Underestimating His Suckiness
Not my best headline, but succinct.
Yesterday, I linked to a story which cited 17 lies in the first 100 days of the Obama presidency. That’s about one a week (with Sunday as a day of rest).
But others have been more dogged in their research, and have found a blunder a day:
1. “Obama criticized pork barrel spending in the form of ‘earmarks,’ urging changes in the way that Congress adopts the spending proposals. Then he signed a spending bill that contains nearly 9,000 of them, some that members of his own staff shoved in last year when they were still members of Congress. ‘Let there be no doubt, this piece of legislation must mark an end to the old way of doing business, and the beginning of a new era of responsibility and accountability,’ Obama said.” — McClatchy, 3/11
2. “There is no doubt that we’ve been living beyond our means and we’re going to have to make some adjustments.” — Obama during the campaign.
3. This year’s budget deficit: $1.5 trillion.
4. Asks his Cabinet to cut costs in their departments by $100 million — a whopping .0027%!
5. “The White House says the president is unaware of the tea parties.” — ABC News, 4/15
As the old song goes: 95 bottles of beer on the wall, 95 bottles of beer…
And don’t forget HotAir’s Obamateurism of the Day:
There’s much to celebrate from the FBI’s first 100 days [sic].
If the FBI had this guy’s record of success, John Dillinger would still be knocking over banks.
