Busy Day
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 07/08/2012 14:18:26

When Mitt Romney becomes president on Jan. 20, 2013 he's gonna have a busy, busy day. In fact he may need to work long into the hours of the night, demanding that Congress extend the day so that he can accomplish all he's promised.

Day one of being president is mostly reserved for things like inaugural celebrations including parties, parade, fireworks, speeches, old Presidents flying away in shame, bands playing, more speeches, and of course, the actual inauguration. Often the evening is taken up with more parties and a dinner. Maybe Mitt and Anne don't want all that? Maybe they just want to ride up the the White House and have John Roberts do his swearing in thing quickly, then retreat into the house without one bell or whistle?

Knowing what little I do about the Romneys, I highly doubt it! These are people who like to talk about themselves.

So, after all those things, Mitt will have just a few hours left in the day to accomplish these things:

1. Approve the Keystone pipeline, (aka the Koch Bros Pipes). Even if he could just sign this into action with the sweep of his well-mannicured hand, he still has promised to "make every effort to safeguard the environment", and that alone will take more than one 1/2 day of research.

2. Introduce tax cuts. Really? And people are falling for this?

3. Issue an order to replace President Obama's health care law with "common sense health care reform."
What the Court did not do on its last day in session, I will do on my first day if elected president.


I hope your health care replacement plan is really simple, cause you'll only have a few hours to put it in place and get all the states to agree. Hey, maybe you could use that plan that you had in MA..... oh, never mind.

4. Announce deficit reductions. Ok, you're cheating here, one could argue that announcing something is way different than actually doing something. For instance, I am now formally announcing that I will NOT sit around in my pajama bottoms and a dirty t-shirt all day, and instead will get dressed to the 9's and fly to Haiti to save starving children by providing them food and medical treatment all day today.

5. Stand up to China on trade. Yeah, kinda like batting a hornets nest and running away really, really, fast. This is gonna take more than one day, even Nixon knew this.

6. Begin repeal of "job killing regulations". He is unclear which job killing regulations that he's referring to. Either way, I'm pretty sure Congress will not be in session on that day, and in order to repeal things, you're gonna need their help.

Well, Mitt, I'm beginning to think your first day in office is going to look a lot like my day today, though I'm sure you won't have coffee dribble down the front of your t-shirt since you don't drink the stuff.

He really does like to lie, huh?

When it comes to first day on the job announcements, I still think Newt has him beat.
At his speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition's 2012 Republican Presidential Candidates Forum this afternoon, Gingrich urged attendees to help vote a large Republican majority into the House and Senate in 2012 so Congress could immediately pass repeals of the Affordable Care Act and the financial regulations Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank.

They should do so early in January, "before I am sworn in," he said. "Bring it out during the inaugural so we can finish signing it."

And within hours of his inauguration, he'd move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which would signal the United States believes Israel owns the contested capitol city. Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama have all delayed moving the embassy for diplomatic and national security concerns.

I sincerely hope the only thing that Romney is doing on Inauguration Day 2013 is watching President Obama get sworn in for a 2nd term.

Ha, still getting used to my keyboard --- I had the inauguration moved to 2014 at one point and 2012 at another. More coffee is needed.

My hope is that Romney is so downhearted about his defeat that he will be busy with a vacation in a warm place. Maybe he can bring his jet skis.

Romney can always go someplace and tie the horse to the roof of the plane before it goes dancing.
