Screw Up Count

I guess we should start an Obama screw up count for screw ups made while president. So far:

* Saying Oath of Office.

Let’s keep adding to this as we see them.

  1. #3 2keys –

    Yep. He totally fubar’d that one. Did nothing to dispel the rumors that he is a puppet dancing to somebody else’s tune.
    Then today he hired two advisors who are lobbyists – just one day after firmly stating that there’d be no lobbyists in his admin.

    I’d say he’s up to strike three.

  2. Not slapping Michelle before he sent her back to change clothes after the parade. This accompanied by “I’m President now Biatch – go dress for yo’ man or I’ll have Poindexter (pointing to his Secret Service Agent) put a cap in yo’ ass”!

  3. Do we need a separate list for Bidenisms? (you just know they’re coming – he can’t keep his mouth shut forever although I and many others would like to see him try)

    Do any of the Corruptocrat appointments he’s made count as screw-ups? I would say no – he should start with a clean slate when he placed his hand on the bible and raised his right hand. But anything after that is fair game.

  4. Choosing Castro’s lawyer as his own WH Counsel: Greg Craig.

    Greg Craig was the lawyer hired by Castro and Elian’s father to argue for the state sanctioned abduction of Elian and deportation to Cuba.

    Pretty brazen choice, but then so is Holder for his terrorist pardons and his Marc Rich pardons.

    Dumbo should at least have the sagacity to pretend he is working for us.

  5. Quoting from the inauguration speech:
    “Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath.”

    Only forty-three Americans have taken the oath. This will be the forty-fourth administration, but for some reason, Grover Cleveland counts as two of the administrations because his two terms were split.

  6. Causing George Stephanapolis to cry like the little sissy school girl wimpy prick that he is after the Inauguration. How is this Obama’s fault? He should have called the little dill weed and told him that he HOPES he’s going to Man Up and do his fricking job for a CHANGE!

  7. “Causing George Stephanapolis to cry like the little sissy school girl…”

    Hey! Give the guy a break, ussjc. He was edumacated under Bill Clinton who loses it on women’s dresses. So, yes, he cries a lot – you would too if you had witnessed that.

  8. * Destroying the Constitution Part 1: Not being a native-born American; that alone disqualifies him for the job

    * Putting the guys who got rich from Fannie and Freddie, before destroying it, among his close advisors/Cabinet members. Ditto for racist pastors, felonious real estate brokers, and unrepentant domestic terrorists.

    * Not being proud of America/being American until they elect an inexperienced Kenyan-born socialistic string bean to the highest office in the land

    * Choosing a Cat for First Dog *snort* I personally like both species, but can’t a Harvard grad tell the difference between canine and feline?

    * Putting Her Thighness as Secretary of State instead of Veep. On the other hand, that could be considered an accomplishment, since 4 people are harder to VinceFoster than 1.

    #9 re-Bidenisms: Didnt Jill already flub up something that Joe had to smack her down? I thought I remembered reading that headline somewhere but didn’t follow up with the details.

    #15: GMTA

  9. When I mentioned disposing of the detainees today, I was confusing releasing all of the upstanding people of color held at Guantanamo with the camps for Republicans and other ne’er-do-wells (i.e. crackers) that will be set up in an executive order tomorrow. I apologize for any confusion regarding who will be disposed of.

    Thanks,

    Barry

  10. Not having a policy on where to send the prisoners at Gitmo and overseas once they close the prisons, or even how to conduct trials. I guess there’s a perfectly good ocean there. They could always deal with them in accord with the Geneva Conventions – non-uniformed combatants can be executed without trial.

    Appointing an education secretary who cannot speak proper English.

    Dunlap of Red State Update made a specific comment that Obama may be “just f–king with us” on the gay issue, but he may have unintentionally made a broader, more accurate point. WHY would you appoint people with clear, blatant gaffs in their backgrounds like not paying taxes as Treasury Secretary? It’s as if he’s deliberately putting the worst people possible in these positions just showing off that he can do so.

    Republicans may have a hidden agenda in allowing these appointments on the assumption that the less qualified the cabinet, the more likely this will be a one term president.

    That said, I’m half wondering, or more than half, if the socialist wing of the democratic party has been deliberately destroying the banking industry for the purpose of destroying the economy. We’ve always said and they’ve often proven they hate the United States. Should we really be shocked that the “Death To America” crowd in Al Qaeda, or Iran, or for that matter California take measures to make that happen? We ignored the first and got 9/11, are ignoring the second and will get a nuclear Iran, and are rolling over and playing dead for the third for the next four years.

  11. To Kent: You only wonder if the socialist Demoncrats are trying to destroy the banking industry? I thought it was obvious that they were destroying the banking industry to take it over (They told the banks that the government would be allowed to buy majority stock in bailed out banks) so that they really could control the money and more easily control the people.

  12. How about NOT going to the Salute to Heroes inaugural ball, where 48 Medal of Honor winners spanning WWII to IRAQ were waiting to say Hey.

    A ball that was initiated by President Eisenhower and has been attended by every president up to but NOT including the Teleprompter Jesus – Barak Hussein Obama.

    Seriously, being CinC and not showing for a Medal of Honor recipient only Ball. Jesus.

    hwy93 😉 I noticed that too. No bible for Numba Two !

  13. Its good to know that all the conservatives who chided liberals for being disrespectful of the office of the president are exactly as hypocritical as I thought you would be. It feels so good to be right.

  14. Aw, you know we’re never going to be able to count that high.

    And yeah, it’s good to see conservatives who claimed that a man who deserved respect didn’t get it should now be able to be honest about a man who is getting respect without deserving it.

  15. Mean Old Man. Yes, exactly. No argument. Just noticing No Bible for Numba 2.

    Maggie. There is justified disrespect and there is unjustified disrespect. Ask yourself if you were the new CinC; would you make it a point to at least stop in on 48 Medal of Honor winners? Hell, I’d PAY MONEY to stop in on those people and shoot it for a while.. These are people who by all rights should have died in service to the USA and no doubt in the course of saving some number of others on the battlefield by executing an incredible amount of bravery with no regard for their own lives.

    And you are now in command of the Military, YOU can send these people in harms way on a moments notice for any reason, and you SNUB these people ? Put that in a business context since you probably can’t relate militarily; …the CEO comes through and you are one of the people who worked at maximum (weekends and all) to see to it that your company was profitable last quarter, and the CEO doesn’t even bother to breeze by your cube and say hey.

  16. Apparently the press is not allowed to ask substantive questions of the KING, and they all seem to be ok with that. Apparently His Royal Hubris paid the press core a visit and got upset because they tried to ask him how come he wants to put a lobbyist on the payroll.

    Welcome my friends to the show that never ends…….

  17. Actually Maggie, you and your fellow libs disrespecting a republican president for eight years, then expecting your liberal electee to be given the respect you could never muster would be the absolute definition of hypocritical.

  18. My gas tank is less than half full and my mortgage is late. HE’S A LIAR!

    *Skipping the Medal of Honor Ball

    *Issuing the expected executive order about Gitmo, putting it off a whole year so his sycophants will forget and he won’t have to do it.

    *Bitching about Bush’s abuse of power through executive order, then signing a bunch of executive orders.

    *Publicizing sensitive and possibly security-damaging documents to trash the Bush administration (precursor to indictments?)

    *Backing off every campaign promise on election night before polls were closed.

    *Having such idiotic followers.

    Ok I’m sorry, that’s not technically the list you were looking for. But it’s still true.

  19. Oops, thanks Eros; I forgot about Reich and Rangel’s racist “no help for white guys” and “the middle class is so busy working they won’t notice and we won’t have to worry about ripping them off” thing. I’ll notice. I’ll be the one burning effigies in the streets.

  20. #37 Maggie says: Its good to know that all the conservatives who chided liberals for being disrespectful of the office of the president are exactly as hypocritical as I thought you would be.

    We’re not disrespectful of the office of the president. We’re disrespectful of the man who currently occupies it, for good reasons if you’ll only put down the koolaid and open your mind.

    Besides, for 8 years your side it was our patriotic duty as citizens to hold the president accountable. I guess when it’s YOUR candidate in the WH, that no longer applies eh?

    Please remove the 2×4 from your own eyes before criticizing the sliver in ours; it makes you look ridiculous.

  21. #37 Maggie says: “Its good to know that all the conservatives who chided liberals for being disrespectful of the office of the president are exactly as hypocritical as I thought you would be.”

    We’re not being hypocritical at all. Being hypocritical is saying one thing and doing another. I never said I’d respect the man. Emphasis on the man. The only respect he’s going to get from me is the respect afforded him by virtue of his office like NuyaB said. That includes NOT booing him when he loses his job in 4 years, if not sooner.

  22. Wait, wait, wait! I thought dissent is patriotic? Am I wrong? Silly me the rules changed and I didn’t know it.

    Also, who was the dude in the gold dress walking with His Highness in the parade?

  23. Only 3 days in now. We’re gonna need lots more bandwidth for this thread to cover 4 years. Just sayin.

    #43, Son of Bob, you need to post here more often. That’s what I was trying to say but you said it better and succincter, as usual.

  24. Several posters have touched on this issue but heck I’ll wade right on in, I’m a gun and God clinging right wing fanatic. I am giving this new president the exact same amount of respect you (Maggie) liberals gave president Bush starting his first day in office. There is a very old saying “What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander”. In liberal speak, what goes around comes around. It’s also called Karma, you should be familiar with that.

    If not your liberal mantra must be slipping, time to scurry on back to the commune and get re-educated. After all you wouldn’t want reality to rise up and kiss you on the nosey, or you’d be as PO’d as Jacques “Poodle”.

  25. So sorry for the double post but Stupid thing day 3. O’vomit told Republican leaders not to listen to “Rush Limbaugh”. I would think it would be much better to ignore him, instead of calling attention to the fact that many mainstream Republicans not only listen to Mr. Limbaugh but respect his democratic right to express his opinion. Of course the “messiah has already come down on the socialistic side of government anyway, with his outlandish ideas of what is transparency in government but still.

    Got news for you, Your Royal Hind-endedness, I will listen to whom I CHOOSE, I will believe what I choose to believe, I will worship as I see fit and you sir can take you consensus and place under the rock from whence you seeped.

    I have absolutely NOTHING in common with Demoncrats. The only way for me to agree with a member of that party is for them to be on fire…. I will then agree that it is somewhat warm where they are. All that Global Warming you know.

  26. #56 – agree.

    Does any sane person really believe a word that comes out of the mouths of liberals? For the new man in the office, its all about consolidation of power. Eliminate all resistance from within his party and the right while running the propaganda machine to brainwash the masses. I think that is what he meant by the term “transparancy” in government.

    Hypocrisy is the Vaseline of social intercourse you know.

  27. The Messiah’s screwups should be its own site. Then in 4 or 8 or infinity years, when his reign finally ends, we can look back and get an easy tally.

    If someone’s really into taking that up, have at it. I’ll toss out another idea that blatantly rips off “Stuff White People Like,” and “Stuff Christians Like,” and that’s “Stuff That Liberals Hate,”

    Like the Constitution, babies, veterans, people who are happy, etc, etc.

  28. I’m afraid #60 that a site like that could turn into a full time job and most of us have to work in this economy but someone say, retired from the military or anything else might be able to take it on. They could call it O NO or something funnier and pithier than that. They could have special features like Pelosi’s Pot Shots or Reid’s Regurgitations.

    It’s an idea who’s time has certainly come.

  29. Oops, sorry, I saw the door/window thing from this site, not Hot Air. So, Hat Tip: Frank.

    Nonetheless, I think it’s still worth noting in the list of his screw ups. *sigh*…it’s gonna be a long 4 years…
