Obama’s Concrete Actions In The Last 9 Months

[ Obama ]   

This was rather amazing:

“President Obama said during his speech today: ‘For those who question the character and cause of my nation, I ask you to look at the concrete actions we have taken in just nine months.’

We know what he hasn’t gotten done – health care reform, cap and trade, any discernible bipartisanship or “healing” the country of our racial divides which his enthusiastic minions deepen at every opportunity.  Has the rise of the oceans started to slow?

Getting back to his speech, consider what concrete actions has President Obama taken in the last nine months.  He has:

• Insulted England
  - giving DVDs that only play on American players to Gordon Brown
  - returned the Churchill bust
  - gave the Queen an iPod full of his own speeches
  - recently rebuffed Gordon Brown five times
• Insulted Poland & Czechoslovakia
  - unilaterally broke a missile defense agreement with no warning, on the anniversary of the Russian invasion
• Insulted and threatened Israel
  - “We are going to change the world. Please, don’t interfere.” The report said Netanyahu’s aides interpreted this as a “threat.”
  - delivered an anti-Israel speech at the UN
• Aided in a coup against Honduras’ legitimate government after they legally ousted Zelaya
• Failed to bring himself to even offer a kind word to Iran’s brave protesters – for how many days? – while they were being butchered in the streets by a government to which Obama can’t stop pandering
• Embraced dictators and bowed to Saudi Arabia’s king
• He’s broken so many campaign promises I can’t even keep count, especially ones related to lobbyists and transparency
• Allowed his Attorney General to selectively prosecute racially charged cases
• Announced decision to close GTMO in a year – though with no real plan of what to do with its inmates
• Tripled the deficit and even has China worried about whether we are a good investment

(These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.  List your own in the comments and I’ll add them to the post.)

And this is how he wants the world to judge the character and cause of our nation.

Added:

• The Inspector General scandal
• Government Motors
• Acted like “a bull in a china shop” with our credit industry
• Imposed a $1.01 cigarette tax (but continues to smoke)
• Cash for Clunkers – a stupid idea, poorly managed, that cost taxpayers billions.
• Released GTMO detainees to Bermuda
• Admitted not knowing what happened, but accused cops of acting stupidly, followed up with idiotic “beer summit.“
• Dude, where’s my tax cut?
• NEA propaganda push
• FCC Diversity Czar worries about the dangerous free press
• Whitehouse Hothouse - yet lectures us to use less heat
