Barack Obama – The Greatest President EVER?

Obama-greatest-ever

April 29 marks Barack Obama’s 100th day as President. Will it be a “Hallmark Holiday?”

The “100 days” concept has had mythical status since the days of the New Deal, when Franklin D. Roosevelt made history with a blizzard of bold federal actions. And reporters have been addicted to stories around this milestone in every administration since.

White House senior adviser David Axelrod calls the 100th day a “Hallmark holiday,” an essentially artificial event with no genuine significance. But he and his colleagues also know the reality: The early-verdict stories are going to be written, creating both a challenge and opportunity for the new president.

So senior White House aides are playing the game with relish, doling out made-to-order anecdotes and what-it-means analytical insights to help reporters write their 100 days pieces. You can already see the results in a spate of stories that — thanks to competitive pressures — editors are deciding to publish before the actual 100th day.

The permanent Obama campaign is ALREADY spinning “The One’s” accomplishments. Let’s see what is noteworthy to Flap:

  • Obama has increased the size and role of the federal government
  • Obama has increased taxes and will increase them more
  • Obama has markedly increased domestic government spending, while cutting Defense Department expenditures, including national missile defense
  • Obama has blamed Bush for the domestic economy and foreign policy mistakes that he needs to apologize for.

NBC News may herald the “100 Days of Obama” as the greatest but so far the man has not delivered much but the same old left-wing weak on defense and tax and spend policies.

Exit Answer: The Greatest President EVER?

NO – Not even close.

    They must be polling only people that they know think like they do! I think that the only “change” isn’t really a change at all! Democrats taking our taxes and giving them to people that don’t deserve it! Illegal aliens and big corporations bosses that were idiots and that bet their businesses and lost. Obama’s cabinet can’t manage their own finances let alone ours.
    I can’t wait for the Cap and Trade to be passed so that Gas, natural gas and electricity all goes up by 30% to 50% and all these idiots that voted for him will start whining and I, since I didn’t vote for him can say you wanted him and now you got him! I can’t imagine that the Republicans that switched sides will vote for him again! I also can’t image the Democrats keeping their majority after that either. Without the crossover vote it will bye, bye Obama!

    On the 29th Barack Obama will celebrate his historical 100th day in office and according to his track record he has done moe in his 100 days than ANY and all 43 other presidents especially FDR the ONLY presdient he can really be compared to because their is no other presdient that has exemplified confidence to bring up such a depressed economy. So all y’all who dont believe can read a damn book because your dumb. First of all he is trying to build the country’s integrity becasue YES George Bush fUCKED that up for us espeially on an international level. Him and his corrupted officials have captured and killed and tortured so many innocent individuals in Guantanamo and I think its very smart to release the prisoners from there becasue HELLO its one of the reasons we BROKE AS HELL. Also bringing home the troops from Iraq is another economically sound decision because we are wasting time and money (Billions of dollars) there as well. Our primary reason to go their was supposedly over oil and now that we know they dont have any WTF are we doing. Also his stimulus package and strengthening of the middle class is going to bring u our capital with time. All you idiots who dont believe in him are racist because he aint been in office for 100 days and people cant even come uo with reasons why they dont like him because they dont watch the news and they dont know shit so sit back and watch Obama work his magic.

    What do you expect from him. He came into office after Bush who created a huge mess. President Obama has done what he can so far he only has so much power, you people expect for him to be Superman or something. I dont like to pull the race card but i must in this situation. George Bush had eight years to mess up the United States, President Obama has only been in office a year and some months almost to years if im not mistaking. All i want is for people to give the president a full term and then say if our president is good.
