Obama's bad week

Obama is having a bad week.
First, Iran launches up its first satellite http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1233304668568&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull.
Second, North Korea wants to do a ballistic missiles test http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D96493480&show_article=1.
Third, on the home front, Obama's stimulus bill is going to be met by fierce opposition from the Republicans in the Senate.
Fourth, the E.U is complaining that the bill will hurt trade relations, because it says that only American steel can be used in all of the infrastructure problems http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article5655115.ece.
Fifth, his treasury secretary was found to not have paid taxes. Then yesterday his wanted appointment to health czar, Tom Daschle, was found to also not have paid some taxes, and is a lobbyist, breaking Obama's new ethics rules. This follows on the heels of Nancy Killefer and Bill Richardson also dropping positions for embarrassing reasons http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D964904G0&show_article=1.

So, overall a bad week for him.
Hopefully he can fix it.
