Common Sense Evaluation

Michael Gerson warns us what Obama would likely do as president in his first 100 days in office, if he sticks to his campaign rhetoric.

It’s worth reading the whole thing and may send a chill up your spine if you believe as I do that Barack Hussein Obama means what he says.

Obama’s First 100 Days

---

Obama’s 100-day agenda would be designed, in part, to improve America’s global image. But there is something worse than being unpopular in the world — and that is being a pleading, panting joke. By simultaneously embracing appeasement, protectionism and retreat, President Obama would manage to make Jimmy Carter look like Teddy Roosevelt.

Which is why President Obama would probably not take these actions — at least in the form he has pledged. Sitting behind the Resolute desk is a sobering experience that makes foolish campaign promises seem suddenly less binding.

But it is a bad sign for a candidate when the best we can hope is for him to violate his commitments. And that’s a good sign for John McCain.
