Security Council response to either incident. Despite the advances made in these two countries, the President wants focus on “regional missile threats.” * Change on Cuba: In his first 100 days, the President ended 50 years of U.S. policy on Cuba, claiming it had not worked. If a similar strategy were followed with the Soviet Union, the U.S. would have abandoned containment long before the Cold War ended. This new policy may leave other dictators questioning the seriousness of U.S. opposition to oppression and systemic violations of human and civil rights. The Ugly * Gutting the Defense Budget: In his first 100 days, President Obama proposed a budget that would cut deep into defense procurement programs while phasing out supplemental spending to cover the costs in Iraq and Afghanistan, which will now also cut into the “core” Pentagon budget. * “Cold War” Weapons: These cuts were justified as eliminating “Cold War” weapons systems including the F-22 stealth fighter and next generation Navy destroyer. All the programs designated for elimination were started after the Cold War ended and were justified by Presidents on both sides of the aisle. * Ho-Hum on Homeland Security: In his first 100 days, President Obama has been ambivalent and contradictory on homeland security and counterterrorism policies since 9/11, including avoiding the discussion altogether and reversing strategies at the border and with immigration enforcement. The Administration lacks a coherent approach to homeland security. * Detainee and Counterterrorism Policy: President Obama has promised the closure of Guantanamo Bay and repudiated interrogation policies and has been unclear about reauthorizing vital counterterrorism tools granted by the USA PATRIOT Act. While dismissing past policy, the President has not offered any credible alternatives to address pre-9/11 problems in combating terrorism identified by the 9/11 commission. 100 Days of Good, Bad and Ugly | The Foundry: Conservative Policy News.

This current administration should be looked at as motivation to change our worn-out idea of a two party system. The Libertarian Party, being the third largest party in the country, really has an opportunity to move into the spotlight as the party that truly represents the people and foundations of this country. So thank you, Mr. Obama, for failing to keep the spotlight of the new alternative for Americans. I think these first 100 days have really emphasized the failures of both Democrats and Republicans.

And what Obama is doing is dismantling everything that made America great… in the name of his wacked-out Marxist-professor mentors. Seriously, only a fool would cheer programs with no historical precedent of success, i.e. astronomical pork-barrel spending while borrowing ALL of the money from communist China, a Jimmy Carter-esque pacifist foreign policy steeped in appeasement, embracing scum like Hugo Chavez while insulting traditional allies… and Obama and Co. display a pattern of dishonesty that is troubling, to say the least. Check back with us in a year- when people start to come out of the ether after a couple international embarrassments and 10% inflation from the reckless print-money spending spree that The One if foisting on us. In three years, people will wince at the very mention of the name "Obama"- and the GOP could win 40 states running Gilbert Gottfried. <a href="http://reaganiterepublicanresistance.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://reaganiterepublicanresistance.blogspot.com...</a> I guess “velocity is a virtue” when you’re trying to ram a radical agenda down the throats of a economically shell-shocked populace before they wake-up to what you’re doing to the country.
