100 Day Of Arrogance

If I had to choose a single word to describe the First 100 Days of the Obama Presidency, I would easily choose the word arrogance! From day one, Obama's arrogance was on full display.

The Inaugural was the first sign. We have a president, who at his victory speech on election night told us that we would have to make sacrifices in order to see the bright sunny day of Hope and Change. Yet, when Inauguration Day came, no expense was spared! It did not stop there either, for the first month all we heard was crisis, crisis, crisis, we are on the brink of depression, OMG the sky is falling, the economy is in the crapper, we must all gird our loins and hunker down for the worst. Mean while it is endless trips on Air Force Once, fancy parties and Wagyu steaks at the White House. No leading by example for Lord Obama, all that sacrifice jazz was for the little peeps.

Speaking of the little peeps, let us not forget the arrogant disdain shown towards the unwashed masses. We got an early taste of it during his campaign with that two faced bitter clingger remark. Even today, on his 100th day in office, he arrogantly dismissed 250,000 of the little peeps who dared show disapproval of his outrageous spending.

Lord Obama's arrogance, isn't just heaped on the little peeps. He dishes it out every time he tries his "I Won" bipartisanship. He uses gullible Republicans for photo ops, then kicks them in the teeth by rejecting any and all of their concerns or ideas with a very arrogant "we're doing it my way because I Won"!

Oh and lets not forget the arrogance of his meaningless speeches. Obama will read one thing off the teleprompter and then immediately do the opposite. How many times has he read to us that he is not for big government and then it is spend, spend, spend. He reads to us that he is going to go through the budget line by line and then chips off a measly $100,000,000 from his outrageous $3 TRILLION budget. He is so arrogant, he doesn't even seem to care about the blatant hypocrisy of it all. It is just like, listen to what I read to you and don't you dare question what I am actually doing.

Obama's arrogance isn't just unique to him, he surrounded himself arrogant underlings too. Watch the Sunday morning news shows when his underlings are on. They dismiss capitalism like yesterday's news, meanwhile none of them were big successes in the private sector. They speak of the Republican party like it is vanquished forever, simply because they say so.

In my entire 44 years, I have never know an arrogant person who did not get their comeuppance sooner or later. With Obama, I am certain his comeuppance is going to come in the form of a foreign affairs blunder. This is because, the rest of the world is under no obligation to put up with any of his arrogant BS.

As nice as it would be to see Obama's arrogance get taken down a peg or two by some foreign leader, the fate of this great nation is tied him for the next four years.

UPDATED: Palin calls out Obama on his phony bipartisanship. NOT!!!

UPDATED

Well it appears the words below were not writed by Governor Palin! The piece was writed by conservative writer Meghan Clyne! You can read about the mix up at Conservatives4Palin. I don't feel too bad about running this piece in my blog, because I was not the only one who fell for the mistake, Ben Smith at Politico and Hot Air also fell for it too. Regardless of the author (though I would have loved for it to have been Palin), the facts still ring true.

To me this crazy mix up, is just further proof that US newspapers need to go the way of the dinosaurs. For a good read on US newspapers, check out Left Coast Rebel's blog here.

The New York Post has a piece up today called 100 Days, 100 Mistakes, detailing the mistakes of the Obama Administration. Mistake number 17 is penned by none other than Governor Sarah Palin. I copied it below and added emphasis to my favorite part.

The Governor, has been under constant attack back in Alaska after the election and she is still standing. From her piece below, clearly Sarah Palin can dish it out as well. I cannot help but wonder how different the 2008 campaign would have turned out had the ticket read Palin/McCain instead.

17. SARAH PALIN ON: "I WON" AND THE DEATH OF BIPARTISANSHIP

Obama soared to victory on the hopeful promise of a new era of bipartisanship. During his inaugural address he even promised an 'end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.'

Too bad it took all of three days for the promise to ring hollow.

Start with Obama's big meeting with top congressional leaders on his signature legislation -- the stimulus -- on the Friday after his inauguration. Listening to Republican concerns about overspending was a nice gesture -- until he shut down any hopes of real dialogue by crassly telling Republican leaders: 'I won.' Even the White House's leaking of the comment was a slap at the Republican leadership, who'd expected Obama to adhere to the custom of keeping private meetings with congressional leadership, well, private.

It's only gone downhill from there. The stimulus included zero Republican recommendations, and failed to get a single House Republican vote.

It's not just the tactic of using Republicans for bipartisan photo-ops, and then cutting them loose before partisan decisions, that irks Obama's opponents. The new president wasted no time rushing forward with policies and legislation guaranteed to drive Republicans nuts. The first bill he signed into law was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act -- a partisan hot-button that drew all of eight Republican supporters in the entire Congress. Then there was the swift reversal of Bush policies on abortion and embryonic-stem-cell research -- issues dear to the Republican base.

And when Obama and the Democrats in Congress took up SCHIP -- the children's health-insurance bill that Republicans say vastly expands government's role in health care -- they had an easy chance for real bipartisanship. After all, the bill had been hashed out in the previous Congress, and a bipartisan accord was reached before President Bush responded with a veto. Did the Obama team push for the compromise version in the 111th Congress? Nope. They went back to the drawing board, ramming through the Democrats' dream version.

Of course, the lack of bipartisanship isn't limited to Capitol Hill. Obama has taken gratuitous swipes at the Republicans who recently decamped Washington, blaming President Bush for everything from the economy and the war to the lack of sufficient puppies and rainbows. And who could forget the Rush Limbaugh flap -- in which Obama's top advisers, including chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, orchestrated a public relations campaign meant to undermine the Republican National Committee chairman, Michael Steele, by framing talk-radio personality Limbaugh as the real head of the Republican Party.

For now, Obama's back-pedal on the bipartisanship promise just makes him look insincere. But the real consequences of the mistake will be felt soon enough. As Presidents Bush and Clinton could tell him, congressional majorities do change -- and at some point, Obama will need Republicans on his side. He'd be smart to spend his second 100 days making up for the serious snubs of his first."
