THE EDITOR'S COLUMN: It's been quite a year since Obama's election (This guy nails Obozo)

TUESDAY is Election Day 2009. Already, it has been a year since Barack Obama rode the "hope and change" bandwagon to victory in the 2008 presidential election.
Today, we can look back over what Obama has brought to us in that year.
In Lorain, Obama has brought ... well, maybe that's not such a good example. Not much change here, but we can hope for more jobs and business, eventually.
Let's take a wider look at a checklist of big Obama & Company plans and their progress:
- "Get out of Iraq." Not yet.
- "Fight the real war in Afghanistan." Needs more study.
- "Close down Gitmo." Not yet.
- "Health care for all." Not yet; but so far they're up to 1,900 pages of baffle-gab proposals that would dictate about 3,000 things we "shall" (read that "must") do to follow those dance steps, whatever they are. Nobody is sure. Not to worry; they can move quickly since they've learned to approve laws without actually reading them.
- "Transparency in government." Sorry, they're all locked in a closed-door meeting. Check back someday.
- "Re-set" relations with Russia and charm the world. Had a whole row of Putin flunkies refuse to shake his hand. Then he dumped our allies' date with a missile defense in Eastern Europe to dance to Russia's tune, but Putin still won't respect him. Not to worry, dirt bag dictators are warming up to us, and the King of Saudi Arabia thinks of Obama every time he needs a president to bow before him. Most amazingly, Obama has made France look tougher than the United States. That's an achievement.
- Fix the mess "Bush made" of the economy Easy. Obama just borrowed an immense mountain of money and dumped it on top of Bush's spending molehill. Pretty soon Obama will have spent all the money anyone will lend us, then our dollars will be worthless and we'll all be carefree because who needs to worry about not having enough worthless money?
- Move America into a post-racial era. Easy. Now anyone who disagrees with Obama's ideas is a racist. No more guesswork. Just spot them; isolate them; destroy their reputations and livelihoods. He's a chip off the old Alinsky.
- "Stop global warming; save the environment" A work in progress, sort of, maybe. Poured out $3 billion or so in cash for clunkers. Doesn't the air smell much sweeter since then?
- Obama also has inspired millions of Americans to get worthwhile exercise by marching to Tea Parties.
- He and his friends have given the Second Amendment newfound respect. In the past year, millions of Americans have bought up firearms and ammunition at a blazing pace before some czar can stop them.
- All joking aside, Obama does have one huge achievement: He has won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Oh, wait. That's a joke, too.

Good summary for a start - am sure FReepers can add dozens more “achievements” from Zero so far.
Thank GOD a year is almost over - pray and work to see that he only gets 3 more to work his destruction (unless impeachment procedures can begin after the 2010 elections).

Superb article The loon is gaining disrespect even amongst the denizens of blue state Ohio.
I really, really want advance tickets to the trial of the Obamaloon - if we indeed give this idiot the benefit of a trial.

Lorain Ohio is the armpit of the nation.
If they are dissatisfied, Obama has real problems.

Looks like the Tony Shaloub character in the “Men in Black” movies.

Lorain (city and county) is very blue territory: many illegal as well as legal hispanic parasites and union thugs (employed and unemployed) predominate. For the editor to write the truth is an act of courage in this democrat hogwallow. The comments tell that tale pretty well.
But it illustrates the proposition that many Obama voters never expected to get the ream job they are getting now. Not that I give a sh*t for them, they bought it and now they get what they paid for--good and hard.
