Executive orders

Well it seems that our new man in the White House already has a game plan for the first few days he becomes the MFIC. First he is doing something actually good which will stop the ban on stem cell research. 'Bout time. It's ridiculous not to use what we can to make life better. Never agreed with the ban and never will.

Mr. Obama will also reverse the decision to drill for oil and gas in some areas, specifically Utah. I'm calling it now... $10.00/ gallon in three years if he goes through with all his plans as he has stated them. If he takes out off-shore drilling, shale drilling, Utah, and ANWR off the table, that pretty much puts us out of the game. Back to the locker room we go.

Now Reid, Pelosi, and other Dems are pushing for a bailout of the automakers as well as banks and insurance companies... Why not? Let's see if we can break the one trillion mark for free shit to companies who can't manage their own finances? Add that to the bailout that they want to give people who can't pay their mortgage, lovingly nursed by Hoos' new Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, we should pretty much have government money into everybody's pocket except mine oddly enough. See I'm not behind on my mortgage and I, being self-employed at my whopping 60 grand or so a year won't qualify for much of what he wants to give away. And the FICA tax he loves so much will continue to empty my pockets and go into somebody Else's who doesn't want to work.

And let's talk about Rahm Emanuel for a second. The ballet major turned "tough guy" senator from Chicago is not known for working "across party lines", the regurgitated mantra of The Chosen One for the past two years. He was appointed to the board of currently in the tank Freddie Mac, by Bill Clinton in 2000, where he served with... distinction? Dishonor? And a cute little factoid I didn't know is that Barack Hussein Obama got the second highest campaign contributions from Fannie and Freddie out of any senator from 1989-2008. Not bad for only being in the senate for two years. I guess that good enough to get a Chief of Staff position. http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/election/495

Actually, now that I think about it, Emanuel goes great with The honorable Governor Jennifer Granholm of the one state recession that is the great state of Michigan, sitting on his economic advisory team. Crooked board member of a failed multi-billion dollar entity, Crooked governor of a recently failed state... not bad. I can't wait to see who he picks as treasury secretary.
