Obama's Presidential honeymoon first half

Well we're finally at the halfway point of "The Messiah Obama's" 100 day Presidential Honeymoon period, day 50 for those of you who can't add or subtract, LOL! My grandson asked me the other day what a Presidential Honeymoon period was for, and the best answer I could give him was found on Answers.com, which sez; "The Presidential 'honeymoon' is the short period after a President is inaugurated when the opposition party refrains from attack, Congress is inclined to support some of the President's initiatives, and the President receives high public approval ratings. Within a month or two partisan attacks generally resume and the honeymoon period ends."

Now lets put Obama's first 50 days in proper perspective to him being suseptible to attack from his opposition party. When a President initiates Government takeovers of major banks, select major manufacturing companies, ie.; the AutoMakers "Big 3", which in turn causes Wall Street stocks to tumble 25 to 27 %, or from 8900 points down to 6600 points in his 1st 50 days, do you think his opposition party should refrain from attacking him , or his initiatives? How about when three out of four, (Treasury Secretary Timothy Gaithner was confirmed despite owing $23,000 in back taxes) of his picks for key Cabinet Posts are forced to withdraw from confirmation hearings because of not paying their taxes, all of which should have been caught during the Vetting process of each appointee's background, do you think his opposition party should refrain from attacking him ?

Our fledgling President who liken's himself to President Abraham Lincoln (due simply because both were from Illinois) has overturned nearly everything him and his advisors can think of that his predecessor, George W. Bush initiated while in Office. Obama has signed into law spending bills disquised as "stimulus" that raises the budget deficit to a record $3.7 Trillion Dollars by 2010... thats next year folks? His Democratically controlled Sentate is debating another $410 Billion Dollar "Omnibus" bill designed to keep the country running, but which is full of "earmarks" Obama promised American's he would veto. Well, in it's present form, Obama has 8570 earmarks to veto!

Not all of those are Democrat earmarks, There are some pretty well known Republican Senators involved in the earmarks too... Senators such as Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., Kit Bond, R-Mo., Thad Cochran, R-Miss., Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and even a former Republican Senator... Pete Domenici, R-NM! ...Of course, while I'm naming names I ought to include the Democrat's too, don't you think? Sen. Robert Byrd, D-WVa., Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Tom Harkin, D-Ia., Daniel Inouye, D-Hi., Patty Murray, D-Wa., Byron Dorgan, D-ND., Pat Leahy, D-Vt., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Bob Casey, D-Pa., Harry Reid, D-Nv., Herb Kohl, D-Wisc., Chuck Schumer, D-NY.

That isn't the full list, just the top 20 earmarking Senators. When the Democrats finally get the 60 votes required to pass this fiasco, and if "The Messiah Obama" signs it into law with all 8570 earmarks still in place, then his "honeymoon" should end early... This Man, and his Democratically controlled Congress are out to bankrupt this country, and make all of us dependent on Big Government. Wait until Obama-Peloisi-Reid overhaul our Health Insurance!!!
