Day 26. More joy over pork bill

The president used his weekly radio address to tout the pork bill some more. I am going to go get drunk again tonight.

Day 25. A quarter way through.

Here we are a quarter of the way thru the first 100 days. It's Friday the 13th. It's a sad day. Only god knows how much it will cost and what exactly is in this so-called stimulus bill. OK, god probably does not even know. Pork, pork and more pork. I am going to go get drunk now.

Day 24. #3 down.

Obama's 3rd cabinet nomination (a Republican) has withdrawn his name from nomination for Commerce Secretary. Why? Another tax problem? Nope. This guy just can't stomach the pork bill.

Day 23. Wag the dog.

Plenty of manufacturing jobs in Washington. In a brilliant move (rivaling the Bill Clinton drama when he made a cross out of some stones on Omaha Beach in Normandy), the Obama Administration seems to have manufactured a similar moment with a woman (who's name is now of the household variety as this article put it) named Henrietta Hughes. That does not quite have the same ring as Joe the Plumber, but with the media's help it might.

Maybe Henrietta could get over to New Orleans and find some of the Katrina housing that has gone unused.

PS. Your blogger is checking to see if Henrietta knows Peggy Joseph.

Day 22. What's for dinner?

Pork. Lots and lots of pork.

Day 21. I won.

Stumble thru some town hall meetings. More fear mongering, more double talk. Blah, blah, blah.

Day 20. Get packing

The president is packing for a trip to garner grassroots support for his socialist pork bill. Seems a little late for that, but since the poll numbers show support dropping, he must figure 'better late than never'.

Day 19. More fear mongering

Same old rhetoric, same old fear mongering to get potential scapegoats (republican senators) signed on to the pork bill.

I guess this is the bill that Peggy Joseph is waiting for...




Hope and change?...not yet.

Day 18. Obama gets schooled.

Obama has showed us his inexperience and naivety. He appears to have no standing or gravitas as president. This is a hard lesson--the inner workings of the beltway. Perhaps it would have helped if he spent more time in the state legislature and US senate. He is trying to ram this bill down our throats--a bill he tossed to Nancy and Harry which the porked up even more. It seems that Nancy and Harry are sacrificing the historic president to make this bill their own. They have gotten O to ratchet up the rhetoric and verbal arm twisting, doing Nancy and Harry's dirty work...nice move by them. Quite frankly, he looks like a spoiled three year old throwing a tantrum. I thought he was supposed to be a unifier. Wasn't he going to pull the troops out of Iraq? Suckers.

Charles Krauthammer has a nice column on what he calls the 'awakening'.

So the senate has reached a compromise, great. I just hope the republicans will hold strong like they did in the house.

Day 17. Comrade Obama

The president is fear-mongering again today. Remember yesterday's red flag? There should be two today.

He actually wants to cap the pay to executives of the banks receiving the bail out money. When will that stop? What else will the government demand to control? Will my neighbors be informing on me for this blog?

This is starting to get scary. The house Republicans stood firm on their vote. Lets hope the senator Republicans do the same. For the sake of the country.

Day 16. Chicken Little

The sky is falling, the sky is falling...
When ever a politician wants to ram something through the process, a red flag (like this one) should go up...

Speaking of China, the AP is shouting copyright infringement over the use of their photo. Apparently, the 'art' based on this photo is bringing in mega bucks. Now there's an economic stimulus plan. It beats the hell out of printing money.

Day 15. Wow, what a day!

This morning, O, was "absolutely" behind Daschle. This evening, he "screwed up". All the while, Iran is launching satellites into orbit and O's response is that we will use "all elements of our national power" to deal with them. Say, what?!?

Kids get some more wood for the fire, our enemies have not yet arrive to sing Kumbya...they are off threatening our national security.

I'm glad we'll have "Joe Biden, war hawk" to back up the O when he is messing himself under his desk when the first international crisis hits.

Day 14. First (of many) broken promises.

From politifact.com

One of President Obama's major campaign planks was making government more open and accountable. ...

I know, I know, you all were hoping for some change...sorry, "I won."

Day 13. Superbowl Sunday.
