President Barack Obama: Can We Take a Mulligan?

Too Bad We Can't Have Presidential Do-Overs

Candice Cain
"Yes we can!" was the mantra of President Barask Obama's Presidential Campaign. He promised change. He promised prosperity. He promised hope for the future.

After the first 100 days in office, President Barack Obama seems to be breaking all of his promises. Then again, his "Yes we can!" mantra still holds true. Let's take a look...

President Obama, can your administration drive the United States further into debt? Perhaps even a depression?

"Yes, we can!" During his first 100 days in office, President Obama has forked out over $700 billion in federal bailout money, not including the amounts given to companies in distress. Take a look at the Total Bailout Cost Chart as explained by PrisonPlanet.com. With paying the money, Obama feels that he can cap the amount of money that CEOs and other employees earn - including bonuses promised in their contracts before any bailout money was even requested, much less accepted. (*NOTE: I do not necessarily agree with the bonuses, but a contract is a contract. Why persecute the employee for accepting money that they were promised when they started their jobs in the first place? Salary caps are a Marxist theory, and belong nowhere in the United States of America.) Even though Obama keeps paying out money to AIG and other companies, he blames all of his actions on the previous Bush Administration.

President Obama, can you and your wife look like two fools dancing at the Presidential Inauguration?

"Yes, we can!" Barry and Michelle grooved and bumped during the Inauguration, as though they were at a house party. Okay, so they were at the White House party. That still doesn't mean that they should carry themselves like Kid n' Play, doing the bump to the music. Show some respect for appearances, for crying outloud. You're the President of the United States. Clap your hands, bob your head, whatever. Bump? With a teenager? Um, no. Inappropriate.

President Obama, are you able to focus on frivilous things to appear as though you care about the economy and environment at the same time?

"Yes, we can!" On his 58th day in office, President Obama announced a $2.4 billion competitive grant program to encourage car manufacturers to build electric cars. Of course, with the financial state of Ford, GMC and other heavy-hitters in the automotive world, the enticing offer seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Even the $7,500 tax credit to consumers that purchase electric vehicles didn't spark anything with the car manufacturers. On his 57th day, Barry released his predictions for the NCAA Basketball Tournament. At least bookies made some money that week.

President Obama, can you make the United States lose credibility in the eyes of other countries by hiring unqualified and/or unethical cabinet members?

"Yes, we can!" Many of the Obama Administration members have tawdry tax history, and have been forced to step down because of their past. Tom Daschle was appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services, and owed close to $140,000 in back taxes. Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner didn't pay Social Security Tax for several years. While Geithner has declared that he would like to resign, Obama insists that he will not accept his resignation. Other tax cheats include Hilda Solis (Labor Secretary) and Nancy Killefer, who withdrew her nomination to become the first chief performance officer for the federal government. As for unqualified, has anyone listened to the bumbling Press Secretary Robert Gibbs? Not only has thie buffoon insulted former Vice President Cheney and CNBC's Rick Santelli on live television, this bumbling Rush Limbaugh-wannabe can't seem to say a sentence without peppering it with "ums" and "uhs". Nice choice, Barry. Nice choice.

President Obama, is there any way to make you and your administration appear insentisive to mentally challenged people and handicapped people around the world?

"Yes, we can!" On Thursday, March 19th, President Obama appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. When talking about bowling at the White House, President Obama compared his bowling average (a 129) to the Special Olympics. How in the world can a President say something like that on international television? After all, Leno is syndicated in many countries around the world. He might as well have said, "My favorite movie is The Ringer, because retards make me laugh!" Talk about offensive. Even more mind boggling is the fact that the story didn't spread like wild fire. If a Republican Senator even said something remotely as stupid and offensive as this, his resignation would have been demanded.

President Obama, can you please give us a Mulligan so that we can do-over the 2008 Presidential Election?

"No. No, we can't."

    Thanks for the support, BA. I'm glad others are realizing what this man is doing to our country. Do you listen to Mark Levin? He brought up Marxism and Obama during the campaign.

    I never thought I'd hear the words "Marxist theory" applied to any act of my government, but, yeah, you're right.
