The drunken Obama koolaid drinkers are starting to wake up from their stupor

Earlier this week we saw the Europeans become a bit threatening to "The One" when he called for "buy American" in the Stimulis package. Now it looks like even the euphoric American public is waking up from it's drunken election stupor, and can't believe that Mr. Hope and Change hasn't solved all their problems in a few weeks like they thought he would.

USA Today/CNN poll shows that 64% approve of the job the president is doing so far in office, down from a pre-Inauguration high of 83%. On the Stimulis Plan.....only 37% of the public supports opening a sewer grate in the middle of Washington and driving Brinks trucks up to the gaping whole to dump a TRILLION DOLLARS we don’t have down a bottomless pit of waste, graft, and corruption. It took Bush a full month to drop 10%......and if CNN is involved in the polling, you can bet the "actual figures" are probably lower than that.

In Obama's "Throw them under the Bus" appointments we got a two-for-one yesterday.
Nancy Killefer , the proposed Chief Performance Officer, and Tom Daschle, Secretary Designate Health and Human Services, both out for tax problems.
Couple this with Bill Richardson, a Commerce Secretary nominee, out for a corruption investigation, and Timothy Geitner, the new Treasury Secretary, barely squeaking by after not paying taxes despite having been warned about the issue a number times, and it starts to look like Obama's "political experience" is starting to show itself.

Not a good start for the most ethical administration in the history of the universe.....and you know we haven't seen the end of the whole ex Governor Blago fiasco.

Europe loves Obama......but not "that" much!

European Union leaders are holding their annual attempt at pumping life into the EU economy, trying to make it the most competitive in the world by 2010.
The EU today threatened legal action and retaliatory measures against the US if the Obama administration enshrines a "Buy American" clause in its multibillion-dollar economic stimulus package.

The Euros are now discovering what that "change" part, of the Hope and Change, was all about.
It's a little bit hard to swallow this rhetoric from the European Union to express outrage at American protectionism, when that is typically their forte.

Last summer, PepsiCo was thought to be interested in buying up the French dairy company Danone. The French went apeshit.
Soon after, the French government came up with 11 strategic commercial sectors that should be protected from foreign takeovers. Economic patriotism was the new rallying cry.....Buy French. FINANCIAL TIMES
