The president’s current term of office is 208 weeks long. He has yet to finish the first.
I think in terms of campaign promises we can give him a little slack at this point.

Yesterday commenting on the economic plan and what was being proposed and how it was done I had this to say:
This is what is happening , the ground is being prepared not for the recovery of the county’s economy but for the retention of power. If the economy recovers all well and good but if not they are going to be damn sure that they keep their majorities.
First things first after all.
Well it looks like someone a whole lot more knowledgeable than me on this has something to say about this:
Put simply, I believe his stimulus is aimed at re-establishing “eternal” power for the Democrat Party rather than stimulating the economy because anyone with a brain knows this is NOT how you stimulate the economy. If I can be made to serve as a distraction, then there is that much less time debating the merits of this TRILLION dollar debacle.
I don’t claim to have the experience of Rush Limbaugh but remember first and foremost this is what it going on. Anyone who thinks it isn’t the case isn’t paying attention. economy
Arthur vs Carter The updated count

It hit me that I didn’t specify how we got to the current 5-2 count with Carter in the lead.
The president got one vote for Arthur with the predator strike in Pakistan.
He got three additional Carter votes for the following:
The Jimmy carter walk. (I know it’s cheap but all I could see was Carter when he did it)
The unwillingness of his own press people to confirm the strike above
The call for Israel to open up the Gaza checkpoints
No points yet for the Mitchell appointment but that’s close.
Where’s my outrage?

As I’ve made clear on this blog, I’m a practicing Roman Catholic. I believe the reason to be a Catholic is because it is true. I’ve also stated that Abortion is the killing of human life and comparable to slavery.
So why no outraged posts concerning the change in abortion funding rules under Obama? Mainly because this was not an outrageous act.
I don’t mean that in the sense that it isn’t a deeply wrong thing that aids and abets a significant evil that will destroy lives, scar people and help cause suffering in this world and damnation in the next to many. It will do all those things. I don’t in the least disagree with The Anchoress, L.A. Catholic, The Curt Jester or Gateway Pundit. I just can’t get work into a lather over it.
Why? Because this is a liberal democrat. To his party Abortion is a sacrament. He stated clearly that he supported Roe v Wade and that he would repeal these things. The time to get outraged was when this was declared and to campaign against the election of people who would support such a thing and a congress that would back him up. Not after his election when he does what we all knew was going to happen.
This is not outrageous behavior for a liberal democrat. It is evil but not outrageous.
