Obama Claim: Done More in 30 Days Than Other Presidents Economy Will Dominate Obama Speech Tonight By JAKE TAPPER and MARK MOONEY
Feb. 24, 2009 —
The Obama administration is going into tonight's pivotal speech to Congress with the belief that President Obama has accomplished more in the first 30 days in office than any modern president.
The president will give the nation a "sober assessment" about the status of the country's economy tonight as he assures Americans that there are "better days ahead," according to White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.
Obama will address a joint meeting of Congress tonight in a speech that will be shown live on national television, giving the president a chance to sketch out his agenda for the country after having authorized a massive $787 billion stimulus package as well as a $75 billionhomeowner bailout.
It will also allow the administration to brag a bit.
"President Obama has accomplished more in 30 days than any president in modern history," a senior White House official said today in a background briefing.

Yep - he has brought about more chaos and destruction of our institutions in those 30 days....
Exactly....Zero has done more DAMAGE in 30 days that other Presidents did in 30 months.
“Correct title: Obama Claim: Done More DAMAGE in 30 Days Than Other Presidents”
Corected correct title; Done DAMAGE to More in 30 Days Than Other Presidents
“President Obama has accomplished more in 30 days than any president in modern history,”
He is running a bit ahead of Jimmy Carter’s historical standard, no denying it....(eyes rolling)
His narcissism is on full display again. His head has gotten so big it at least makes his ears look small now.
“Obama Claim: Done More in 30 Days Than Other Presidents”
...DOOMED More in 30 Days Than Other Presidents.
He even insulted Billy Jeff Clintoon with that remark.
Right ... no other President had the market drop by more than 20% in the 30 days since their inauguration.
This black racist, Marxist, closet Muslim and Kenyan is in a hurry...
He must accomplish his goals of destruction before he is impeached for being ineligible to run or serve as President...
Can’t argue with this assessment.
Yep...the crash of the stock market is historic!
Whatever you want to say about George W., he didn't regularly compare himself to great Presidents or constantly claim such glories.
This guy has an incredibly swollen ego. Nauseating.
You’re reading my mind, there.
This jerk’s over-reaching hubris is going to spell the end of his disastrous administration, I’m convinced of it.
It may be decades before we truly realize the damage he's done in 30 days.
“He is running a bit ahead of Jimmy Carter’s historical standard, no denying it....(eyes rolling)”
“So far, 60 percent of Americans approve of the president’s handling of the economy, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll.”
Where did WaPo and Abissinia get these numbers? This is insane...
Three Executive Orders and a bill he didn’t even read before signing. Half his appointees didn’t pay income taxes and he took off for Valetine’s Day weekend less than a month on the job because his wife says so.
Did I hear Harry Reid say we should all be shovelling dirt to rebuild our economy?
I can’t decided whether to send him a tea bag or a bag of dirt.
These people speak as tho we are the idiots. Little do them know they are so totally out of touch with reality.
Ok, so now can he please take a LONG vacation - like for 4 more years???
That is the perfect objective measure of what Obama has done to our economy. It understates the damage, because it only includes economic damages, but it's sufficient to prove the point: Obama has already done exceptionally grave damage to the economy and to the entire United States of America.
Every president we’ve had in the past would have known not to do what 0 has done in the past 30 days. Bad decisions don’t take long to make, but they can take forever to correct.
President Clinton
Address to the Nation on the Economic Program
February 15, 1993
“And I’ve worked harder than I’ve ever worked in my life to meet that goal.”
That was exactly my thought before I clicked the link to read the thread.
That’s more like it.
And those insane lefties 4 years ago were just screaming about Civil Rights losses are now going on about taking civil rights away from better than half the population. That’s a scary thought.
He must accomplish his goals of destruction before he is impeached for being ineligible to run or serve as President...
That's my opinion about one of his primary motivations as "president."
If, by more, he means spent us into oblivion, brought about the beginning of the end for our nation, sold our children and grandchildren into indentured servitude, and showed the world that our leadership have no collective spine, then yes, he has certainly done more.
I’m sure he’s on his effin’ KNEES praying the stock market doesn’t go below 7000 before close. I don’t care how much the MSM tries to put this phoney over, America, more and more, is seeing him as an socialist, marxist ideologue who is giving away their money to others who don’t deserve it. They didn’t support the bailout, and they aren’t supporting the stimulus bill. This whole Mortgage bailout is actually making my “progressive” fans upset now.
His only base will be inner city welfare queens before this is over.
Yeah. Made great progress toward destroying the free market economy and making the country a communist dictatorship.
this man makes me roflmao and crying at the sametime....he is so full of himself...he hasn’t done squat except for help this economy go further done the crap hole.......
He ain’t wrong.
Today’s new Gallup poll puts him at 59%. Compare him to previous presidents one month in, such as G W Bush (62%), Jimmy Carter (71%), Bill Clinton (59%), George H. W. Bush (63%), and Richard Nixon (60%), and you’ll discover that all we’re seeing is the public withhold judgment.
Now compare his disapproval ratings (people who’ve already made up their minds they don’t like him), 25% to George W Bush (21%), George Bush (13%), Ronald Reagan (18%), Jimmy Carter (9%), and Richard Nixon (6%). The only one with a higher disapproval rating was President Clinton, on his way to losing both houses of Congress.
Obama has a particularly unattractive case of Mine’s Bigger Syndrome, constantly comparing his whanger to all the other boyz.
His advisers have given him the distinct impression that it’s an important presidential quality, and he believed them.
The other boyz are laughing him to scorn behind his back.
But if they’re not, I am.
He has done nothing of any value whatsoever. And he never will.
The public didn’t realize quite how incompetent Carter was til about six weeks AFTER the hostage crisis began.
A guy who spends his days napping at least wouldn’t be nationalizing all industries...
The kiddies are certainly in charge. It’s not how much you have “done”, it’s about results.
Probably in the community organizing world, doing a lot is enough to get paid and a pat on the back. In the real world, doing a lot and demonstrating poor results gets you fired.
Come back and brag when you have some decent results.
Nothing can make those ears look small or even normal. I get the impression he receives sonar.
I disagree. I think that Obama is trying to compare himself to other presidents because he has such low self esteem and self confidence that he must compare himself to giants such as the Republican Party founder and now Ronald Reagan.Has he not heard that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?
One of the most important symptoms of pathological narcissism (the Narcissistic Personality Disorder) is grandiosity. Grandiose fantasies (megalomaniac delusions of grandeur) permeate every aspect of the narcissist's personality. They are the reason that the narcissist feels entitled to special treatment which is typically incommensurate with his real accomplishments. The grandiosity gap is the abyss between the narcissist's self-image (as reified by his False Self) and reality.
Narcissistic delusions rarely persist in the face of blanket opposition and reams of evidence to the contrary. The narcissist usually tries to convert his social milieu to his point of view. He attempts to condition his nearest and dearest to positively reinforce his delusional False Self. But, if he fails, he modifies his profile on the fly. He "plays it by ear". His False Self is extemporaneous - a perpetual work of art, permanently reconstructed in a reiterative process designed around intricate and complex feedback loops.
Though the narcissistic personality is rigid - its content is always in flux. Narcissists forever re-invent themselves, adapt their consumption of narcissistic supply to the "marketplace", attuned to the needs of their "suppliers". Like the performers that they are, they resonate with their "audience", giving it what it expects and wants. They are efficient instruments for the extraction and consumption of human reactions.
As a result of this interminable process of fine tuning, narcissists have no loyalties, no values, no doctrines, no beliefs, no affiliations, and no convictions. Their only constraint is their addiction to human attention, positive or negative. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is insufficient grounds for claiming a "diminished capacity" (insanity) defense. Narcissists are never divorced from reality - they crave it, and need it, and consume it in order to maintain the precarious balance of their disorganized, borderline-psychotic personality. All narcissists, even the freakiest ones, can tell right from wrong, act with intent, and are in full control of their faculties and actions.
I know a few boyz in the hood that are wondering
how the hell he made it this far for sure.
They of course are not lefties.
If there was ever a statement by a politician that did not pass the SMELL TEST this is it. What a totally absurd comment. He is obviously a narcissist not to mention an idiot.
I heard this on the radio and bust into laughter. I guess they are using the same approach of telling a BIG lie often enough that people begin to believe it!
What total BS!
Name ONE THING he has accomplished???
Very interesting; where did you get these numbers?
What a nOOb, forever bragging to look good for the ‘hood.
It has been the longest 30 days ever.
Hubris!
Hey, the Dude has won the Spending trophy hands down along with the stock mkt crash record.
We have yet to see any positive results. Talk is cheap.
“The Obama administration is going into tonight’s pivotal speech to Congress with the belief that President Obama has accomplished more in the first 30 days in office than any modern president.”
Yes, he’s done more damage to this country than most politicians can manage in an entire career.
It’s hard for anyone to compete with Reagan getting the hostages released from Iran...the day he was sworn in!
