A lot has changed in the month since Obama became president.
Let's review, shall we?
Things That Have Gotten WORSE Since Obama Became President
1. The U.S. stock market has plumetted to a six-year low. But, hey, it's only your retirement money, right?
2. Nationalization of banks has become a serious possibility. America, the new banana republic.
3. Obama has backed three MASSIVE new spending initiatives (the $787 billion stimulus bill, the trillion-dollar financial stability initiative and the $275 billion mortgage assistance program). A trillion here, a trillion there -- but who's counting?
4. Hundreds of thousands of classic children's books (children's books printed before the early 1980s) are being destroyed all across the country because they may contain miniscule traces of lead in their print
6. Russia has become emboldened and increasingly aggressive
7. Iran has also become more emboldened and aggressive, has launched its first home-built earth satellite, and now has enough material to make a nuclear weapon
8. Pakistan has freed the notorious A.Q. Khan, who sold nuclear technology to North Korea, Libya and Iran, and has capitulated to the brutal Taliban in the Swat region
9. Obama has announced that he will close Guantanamo within a year -- even though his administration has no clear answer to the question of what to do with the most dangerous GITMO terrorists, including 9/11 matermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
10. Obama has dropped charges against the U.S.S. Cole bombing suspect allegedly responsible for the deaths of American sailors. It's been a good month for terrorists.
Now, here is a list of the things that have gotten better since Obama became president:
Things That Have Gotten BETTER Since Obama Became President
1. America has had its first African American president. (Technically, this doesn't count, though, since it didn't happen after Obama became president).
2. . . . .
2. . . . . . .
2. . . . .
<Silence>
I guess that's it, then.
I can't wait to see Obama's second month in office.

Great blog -- found you on RightWingNews -- I love this article -- I mean you couldn't think of one thing that is (better) since Obama became President -- I can think of a few things:
Huffington has less trolls on Digg.com -- Chris Matthews is now worried about the tingle in his leg -- and the ONE has Clinton touring the world, maybe to never be heard from again!
Now that stuff is all better, right?

Well, he does make Vladimir Putin look better by comparison!

Loved the BLOG but did you ever think that this Administration’s incompetence is merely the cover story for the real agenda … fundamental transformation of America (“a downright mean place to live”). What is scary is that these folks are not incompetent but perversely brilliant. This Administration is out to do exactly what they have proclaimed from the beginning… fundamentally transform America. What they intentionally blur is their vision of the end-game. They can’t afford that picture to clarify. Obama is dumb like a fox! Will we be the hounds or the moles?

How long do Americans think America's most productive 25% of the nation (who pay 86.27% of the federal hog trough tab) will foot the bill for the other 75% of Americans who can't resist the urge to bite the hand that feeds them?
When $4 trillion in new federal debt fails to "bailout" a nation no longer interested in bailing itself out, what next?
When those who pay taxes in America run for cover in foreign markets that will reward them for their productivity instead of penalizing it, who will foot the bill in America then?
It's official… Americans have indeed made history, as the dumbest electorate on earth. When the bill for "change" comes due, what's the D's next trick?
Congratulations! It took the freest people on earth only 232 years to vote themselves into desperate economic calamity and national collapse at the hand of people who have never held an honest job, employed a single soul, produced a single thing, turned a penny's profit or met a single payroll.

and to think, it only took Obama 30 days to head up all this destruction. He sure has been in high gear, or Obama on Steroids, but gee, I thought that Steroids were illegal or outlawed, or is that only for athletes and people who are into sports??
