The Beer Summit of 2009

Picture-17

The President made it through his first 100 days without much mishap. The first signs of the sort of crazy headlines that would threaten to derail his health care plan were actually of the President’s own making. Behold the Beer Summit. In the aftermath of well-known Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates arrest at the hands of a white police officer, Obama took Lynn Sweet’s bait during press conference and proceeded to describe the police as having acted “stupidly.” Before you know it Obama’s remarks have caused such an uproar that the President shortly finds himself hosting a “Beer Summit” with Gate, Biden, and the officer in question Sgt. James Crowley.

We need a change to the Constitution that allows for a referendom on the quality of an administration after the first year.
It would allow a choice. Pick one in each section.
The President is doing a great job, lets keep him……………….___
Oh crap, what have we done. We need a do over………………..___

Congress is doing a great job, Let’s keep them as is…………___
Who elected those morons? Let’s switch party’s in

citizen can buy a ticket (max 5 tickets per adult)…………………..___

9 Months… and what has been accomplished. A dead fly, beer, and a failed attack on FNC. A few good speeches, an (admittedly) undeserved award, and some legislation that probably won’t make it to law.

Woo-hoo????

Well… Bush didn’t have the same kind of situation when he took office, now did he? No wars, no recession, etc. Additionally, by this time, 9-11 had already happened, and we were in Afghanistan… Bush’s approval numbers were way high.

But more importantly… does it matter? I thought Obama was elected to be BETTER than Bush… not to be equal to? Why would you want to compare them, to show how parallel they are? What does that prove?

Is it 2012 yet?
