7 Days Down, 1454 to Go...
President Obama has finished his first week and has succeeded in having his approval rating fall 15 points.
Why?
1) Abortion--by lifting the ban on federal funding of groups that push abortions as one of his first acts, and on the same day as the Right to Life march in Washington, reminded people about his commitment to the destruction of life.
2) Along the same lines--embryonic stem cell research--by lifting the ban federal funding on this questionable line of research, he solidified his position of anti-life. (BTW, the ban was only on federal funding...privately funded research has been allowed over the last several years)
3) Suspending the military tribunals at GITMO--BAD POLICY, BAD IDEA!!!
4) Executive order to close GITMO--by moving on his long-held position on closing the detention center at Guantanamo without a clear plan on how to deal with the 250 people there who remain a threat to the United States showed he is more interested in ideology than in security. This happened on the same day that a former prisoner was identified as the leader of Al-Qadea in Yemen. What will happen when we allow more of these people out?
5) Allowing the States to set new clean air standards independent of the EPA--HEY, YOU!! YES, YOU IN OHIO AND YOU IN MICHIGAN!!! Do you hear the bells tolling...they toll for thee. Say goodbye to Chrystler and maybe to GM if this stands...
6) PORK--well, if nothing else, this proves he is not a Muslim! The pork-laden "stimulus" bill being debated on Capitol Hill...OMG!!!
At this rate, President Obama will be under 50% approval by the end of February! Keep it up, Barry!!!

Why do you call him Barry?
You seemed so smart - why do you bring that whole muslim falacy inot your blog?
Charles--
Humor, my fine sir. I have never supposed he was Muslim (unless you go by the patriarchal definition--if your father is, you are...just as if your mother is Jewish, you are by cultural definition).
Anywho...it was an attempt at humor since if I do not laugh at this whole thing, I might cry.
As for Barry, that was his name in college...all his friends called him that...it was a sarcstic attempt to virtually "high-five" the man. ;-)
