First 100 Days: Obama's Spending Spree Causes Government Expansion
Since we are almost at the 100 Day mark for the Obama Administration, it is time to look back and ask, “What has Barack Obama done for you lately?” If you are like me, your answer will be to spend taxpayer dollars like it’s going out of style, push his radical social agenda on Americans, and having his DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano consider all those who have opposite political views considered extremists. In order to make this brief, he has done nothing for anyone.
Fox News shares the news that Obama’s spending spree has caused an even larger expansion of the federal government since World War II. Many economic experts are warning that more challenges face Obama. For example:
Among the warning signs: The Government Accountability Office said Thursday that states need help covering the cost of overseeing their share of the massive federal stimulus program.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told a congressionally appointed oversight panel this week that America’s banks are still broken, despite all their bailout billions. And an inspector general assigned to the bailout program concluded this week that a private-public partnership designed to buy up bad assets is tilted in favor of private investors and creates “potential unfairness to the taxpayer.”
Add to this, if more government programs are created, it will become a challenge to cut them in the future, as many jobs will be lost placing the U.S. into higher unemployment rates.

I guess “velocity is a virtue” when you’re trying to ram a radical agenda down the throats of a economically shell-shocked populace before they wake-up to what you’re doing to the country. And what Obama is doing is basically dismantling everything that made America great… in the name of his wacked-out Marxist-professor mentors.
Seriously, only a fool would cheer astronomical pork-barrel spending in the name of “stimulus” while borrowing ALL of the money from communist China, a pacifist foreign policy steeped in appeasement, embracing scum like Hugo Chavez while insulting traditional allies… and a pattern of dishonesty that is troubling, to say the least.
Check back with us in a year- when people start to come out of the ether after a couple international embarrassments and 10% inflation from the reckless print-money spending spree that this scam-artist if foisting on us.
And in three years, people will wince at the very mention of his name- and the GOP could win 40 states running Gilbert Gottfried.
I am really starting to question if the Obama supporters are beginning to regret their decisions. My guess is no, but the awakening is right around the corner.
