Economic Stimulus Bill!

I first need to say that this $838 billion stimulus bill is a bad idea. I have no idea why I think this, I guess in my gut I feel it’s wrong. My gut has never let me down in the past, so that’s why I’m going with it.

I know that something needs to e done, but reading what’s in this bill isn’t the answer. Some of the things that are in the bill have no business being there. I really don’t want to go line by line on this issue, but if you haven’t read the bill do so. The bill is loaded with pork barrel spending, just wearing a mask. President Obama said there would be no pork spending, but he’s full of crap. And as always, the Democrats and the Republicans are fighting. And the Democrats are pushing their way all over the Republicans, something that President Obama said he didn’t wan to see, which I think is a lie. If President Obama really cared he would listen to both sides, which he hasn’t. Anyway, President Obama got the votes he needed to prove he could get this passed. He had to give up over $100 billion to buy a few votes from the Republicans. He purchased the votes of Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania which all voted for the bill. The test vote was 61 – 36 for the bill, which is one over the 60 needed. So if this does pass, and signed into law I sure hope my gut is wrong this time.

Historic Impeachment!

I have blogged about the impeachment trail against Gov. Rod Blagojevich of Ill in the past, which I still feel is wrong. He’s being impeachment because he’s been accused of selling President Obama’s Senate seat, and a few other charges. Also, as most of you already know, Gov. Rod Blagojevich hasn’t had his day in court yet. And because he hasn’t had his day in court he’s boycotting the impeachment hearing, which I think is a great idea, but could hurt him down the road. I also feel that he will be impeached no matter what he does, guilty or not. And that’s what makes this whole trial so wrong. Every American has the right to a fair trial. Right now Gov. Rod Blagojevich is in New York making a few TV appearances to try to prove he’s innocent. He’s done fighting behind closed doors, he’s now taking his case public, again, which I think is a good idea. But what do I know. I guess what I’m trying to say, and end with this, everyone has a right to a fair trail, I don’t care who you are, it’s the law of the land.

A Note To Barack!

When President George W. Bush, well former President left office yesterday he left behind a folder for President Barack Obama. This folder was left on the most famous desk in the world, the Resolute desk which sits in the Oval Office of the White House. I can only image what words former President Bush had left for President Obama. One thing I sure about is that former President Bush said nothing but kind things in this letter. Bush made a lot of bad choices while President of the United States of America, but has always been honest with America, anyways that’s how I felt. And I’m sure President Obama will read this letter with a open heart and hold it close. The transfer of power has been the smoothest in American history, and that’s because of the way these two men are.

Coming To Washington!

Come this Tuesday we will have a new President of the United States of America, as most everyone in the world knows. I’m like most Americans, hoping for a new change. And President-elect Barack Obama needs to find away to get American back on track very quickly. And I think he’s already doing that considering he’s not even the President yet. He has a few huge packages ready to get approval by congress to give the economy a spark, which hopefully will turn into a long burning flame. If we as Americans don’t stand with him the nation will fail. We need to become one nation under God again, until then we will never grow as a nation again. So with that being said, Obama needs to first bring the country back together. And then work on fixing all of our problems.
