Filler poll

Obama poll at the bottom of this post.

The weekend usually brings a big drop off in visits here. Frankly, I have little to say today after spending the day watching the USC Spring football game I am now in the mood to kick back and relax into the evening.

So FILLER in on tap!

As the first 100 days of the Obama administration approaches please give a letter grade to his performance so far. I will tell you my vote: D.

Personally, I am not a fan.

On the foreign policy front he gets an F from me. The worst elements of his personality are on display whenever he goes overseas. The apology tours are displays of weakness. Instead of just claiming he knows everyone hated Bush but he's not Bush- he ought to also make the case for American leadership as well. Believe it or not, we existed as a nation before Bush and - even - before he was born. Shocker! And we did a lot of good. Shocker!

He's blowing his chance to reinvigorate foreign policy. The leaders of the nations who will present him with the biggest problems don't give a rats ass if he's sorry. Sarkozy has already said he has no "backbone". The French President knows a thing or two about people with no backbone. He's leads a nation of them. Promote yourself loudly and carry a jello stick is Obama's policy.

On the domestic front I give him a C. Mostly because he seems determined to revamp healthcare in his first year. About this fear of rationing - all I can say is our healthcare system is already rationed. People go who get sick go bankrupt, poor people choose between the doctor and dinner. That is rationing of resources. This issue must be dealt with NOW.

The rest of his agenda is drags him down in my book. Dishonesty and corruption is still the norm. TARP is the biggest swindle in our history - and will only lengthen our pain - extending it over generations.

Now you:
