Obama....

I wasn't thrilled when he won but I'm trying to keep a positive attitude since negativity never accomplished anything.

But, considering two of his first few actions as President, I'm not too enthralled.

1. Calling Mahmoud Abbas as your first phone call to any foreign leader.

This is a fucking joke. No matter how you feel about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict it is beyond contention that the PLO/Hamas/Hezbollah target women and children in their attacks and their charter's first paragraph calls for the destruction of Israel. Bush understood it was democracy (Israel) against those who kill women for being daring enough to go to school. That Obama made this his first call is an abomination!

2. Signing an excutive order that will lead to the closing of Guantanamo Bay.

Do people fucking realize these people would cut your mother's tits off and feed them to you without thinking twice!?!?!?!? They won't care that you were "nice" to them and gave them Due Process. To them, you are an infidel, nothing more. Some of those who have been released have killed again! Either keep the prison camp open indefinitely or execute them and then close the base.

Look, how about in your first few days helping out some goddamn American citizens for Christ's sake! How about lowering our tax rates permanently so that we can begin to move the economy again! How about leading the effort to increase our use of Nuclear Energy and how about not nominating someone for Treasury Secretary who FUCKING didn't pay his own taxes.

Shit.


UPDATE:

What did I tell you..
