Obama's First 100 Days

We've all heard this endless mantra by the worshipers of the lightbringer about how great his first 100 days as president were.

Why 100 days? We are told by many that this all started with Roosevelt, his new deal and the other stuff he got enacted in that brief amount of time.

Not so.

It started with Napoleon, from his escape from Elba to his death at St. Helena, and what he did in a scant 100 days.

From Cannonfire:
In that short period Napoleon reconstituted his grand army, chased Louis XVIII from his throne, won several battles; he did make mistakes and lost the last battle at Waterloo. He died in exile on the rocky, intemperate island of St. Helena, and was finally reburied with pomp and circumstances in Paris. Now that is a 100 days of real events, packed with wins, losses, fury and glory.
Compared to a record like that, Obama's first 100 were not much more than a boring sequence of watching him read his teleprompters on a seemingly endless string of facetime events on TV, listening to a bunch of his incredibly expensive program proposals, and hear about his numerous galas and parties at the White House.

Pretty lame and tame... compared to a real mover and shaker.

It's kinda scary how so many citizens can be bamboozled by a load of crap from a smooth talking shyster that needs a teleprompter to put a sentence together.
