What have we learned about Obama in his first 100 days in office? He is a far left liberal who is against capitalism and a free market economy. Exactly as he was pointed out by conservatives in the last election.
"Spreading the wealth" was what he told Joe the plumber he wanted to do. Then he denied it. But boy has he done it!
The Democrat party controlled federal government and the UAW will now control G.M. and Chrysler. Weren't these the same people who demanded the high pay and dream benefits for assembly workers and environmental extreme demands from the car makers that put theses companies in the shape they are in?
The President who wanted the two parties to work together sat by as Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid locked Republicans out of negotiations.
Being elected with a promise of "an ethical administration", Obama seems to have totally lied about this one, filling his cabinet with tax cheats, lobbyists and campaign donors.
The eloquent speaker who sent goosebumps up Chris Mathews leg can't seem to even greet the press corps without the use of a teleprompter. Part of being an eloquent speaker is knowing what to say. Not just reading your lines. His eloquence, like the Greek columns in Denver, was a pretty facade used to sell Obama.
To quote the President and his economic team; "It's gonna get worse before it gets better." So much for optimism from this administration. But we can use that same phrase when it comes to the Republican party. Much like the mess I make in the process of cleaning the house, it helps to separate the trash from the necessities. The trash gets thrown out. Hopefully Arlen Specter takes a few other fellow senators who have used GOP money to push their Dem agendas. In 2010 the party will be more clearly defined. And it's my opinion that after two years of the Obama dictatorship, a clear opposition will be the successful victor of the next elections. Specter was one of a very small group of Republicans who gave Obama "bi-partisan support. (Even though a larger group of Democrats defected their party to form a bi-partisan opposition).
After 100 days we find the nation pretty close to where Conservatives warned us we would be. We find a President who doesn't seem nearly as brilliant as his campaign team painted him. We find a Republican party weeding out the very people responsible for losses in 2006 and 2008. Specter didn't leave because the party changed, he left because he wouldn't be re-elected. The opportunists of the party who abandon principals and the constitution in favor of popularity and pork, will be expunged. The message of the Republican party will be clear in the coming months. And it's that message that will pave the road to overturning congress in 2010.
