue, we’d be a lot better off. It’s the substance of this administration we have to fear, not fear itself.

    The man has no shame. It is shocking to contemplate how much damage he has done to our republic in only 100 days.
