Post turtles and Obama

Wish I could take credit for this but my father-in-law sent it to me;

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama being our president.
The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post Turtle''.
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.
The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'. 


The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. 'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, and he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just wonder what kind of idiot put him up there to begin with".



I have received emails and Facebook posts about how great Obama is and if those mean old Republicans would get out of his way he could really get  stuff done. They seem to forget that for the first 2 years the Democrats ran both the House and the Senate. So I compiled a short 
list of his failures; 

1. Vowing to VETO any bill that contained a balanced budget amendment
2. Using the Gulf Oil Spill to promote Green Energy - instead of cleaning it up.
3.  Passing a Socialized Health Care Bill even though 85% of the country didn't want it.
4. Thinking the Tea Party is a passing fad - or that they are racists
5. Saying that the United States is not a Christian country no more...
6. Pulling out of Iraq with no clear victory over insurgent forces and saying it was his victory...
7. Trying to re-write history through speeches - with inaccurate information (i.e. Statue of Liberty)
8.  Getting a Nobel Prize for being the most ineffective President in the history of the United States, though some say it was for his pigment. 
9. Putting all legislation on the Internet for five days before it comes to a vote.
10.  Returning the bust of Churchill to the Brits.
11.  Giving a collection of improperly formatted DVDs of his speeches to the British PM.
12.  Denying the notion of American Exceptionalism.
13. Promising to close Gitmo (and not knowing if his “special order” had established a process for moving Gitmo detainees... talk about being clueless) — failing to do so.
14. Securing the Olympics for Chicago in 2016.
15. Naming numerous Communists/Socialists/Progressives to his various Czar positions and then watching them scurry for cover when they get called out, forcing them to resign.
16.  Government races for NJ, VA and the Senate Seat in Mass.(long time Democratic strong holds)
17. Prediction that stimulus would ensure that unemployment doesn’t exceed 8%.
18. Bowing and apologizing for the U.S. to just about everybody.
19. Proposing a Bill to where the Federal Govt can step in and take over a “private” business if they deem it important to national interests...
20. Proposing amnesty for illegal aliens to increase the population of voters for Demoncrat elections
21. Obama (Federal Funds) is now funding abortions...
22. The Stark Treaty (The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons)
23. Firing the CEO of a company
24. Refusing to prosecute the radical hate group; the Black Panthers for violations of others voting rights as well as hate crimes and inciting violence.
25. Obama’s lies about the budget and constant blaming of Bush rather than taking any responsibility at all for his hand in the budget deficit and terrible economy:
    For Fiscal Year 2009, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets. And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009.
    
    If the Obama & the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the Fiscal Year 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
26. Obama and Attorney General Holder suing the Sate of Arizona over bill that only enforces US Federal Law (US code #1304; c, d, & f
27. Operation "Fast and Furious" selling guns to known Mexican drug cartel members to track them back to Mexico. Actually tracking them back to several murders including a U.S. Border Agent
28. Extreme political correctness and inability to call Islamic Extremists and the tenants of Islam which they follow terrorists. But allowing members of the Tea Party Republicans to be called terrorists
29. Tax cheats in his administration; Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner
30. Association with ACORN

I'm waiting to see which of the Republicans are going to make it through the primary process. I like Ron Paul and Rick Perry, but I'd settle for Romney. Hell, I'd vote for a jackass over Obama, but I digress.
