Greivances Against the First 100 Days

1. Tripling the projected national debt in two months: $9.3 trillion by 2010.

2. Bailing out the auto industry followed by firing Rick Wagner (the CEO of General Motors) while taking no action against the UAW whatsoever.

3. Giving AIG corporate executives million dollar bonuses after accepting the second highest amount of donations for his 2008 Presidential campaign and then subsequently doing the same for the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executives, but with even larger amounts of bonus money.

4. Failing to adopt the objectives of T. Boone Pickens' plan to move the country towards energy independence.

5. Allowing Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to empower the Treasury beyond the limits of the Constitution. This includes capping employee pay, direct modification of employer-employee contracts, and powers to seize companies of the private sector that he, "perceives to be a threat," to the economy.

6. Taking steps towards closing Guantanamo Bay for the mere purpose of international political gain, while having no real plan about what to do with the detainees after closing it.

7. Putting not one single person in charge of the economic recovery who has ever run a business, not even unsuccessfully. Here's the list: Barack Obama himself, Sen. Chris Dodd, Sec. Geithner, Rep. Charlie Ranlge, Rep. Barney Frank, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sn. Harry Reid. (It's probably a good idea for a referee to have played a sport before officiating it. You think?)

8. Spending time an energy on interviews to boost popularity rather than concentrating on the economy: The Tonight Show, 60 minutes, and two press conferences taking questions overwhelmingly from well-known softball tossers.

9. While visiting Europe, President Obama states a desire to create a nuclear free world while Iran aggressively pursues a nuclear weapon and North Korea launched a test rocket at the same moment during which he have the speech.

10. Shaking hands with Hugo Chavez with a big smile of enthusiasm on his face, hence creating a perception of America's approval of Chavez' dictatorial practices of confiscating Venezuela's oil industry, nationalizing the press and media, and executing people who speak unfavorably about him.

11. Providing $140 billion in bailout funds to General Electric, a company (Jeffrey Immelt, CEO and Chairman of General Electric) with whom the Obama administration is currently engaging in negotiations for managing all Cap and Trade money transactions, while GE also continues to to fund and pedal the grossly biased and hate spewing of MSNBC and undertook contract work with Iran while Iran supported insurgent activity in Iraq leading to the deaths and injuries to many brave American servicemen and servicewomen.

12. Releasing the Top Secret documents describing CIA interrogation techniques that lead to the interception of a terrorist attack upon Los Angeles.

Positives
1. Escalating troop levels within Afghanistan
2. Taking a new approach to relations with Cuba
