ONE PROBLEM-ONE BILL
hello america! won't waste your time with a lot of writing so, please bear with me.
whether you rent, lease, or own your residence, emergencies always pop up at the wrong time. well, let's just say a water pipe broke (for whatever reason) & water is flooding your kitchen & falling into your basement. you make a few phone calls & compare prices, you look at your checkbook to make sure you can afford the repairs. this being an emergency, would you have the plumber put a new shower kit in the bathroom while he's there? would you have him put on new fancy facets on the basement sink? no, you address the emergency first, then you deal with the cosmetics.
our elected officials need to write one bill for one thing at a time. why can't we pressure them to do this. if we continue to remain lax we are the ones that will have to repay the debt they put us in.
although they have taken it out, $200,000,000 for repairing the white house mall is not the kind of economic help we need during this economic emergency. contact your elected official & give her/him a peice of your mind.

OBAMA, NO MORE APOLIGIZING-GET IT RIGHT
hello america! they say we are a forgiving nation &, for the most part, i concur. that being said, how many times have we seen someone apologize only after they were caught? from simple jay-walking tickets all the way up to capital murders, you only hear the apology after the fact. i steal your wallet, spend your money, run up your credit cards &, when i get in front of the judge & tell him i'm sorry. "i made a mistake"---"i didn't mean to do it"---&, i'm sure you've heard a lot more excuses. i only know of one extremely foolish person that got in front of a judge & said, "yeah, i did it & if you let me go i'll do it again". needless to say, i was sent to the george jr republic in freeville, ny (my father paid half & the court system paid the other half). besides, that judge had it in for me (another excuse) &, i wasn't going to cave into him. but, my fellow americans, this is not about me...
we knew about tom daschle & his nomination since november 4th of 08. obama & his team vetted him so, this tax crap is nothing new to them. daschle was aware of the problem somewhere around june of 08. he did a lot for obama & obama was going to repay him by giving him this position. simple as that.
obama selected him & the day before daschle threw in the towel, obama was on tv saying he fully supported him & expected him to be confirmed. & then yesterday, 2/3/09, some of the major newspapers started calling for daschle to step down & he did. now, here comes obama with his "i made a mistake" & "i screwed up" crap. if the media had not of been involved, daschle would not have withdrawn & obama would never have offered up his weak excuse.
this is why i can't accept obamas 'weak' apology...he got timothy geithner confirmed as secretary of the treasury amidst all of his tax "mistakes". he got eric holder confirmed as attorney general amidst questions of his role in recommending 2 controversial clemincies to bill clinton &, he was a registered lobbyist in 2004. he got hilary clinton confirmed as secretary of state amidst all of her "conflict of interest" issues. he nominated bill richardson for commerce secretaty who withdrew due to an on going federal investigation into his donors being awarded a state contract. he nominated nancy killefer for chief performance officer ( whatever that is) who withdrew because of her own tax issues. & then, there is the exemption to his own rules about hiring former lobbyist into his administration---11 of them at last count. ( PLEASE DON'T FORGET HOW OBAMA, HIS CAMP & THE MEDIA JUMPED ALL OVER SARAH PALIN WITH HER PROBLEMS IN ALASKA &, JOHN MCCAINS KEATING 5 ISSUES-OBAMA STILL HAS A LOT OF MEDIA SUPPORT BUT, IT IS SLOWLY STARTING TO DISSOLVE)
if the above isn't enough, obama hasn't apologized to the nation for that sorry excuse of a stimulus bill that passed the house. he hasn't apologized for getting that $350 billion dollars freed up prior to his taking office & is now just sitting there. he hasn't apologized for ordering gitmo closed with no resolution as to where the detainees are going. he hasn't apologized for signing an executive ban on the use of federal dollars for abortions.
if you remember obama & all the different shady people connencted to him during his run to the office then you can remember how he gave a very weak apology for every one of them. when does it stop?
america, please don't forget obamas own pledge of running an open & honest & fair administration & his setting a high standard for ethics. well, if you judged him on that alone, none of the four are true.
different polls show that the majority of americans are not happy with the bill (H.R.1) in it's present form & yet, even today, obama still supports it as it is.
no, i can't & don't & won't accept his feeble apology concerning his trying to stack the deck with people less then worthy of the trust of my country. & that's the bottom line.
