Ted Nugent: 100 days — so far, so bad

President Truman had a sign on his desk that said, “The buck stops here.”

If Barry Obama (B.O.) decides to place a sign on his desk in the Oval Office, I recommend he go with something such as, “Don’t point me at anything you don’t wish to destroy.”

The destruction in the first 100 days of our sentence under B.O. is staggering:

* He first follows through on a campaign promise to close Guantanamo Bay in a year, even though the subhuman debris are housed under nicer conditions than many of our heroic troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

He has no plan whatsoever as to what to do with the evil monsters housed there.

But he goes about devising a detailed plan to find the perfect dog for his daughters. A man has to have priorities.

* One of his first appointments is that of admitted tax cheat Tim Geithner, henceforth to be known as The Weasel. He’ll run, of all agencies, Treasury.

Perfect Chicago-style politics, Mr. President. Put a thief in charge of money.

Is it just me or does The Weasel always have the pained look of constipation on his face? Guilt is difficult to hide.

* With the economy taking a hard turn south due to the failure of Democrats in Congress to provide any oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, B.O. then tries to drive the final stake through the free market’s heart. He gets the Fedzilla dopes in his party to go along with a trillion-dollar “stimulus” plan and multi-year trillion- dollar deficit spending.

B.O. and the Fedzilla Reserve give hundreds and hundreds of billions in loans to banks, automobile companies and AIG.

* B.O. hires Eric “Black Power” Holder to be the attorney general.

Holder’s first act is to imply all white people are racists.

* Our leader heads to Europe where he blames all of the world’s ills on America. “Hate America First” is his playbook.

European nations go ga-ga over this message, so they generously agree to send a half-dozen or so more non-combat troops to Afghanistan.

* With General Motors tanking despite bailout money B.O. fires its CEO. Not a single autoworker is canned, proving that the unions, not the stockholders, are in charge.

* Department of Homeland Insecurity boss Janet Napolitano, aka the New Queen of Mean, issues a report that says veterans, gun owners and all conservatives need to be watched extra closely because they do not spread palm leaves in front of B.O.’s limousine as he drives by.

* While The Queen is issuing baseless reports, a couple of hundred thousand Americans protest B.O.’s gigantic spending spree on April 15. David “Axe Man” Axelrod, a B.O. tough guy in the White House who obviously despises the First Amendment, says the protests are “unhealthy.”

* Our fearless leader leaves the country again and finds himself shaking hands with Hugo Chavez, one of the world’s most egregious human-rights violators.

Before it’s over, Chavez gives him a book on how to hate America in 12 easy steps. B.O. smiles.

And it all happened in a 100-day heartbeat.

If this is the kind of hope and change you wanted, you will get plenty more of it. And then the bill for it all will come and we can all play dumb.
