A Round-up of Recent Obam-inable Actions, Part 2

Obama's been keeping busy. Some of his latest Obam-inable actions:

- Obama obviously was not pleased at taxpayers rising up and protesting his massive spending. So what does he do to appease us? He orders department chiefs to cut $100 million from their budgets. Wow, that's great Obama! I believe it's a whopping 1/36,000 of the money you are planning on spending next year. (Or, to someone making $50,000 per year, it's like cutting 72 cents from their annual spending). It's also equal to the interest that accumulates each and every day on the spend-ulus bill that congress passed this year. How stupid do you think we are? Do you think you tossing us a crumb is going to shut us up?

Then, the same day he ordered the budget cut, he announced that the US should loan the International Monetary Fund $100 BILLION. Let's cut $100 million, then spend $100 billion the same day! Click here to read more.

- Obama ordered the release of memos about torture interrogation methods last week. As it turns out, he only ordered the memos released that make the US look bad. Cheney wants memos released showing how successful our methods were at getting terrorists to squeal. Click here to read more.

- Obama has a new BFF (for those not in elementary school in the 80's, that means best friend forever). His name is Hugo Chavez, and he is a ruthless dictator from Venezuela. Chavez once called Bush the "devil" and Obama an "ignoramus". But all those things are in the past now, we should forget about that. They cordially shook hands last week and Obama has a huge grin pasted on his face. Chavez was kind enough to give Obama a gift, a lovely book called "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent", which chronicles America's criminal actions towards Latin America. Obama thought the book was a "nice gesture". I am guessing Chavez will skip back to Venezuela and brag to all his subjects about how he proved to Obama how horrible America is by giving him that book. Sigh.
