Politics as Usual

I have waited to give Obama a chance to get
it right, but I am tired of waiting. After just 3
weeks he has proven that he is way below
the pay scale of the Presidency. Three dumb
mistakes and it looks like more to come. Even
I know that you don't pick a tax dodger to run
a government dept. I guess he thinks it's OK
since he admits the mistakes. Three of the
people that he has picked for dept. heads
have avoided paying their federal income taxes.
Most of us would be in jail if we did that. One
of these three actually became head of the
Treasury Dept. Others that he picked are being
investigated for various deeds that are not
legal and had to drop out of the running. These
are the kind of things that happen when you
pick someone who is inexperienced for the
top job. Obama has let Pelosi pick the agenda
for his presidency. That's a shame. She says
that we are loosing 500 million jobs every
month that we don't pass the stimulus bill. That
is about 200 million more people than we
have in these United States unless you count
the people in Mexico. So there should not
be anyone working right now. But I swear
that when I went to Wal-Marts last night
that there was someone there to check me
out. Maybe Nancy had a slip of the tongue
but that seems to be happening more often
with this crew running our government.

The way I see it a stimulus package should
create jobs not a new bureaucracy. It is hard
to get this through to our politicians. This is
the reason I am for term limits with no benefits
after leaving the government. These people
then have to live with the laws and bills that
they passed while in government.
