50 Days of Hope-n-Change

3 administration nominees withdraw due to tax issues.

A tax cheat becomes head of the IRS and Treasury, then proceeds to try and make sure others can't avoid their taxes. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=ao4l9vyug6.c&refer=home

The stock market has the worst February since 1933. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123573389322793621.html

Doubles the national debt, and adds more to it than every single previous president... combined! http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123629969453946717.html

Uhh... They all told me, I was ahhh.... smart enough to do this uhhhh... job.

YouTube - Socialist call

Not a particularly 'presidential' performance here. Obsessing on being called a Socialist by a reporter at a press conference, and stammering around failing to really argue how it isn't. I still think he's an empty suit. Well except for his ego :D

[WashingtonBoy]

Speaking of stammering around, here's what happens when the teleprompter fails...

It took Bush 8 years to get to $3T deficit....it took the Obama regime 31 days to triple it ......:p LOL

[rocknK]

Steve, some of that deficit comes from buying a whole bunch of bombs & bullets to send a whole bunch of terrorist b@sturds straight to he!!! I hope I didn't beat around the Bush too much with my reply!!!:p

[Tiz]

I'd like to see a GWB report card. Other then not making use of his veto pen, and refusing to answer all the attacks leveled at his administration, I think his record will stand up. But then I don't suffer from the Bush hatred disease that is so common today.

Number of American cities turned into smoking holes in the ground after 9/11 = 0

Dang. That's pretty good.

Now let's see how the new guy does.

My guess? Not so good. We'll see.

[HoustonFarrier]

I second that.
