Ask the man in the street to list President Obama’s historic firsts and the answer will probably be limited to Obama as America’s first black president.
But Doug Ross has compiled a list of even more impressive firsts for Obama, an historic catalog which could only be accomplished by a combination of ruthless cynicism, fanatic leftistism, and contempt for the American Constitution.
• First president to preside over a cut to the credit rating of the United States Government.
• First president to violate the War Powers Act.
• First president to orchestrate the sale of murder weapons to Mexican drug cartels.
• First president to issue an unlawful “recess-appointment” while the U.S. Senate remained in session (against the advice of his own Justice Department).
• First president to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
• First president to intentionally disable credit card security measures in order to allow over-the-limit donations, foreign contributions and other illegal fundraising measures.
• First president to defy a federal judge’s court order to cease implementing the Health Care Reform Law.
• First president to halt deportations of illegal aliens and grant them work permits, a form of stealth amnesty roughly equivalent to The Dream Act, which could not pass Congress.
• First president to sign a law requiring all americans to purchase a product from a third party.
• First president to spend a trillion dollars on shovel-ready jobs — and later admit there was no such thing as shovel-ready jobs.

Quite a list of accomplishments. Michelle must be very proud of him.

I would add: first person to pretend to be black in order to become president (he is as African as I am French).

We survived Carter. I think we can survive one term of Obama. Maybe not two though.

I think the best description I have heard of Obama was coined by Hugh Hewitt – IOHH – In Over His Head.
But he comes from an environment from where so many of our politicians seems to come – where your income is primarily or solely public money.
He hasd no clue about the private sector, or what makes it work.
And it took a commenter over at ChicagoBoyz.net – in talking about the University of Chicago, to remind me of how wife Michelle got her job …
<i>”…..The university has gotten far more political at the state and national levels than it used to be. Remember when Michelle Obama was promoted into a multi-$100,000 job as VP for community development/communications for the hospital (IIRC) when her hubby became senator? And I bet that they’ll offer both of them tasty jobs after his Presidency is over. </i>
To me it seems as obvious as the nose on our face, but who do they think funds the public sector?
Make it harder for the private sector to run and what happens to the public sector?

I fear we minimize Obama’s radical agenda by dismissing him as merely incompetent. He’s a very competent radical who is trying to subvert our free market economy in favor of a European National Socialist model… because it’s working out so well for them.

If people love Obama they will minimize the importance of this list and blame George Bush for, well, everything.

Now, don’t knock Bibi! Can you imagine being PM of a country with 6M people and all with differing opinions? The advice he must get from all we Jews, as well as all the Arabs, and G-d bless him, even Obama. I actually feel sorry for the man, and it looks like he is beginning to develop some cojones and a little spine.
