The world watched as Barack Hussein Obama stepped onto the stage and accepted the ceremonial crown as leader of the free world. Collectively we held our breath.
His arrival was preceeded by incredible anticipation, the job ahead of him described as beyond human conquest, his ability described as more than enough for the task at hand.
One month later the spin has spun out. Obama's unpreparedness has been revealed. The people of the world are beginning to realize that our vulnerabilities have been exposed; We yearn for inspired leadership and trust too much. We are good and decent people and in today's world that makes us easy pickin's.
Almost universally the world reaction to Obama's presidency demostrates a total lack of confidence in him. Smiles and power cannot overcome the vomit rolling up in the mouths of people who watch as his plans and proposals frighten at best, and sicken at worst, those who know for certain that he is pursuing failure.
His first month in office has now been measured. It is the worst since 1933.
Yes, it was the worst month since 1933 - but it's George W(orst president in American history) Bush who delivered that statistic to America. The Republican Party, the failed Bush Administration and their policies make this Great Depression II a wholly owned Republican event. Heckuva job.

To think that the first new industry spawned by the stimulus bills (GWB's effort & the more recent Obama plan) is a cottage industry dealing in won't-work, wasn't our idea, isn't enough, it's too much, and equally unproductive hipshot lipsmack.
You of the negative persuasion are what is choking the puke out of this great country!
