There's a lot listed in the link above but, the ones quoted below caught my eye...

57. Samantha Power, who resigned from the Obama campaign after calling Hillary Rodham Clinton a "monster," was hired to a position on the National Security Council.

Well, Hillary IS a monster. I don't see a problem there.

69. "The Justice Department is asking the Supreme Court to overrule Michigan v. Jackson, the 1986 Supreme Court decision that held that if police may not interrogate a defendant after the right to counsel has attached, if the defendant has a lawyer or has requested a lawyer. This isn't the first time the Justice Department, under President Obama, has sought to limit defendants' rights." -- TalkLeft blog

Wait a cotton-pickin' minute! What is this shit?! A Democrat who's also a Constitutional Law Professor wants to take away my rights?

73. "President Obama's plan to require private insurance carriers to reimburse the Department of Veterans Affairs for the treatment of troops injured in service has infuriated veterans groups who say the government is morally obligated to pay for service-related medical care." -- Fox News, 3/17

For once, I think most people will actually believe that Fox News is telling the truth here.

80. Forced banks that didn't want TARP money to take it, then added on stipulations about pay and government control after the fact. Secretly forced Bank of America to buy Merrill Lynch, then allowed the bank to be criticized for overpaying.

Hmmm, maybe we would have been better off with Hillary after all... Or not...

83. "In America, there is a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive." -- Obama in Strasbourg, France

And with good reason. Europe's 'leadership' of the world led to World War I, World War II, the Cold War and the current lines on the map of the Middle East. Their Leadership has failed. Doing things their way will only lead to us repeating their mistakes. We've already made enough of our own. We don't need to act like complete retards by not learning from history.

You can always quibble over mistakes, no president is without them, but sorry the general consensus is this is one of the best 100 days in a long time. For the first time in many years, more people believe we are on the right track than not, and Obama's popularity rating is relatively high.

From the Washington Post:

We surveyed an assortment of presidential historians, who arrived at the same conclusion: President Obama, in both the scope of his legislative achievements and the groundwork he has set for future policy changes, has done more in his first 100 days in the White House than any commander in chief since Franklin D. Roosevelt, who entered office in 1933 amid the throes of the nation's last major economic upheaval. Here are selected quotations from historians and other observers...

Yes, the moratorium on political Threads is still in effect. Especially ones that are clearly intended to be inflammatory. Try TNZ.
