Let's see:

Deficit: Growing at a rate even George W. Bush would vomit over.

Inflation: Insane. What can't be borrowed is simply being printed. Check out the prices of Gold, Pounds Sterling, and Euros. See how the three relate. Then get to a sink, 'cause you're gonna want to puke.

Wars: Still ongoing.

Gitmo: Still open.

USA PATRIOT Act: Still there.

Economy: Gasping for breath.

Transparency: What transparency? Just for the illiterate, "transparency" means you don't get to hold "negotiations" on a bill in the middle of the night while only inviting those who agree with you.

Bipartisanship: You mean aside from continuing all the worst policies of the Bush Regime? I'll take less bipartisan warmongering and more bipartisan legislative action, if you please.

Honesty: Two words, Barry; "Nebraska" and "Louisiana."

Openess: Because having SEIU leg-breakers enforce Newthink at "town hall meetings" is a really open way to conduct government business...

Banking: Let's see, the banks which nearly bankrupted the country have not only been bailed out, but are now being exempted from fees and charges leveled against those banks which -DIDN'T- provoke the near-collapse of the American economy. Fuck up and get rewarded, play it straight and get the shaft.

Taxes: Well, if you don't -call- it a tax...call it a "fee" or a "surcharge" instead, then it isn't a tax!...unless you're the poor schlub who gets stuck picking up the tab.

Obama, one year on? If we're lucky he'll be voted out in 2012 and become a quickly-forgotten one-term-wonder like Millard Filmore or Benjamin Harrison, soon lost in the mercifully dim mists of time and memory. If things keep going they way they have, he'll end up like Jimmy Carter; voted out after one term of making fools of his constituents. However, given that Mr. Bush was elected twice, something tells me that the American electorate might just be dumb enough to elect this nonce a second time. They'll apparently vote for anybody. At worst, Mr. Obama's policies will piss some fruitbat off badly enough to take a shot at him. As much as I detest Mr. Obama, an assassination attempt (let alone a successful one) is my worst nightmare. Then the rotten little slime gets to be a martyr, and his collectivist cohorts will control every house of government for the next fifty years.
