Obama’s bad week

The week’s a little more than halfway over, and let’s see what our illustrious Genius In Chief has had to endure, shall we?  Te recap:

He doesn’t know his own Secretary of Defense’s name.  We know, we know…you inherited him from Bush.

He’s fighting with his own party to close Gitmo.  For some really weird reason, a lot of people don’t think it’s a good idea to close a terrorist Alcatraz and bring bloodthirsty jihadist camelhumpers to America where they might try to blow up NY synagogues.  Go figure.  Especially when 1 in 7 freed Gitmo detainees return to terrorism (the administration was trying to keep that factoid on the “down-low”, so as not to undermine his stupid, heavy-on-emotion-but-light-on-fact case for closing Gitmo unduly alarming anyone).

Jobless claims are on the rise at a record pace.  Oil prices are up.  The CBO says unemployment will keep going up through next year.  We’ve quadrupled our deficit from last year.  The dollar is teetering on collapse.  Yet the MSM tries to sell us on how the economy has turned around?

The Gilded One has been caught in a lie about the “transparency” we were going to see from the Porkulus bill he signed into law.

Thanks to Uhhh-bama’s unholy alliance with unions, union-based companies are going to find it tough to get loans for their businesses. 

Oprompter’s vice-president isn’t exactly the shiniest light on the Christmas tree, and it’s proving to be very “distracting”, according to a new book.  When he plagiarizes Hillary’s Tuzla moment as something that really happened to him (forgetting that we’ve heard the story before, and from/to someone else), it’s easy to see how Quayle…er, Biden…can be such a “distraction”, no?

Remember Team Obama’s promise that “no one earning under $250k will see their taxes go up a dime”?  Well, the Senate is bringing up a federal beer tax to fund Omarxist’s socialized medicine plan.  I had no idea that the only people who drank beer were folks who earned a quarter million dollars and higher.

On the positive front for him:

He still has the NYT in his pocket, so much so that they’ve opened their very own NYT Obama merchandise store.  But no, no liberal media bias or anything!
