Obama BACKLASH!! (vote, Congress, salaries, Israel)

[TXTwizter]

Its just a matter of time until Obama screws up and there is a huge backlash of him and his policies. How long will this take? I honestly hope his intentions are good, but some of his policies downright stink. Am I the only one who feels an Obama backlash is looming in the near future?

Well the media seems to be getting upset with him already. I thought it would take longer to read the headlines were already seeing

It will probably take more than two days.

Yes, especially when in just the past three days he has...

Inaugural attended by 1,800,000 (largest crowd for any event in DC history) and not a single arrest or protest.
Completely reversed stupid policies on paranoid secrecy in government.
Ordered that all federal agencies suspend enforcement of "midnight executive orders" pending review.
Initiated sweeping ethics reforms in the executive branch.
Closed Guantanamo and restored rights to those held at Guantanamo per Geneva Convention.
Established a daily economic briefing.
Ended illegal torture practices.
Froze salaries for most of his staff.
Appointed distinguished special envoys to Israel/Palestine and Pakistan/Afghanistan.
Modernized the Whitehouse.gov web site and had it up and running at 12:01 PM on 1/20.
Overturnined Bush's veto on stem-cell research
Cracking down on lobbyists and lobbying policies

Not too shabby

I couldn't agree more. He has rolled up his sleeves and done more good in a few days than Bush has done in years. Yet all some can focus on is that he hasn't been wearing a jacket while in the office.

I suppose it is to be expected. Bush enablers and supporters will never give credit where credit is due or lay blame where it rightfully belongs.

OP I voted for the other guy but, uh hes been pres 2 days. Ya might wanna wait more than that for predictions of doom.

Besides the Dem congress looks much much worse.

The past 72 hours of Obama's presidency has been a TOTAL FAILURE!
Today's example is he wouldn't answer questions to the press about shooting missles into Pakistan. Why the heck are we now shooting missles into Pakistan a soveign country!!!

He man-handled one reporter. One reporter asked about the timing of the bailout to help displaced people and he got put in his place. What happened to "Mr. Transparency" and "change"? Unfreaking believable!

Did he also bite off a baby's head and kick a puppy?
Links?

Yes, I agree...Obama's Presidency is a total failure...at giving Bush supporters anything to really gripe about.

I thought the right wingers had already called his policies a still birth. Do they also believe in reincarnation?
