If asked to rate the new President by the artificial yardstick of “The First 100 days” of his presidency, I would have to conclude that (so far) it ranks at or near the bottom. Keep in mind that we’re only 9 days in. Lets take a look. So far, Obama has managed to accomplish the following;

1). Appoint a tax cheat (Timothy Geithner) as treasury secretary (which, ironically, oversees IRS operations).

2). Appoint Eric Holder to the position of Attorney General. Holder (while at the Department of Justice) was involved in the highly controversial pardons of Marc Rich (wanted for fraud and illegal trading with Iran when that country held U.S. hostages), the commuted sentences of domestic terrorists Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg (implicated in the killing of 2 New York State Policemen and a security guard) and the 16 FALN terrorists who carried out bombings in New York and Chicago.

3). Appoint Carol Browner to position of “Global Warming Czar”. Mrs. Browner was formerly one of a handful of leaders of ‘Socialist International’ a group that has called for Global governance and who is often highly critical of the United States.

4). Authorized the closing of Guantanamo (rather cavalierly) without a plan in place for re-locating current detainees, while at the same time pushing to extend ‘Habeus Corpus’ rights to CAPTURED FOREIGN TERRORISTS!!! Hey Obama! Do you remember the trial of the ‘blind sheik’?

5). Break his campaign promise not to hire lobbyist’s for his administration by announcing his intention to hire lobbyist William Lynn as Deputy Defense Secretary.

6). Attack Rush Limbaugh. Are you kidding me? With an economy in a freefall, where tens of thousands of Americans are losing their jobs, homes and retirement savings; is this really the best time for the President of the United States to be picking a fight with a radio talk show host?

Somebody please wake me and tell me that I'm suffering a bad dream. This can't be the ‘change’ Obama was promising....can it? If it is, I'm going back to sleep!
