Carter's just there as a courtesy, ...LOL, Maggie. Carter's just there as a courtesy, although that image does remind me of <I>The Sting</I>. Damn great film. Carter's made some serious blunders, but I believe he genuinely wants to help the country. Whether or not he goes about it the right way is another matter.<BR/><BR/>There's a lot of clean up President Obama must do. I particularly think of the national infrastructure Bush ignored that resulted in Katrina. If I started listing investments desperately needed in this country, I'd be here all day.<BR/><BR/>But what if his crazy schemes <B>do</B> work? Hell, I don't know if I'm right. I know change won't happen overnight, but there's a lot of positive movement forward. Not all of the policies for any Administration are based on intellect: no president can make that claim.<BR/><BR/>Turdblossom's refusal to answer a Congressional summons just goes to show you that politics and criminal behavior always walk hand in hand, despite the party. Technically, he should be in jail.<BR/><BR/>Don't quote me, but if Meghan McCain ever runs for president, she might just get my vote. The Senator's daughter has the makings of a great leader.Stella by Starlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385761338190877425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10193821.post-68937838477397019302009-03-21T06:45:00.000-05:002009-03-21T06:45:00.000-05:00I'm afraid Stella's OD'ed on Hope.Team Obama has n...I'm afraid Stella's OD'ed on Hope.<BR/><BR/>Team Obama has no crazy scheme -- they've been winging it from the start.<BR/><BR/>The One promised "No Lobbyists In *MY* Administration" and less than a week later appointed nineteen of them.<BR/><BR/>The One promised "Change!" and then filled his cabinet with Clinton Cabineteers.<BR/><BR/>The One declaims that all Americans should have government-funded health care, and then announces his decision that wounded veterans should bear the cost of healing their own service-incurred wounds.<BR/><BR/>The One didn't even do a quick background check of his Secretarial nominees -- the only good news is that publicly embarrassing Daschle and Geithner added several thousand bucks to the treasury's coffers.<BR/><BR/>Team Obama *has* no coherent plan -- other than floundering like a cinderblock trying to tread water in the deep end of the pool.<BR/><BR/>BTW, Jimbo's not giving the scam signal -- he's just incapable of finding his nostril without using both hands...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10193821.post-75931136095525867972009-03-19T10:31:00.000-05:002009-03-19T10:31:00.000-05:00Yup, it is.Yup, it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
