Barack's 100 Days Scorecard?

Judging any President on his first 100 days in office is more about political spin than reality. That's because much of what that President does within this limited time frame won't bear any fruit or won't have any bad effects for many more months or even years to come.

If you listen to the pundits on the left, Obama is getting glowing marks on his performance. He gets everything from an A or A- rating to the completely illogical concept that he is the best President in the history of this country. I remember similar comments being said about Jimmy Carter in his first couple of months in office. However, his one-term and out, told the real story.

The people on the left -- those totally falling all over Barack --- love the fact that Obama has rescinded the "Mexico City Policy" and has been able proliferate U.S. sponsored abortion throughout the world. They like his uninhibited position on Stem Cell research. His spending and budget is all that they would want it to be; although some would actually want more government involved in our lives. The left especially likes the future punishment of Wall Street, business, and the wealthy with the higher taxes that are to come. Saving the planet? Well, Obama is their man on that front. The only sore spot with those on the true left is why we're still in Iraq and Afghanistan. Oh, let's not forget about Barack's kissing up to dictators. You gotta know that kissing dictators is all the rage in the lefty circles. Just ask Sean Penn and his friends!

But, being a good President shouldn't be based on good teleprompter speeches and the ability to play basketball and look cool; or, even, how nice his family looks. Being a good President all comes down to results; and, for Obama, all I see are the initial bricks being laid down on a road that is going in the wrong direction. That's why a lot of people on the right see him as a potentially failing President. This blog has certainly outlined many of those "bricks" that could have disastrous effects in the future.

Only time will judge Obama. I and others on the right could all be wrong about him. But, certainly, what he does will determine whether or not he will be judged as being a good, bad, or mediocre president. Certainly, one test will be if he is able to maintain his majority in Congress. However, that's still a long way off.

I think by the end of this year we will have a better understanding of how America really feels about this new Prez. Until then, he's pretty much being promoted by a media that is nearly orgasmic about this guy and pushing Americans, through all their hype, to give him a high favorable rating. But, if job losses continue to rise, and if the economy gets worse, or if we have difficulties on the international stage, believe me, the media will turn on Obama.
