The last 100 days have gone by quickly. Everyone else is grading the prez so so I am going to jump on the boat and do it, too! I will start with the good:
- You, your wife and kids are a good example what a family should be.
- You engage the public, attempt to maintain communication.
- You’re a good example of health and fitness (eh, except for the smoking).
- You made a good decision on handling the pirates, even though you never came out with a strong statement.
I’ll leave it at that. The media will add a bunch of other stuff to that list and it all may seem good on the surface, but it will be political smoke and mirrors. Also, a lot of what they will add will result in greater national debt (with no real return for our money), a back-breaking tax burden for future generations and money being siphoned off to where it was never intended to go. On with the bad:
- What happened to transparency? Why were we not able to view bills before they were voted on?
- The outlandish, inexcusable stimulus packages which in no way have come to benefit the people, only your financiers.
- Your choices for your cabinet that had to bail on you. What in the world was going on there?
- Cronyism was supposed to end. Nope.
- Wow, you upheld the warrantless wiretapping stuff that the previous administration championed.
- What happened to bipartisanship?
I’ll leave it at that. Don’t want to nag too much at once. I give you a C- for an overall grade.
