    President Obama's First Year of Accomplishments:
    (It would appear that he was a very busy American leader — Leader??)

    1. Offended the Queen of England.
    2. Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia.... See More
    3. Praised the Marxist Daniel Ortega.
    4. Kissed Socialist Hugo Chavez on the cheek.
    5. Endorsed the Socialist Evo Morales of Bolivia.
    6. Sided with Hugo Chavez and Communist Fidel Castro against Honduras.
    7. Announced we would meet with Iranians with no pre-conditions while
    they're building their nuclear weapons. Also sent officials of the Obama
    Administration to North Korea for direct talks about their nuclear program.
    (This is tantamount to the US officially recognizing the government of
    North Korea --- which we still do not --- and beginning diplomatic relations
    with them --- which we never have had. And should not, ever.)
    8. Gave away billions to AIG without pre-conditions.
    9. Expanded the bailouts (many more billions).
    10. Insulted everyone who has ever loved a Special Olympian.
    11. Is tripling or quadrupling our national debt, which our great-grandchildren won't be able to pay off (Latest estimates
    are $110 Trillion - plus). They'll be lucky to even be able to pay on the interest.
    12. Announced the termination of our new missile defense system the day after North Korea launched an ICBM.
    13. Released information on U.S. Intelligence gathering despite urgings of his own CIA director and the prior four CIA directors.
    14. Accepted without comment that five of his cabinet members cheated on their taxes and two other nominees withdrew after they couldn't take the heat.
    15. Appointed a Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano who identified military veterans, gun owners and abortion opponents as "dangers to the nation."
    16. Ordered that the word "terrorism" no longer be used and instead
    refers to such acts as "man-made disasters."
    17. Circled the globe to publicly apologize for America's world leadership.
    18. Told the Mexican president that the violence in their country was because of us.
    19. Politicized the census by moving it into the White House from the Department of Commerce.
    20. Appointed as Attorney General the man who orchestrated the forced removal and expulsion to Cuba of a 9-year-old whose mother died trying to bring him to freedom in the United States.
    21. Salutes as heroes three Navy SEALS who took down three terrorists who threatened one American life, and the next day announces members of the Bush administration may stand trial for "torturing" three 9/11 terrorists by pouring water up their noses.
    22. Low altitude photo shoot of Air Force One over New York City that frightened thousands of New Yorkers.
    23. Sent his National Defense Advisor to Europe to assure them that the US will no longer treat Israel in a special manner and they might be on their own with the Muslims.
    24. Praised Jimmy Carter's trip to Gaza where he sided with terrorist Hamas against Israel.
    25. Nationalized General Motors and Chrysler while turning shareholder control over to the unions and freezing out retired investors who owned their bonds. Committed unlimited taxpayer billions in the process.
    26. Passed a huge energy tax in the House that will make American industry even less competitive while costing homeowners thousands per year.
    27. Has been pushing for nationalized health care "reform" that will strip seniors of their Medicare, cut pay of physicians, increase taxes yet another $1 trillion, and put everyone on rationed care with government bureaucrats deciding who gets care and who doesn't.
    28. Left the Czech Republic and Poland hanging out to dry by cancelling the planned 'missile defense shield' that was to be installed in their countries. And did so on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Union's invasion of Poland.
    29. Botched his attempt to bring the Olympics to Chicago by giving a lame presentation to the Olympic Committee. (Maybe that was a GOOD accomplishment.)
    30. Bowed to the Emperor of Japan. This not only offended the hell out of us, but it also offended the Japanese people because of the way he did it.
    31. While in Copenhagen, insulted the King of Denmark by snubbing him and declining his invitation to dinner.
    32. Has been working on selling out the sovereignty of the United States and making us subservient to the UN, the EU, and other international organizations.
    33. Has been continually weakening our National Defense and Security, e.g., Set a timetable for withdrawal of our troops from Iraq and
    Afghanistan (our enemies appreciate that); Cancelled the F-22 Joint Strike Fighter program; Has been gutting the CIA, the FBI, our Armed Forces, and our Nation's industry and production; Dragged his feet and ignored his generals before paying any attention to their requests and recommendations, then reduced what they need; Has refused to secure our borders.
    34. Has appointed over 30 "Czars", who are answerable only to him without having to be approved by Congress. Among them are tax cheats, convicted criminals, radicals, Marxists, and even one or two self-avowed Communists. His "Pay Czar" tells corporations how much they can pay their executives.
    35. Is trying, a step at a time, to circumvent the Constitution of The United States as it is written and, little by little, take away our rights which are outlined in the Bill of Rights.
    36. Has worsened the recession, caused the US Dollar to be further devalued, and driven this country's unemployment rate to over 10%.
    37. Will close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, move the terrorist prisoners to here within the US, give them the same constitutional rights as US Citizens, and try them in US civilian court rather than by Military Tribunal.

    Henk, yeah, I kind of feel like I do at times.

    I see members posting blog posts or news items with no intent on expressing whether they agree, disagree or have an alternate viewpoint to what is posted. I just wonder what their thoughts are. I guess maybe it has become my New Year's resolution to challenge people on why they think or feel a particular way about what they do.

    I sat at the bar at my local American Legion the other day, talking with two veterans in their 60's or so. To keep it general, one was pretty liberal, the other pretty conservative. We had a very good conversation going with none of the three of us getting heated in the slightest. What I found was that neither the liberal nor the conservative seemed to understand the political situations being discussed but could spout the talking points of their particular leaning. Kind of an, "I'm offended because 'they' are offended" type of thing. When I asked both of them to explain how they really felt, neither could put it into words, and come to find out, neither of them really felt or believed the same way they did when giving the talking points.

    For me, on the idea of creating lists of missteps or misdeeds, those same type of lists could be constructed or used against my favorite presidents in history no matter how "good" or "bad" they were considered in our history. I don't want to forget our country's past, nor do I want to dwell and remain in that history.

    Thanks for questioning me! :) It keeps me honest!

    I like bin Obama. He's singlehandledly responsible for more Americans arming themselves in a shorter time period, and thereby rediscovering that the people hold the ultimate power in this country, than any other man or event I can think of.
