Barack Obama admitted he “screwed up” his first few days in office. What is his biggest “screw up” so far?
Not bothering to check the backgrounds of many of nominees, hoping he could “set a record” for fastest Cabinet confirmations
Slapping salary caps on executives for struggling banks, preventing them from hiring experienced managers to stay in business
Backing a $1.2 billion package of wealth transfers and government expansion economists agree does little to create jobs*
Announcing lobbyists would not get jobs in his administration…then quietly hiring 21 registered lobbyists for top positions
Other
*This apprars to be a typo. Other posts on the LP blog indicate the “stimulus” is $1.2 trillion, not billion. Posted to IPR by Paulie.
If they are going to GIVE these assholes, who apparently can’t manage their businesses any better than I can, a handout from the taxpayers, they damned well better limit how much they can pay themselves or each other, out of that subsidy!
Good point.

To call “Slapping salary caps on executives for struggling banks, preventing them from hiring experienced managers to stay in business” a screwup is absurd!

As usual the current LP leadershit has its conservatoid head up its ass
I voted for the 1.2 (and growing)TRILLION as well.
In his defense, it would be difficult if not impossible to find a non-lobbyist, “honest tax payer” in Washington…
And face it, it is not the salaries at the top of the banks that caused the problem, it’s the people who have earned these salaries. If my tax money is going to bailing them out, I don’t want to see the usual suspects getting money I supplied them.
I voted for the $1.2 “billion” (sic) as it is clearly a bigger deal than the other choices.
Biggest screwup?
Not hiring Ferguson ans Kraus so we don’t see these inane polls and blogs comes to mind
