Presidents Day
Author: Raine    Date: 02/16/2009 13:25:58

Happy day! I hope you are enjoying it so far. Let's Talk about our current President, who will most likely be signing the economic recovery bill tomorrow. He's doing pretty well, some say.
Feb. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Barack Obama has transformed American politics. His honeymoon is over. Bipartisanship has been revived, or killed. The White House is dominating the Republicans; the president doesn’t engender any fear. His financial-rescue plan is doomed, a “shock and ugh.”

This all after 25 days, according to conclusions reached by the Washington cognoscenti.

The reality: Obama is off to a good start, even as he has suffered personnel embarrassments and made mistakes. If the presidential campaign is a model, the Obamaites will quickly learn from the miscues. More importantly, he faces even more daunting challenges than was supposed last year -- the financial crisis at home and Afghanistan abroad.

The best perspective on the early stages may be from thousands of miles away and from those who understand the inside-the-Beltway political culture. None are better than Republican James A. Baker, a former secretary of State and Treasury and White House chief of staff, and now a Houston lawyer; and Peter Hart, the preeminent Democratic pollster of the last generation, now teaching at the University of California at Berkeley.

Baker says Obama is off to a pretty good start; Hart says a very good start. Split the difference.
I am hesitant to compare Obama to the past, but I would have to say that under the circumstances, he is light years ahead of anything I expected. As a Dem, there was never going to be a honeymoon, and the idea of the first 100 days in office is a game for the media. We have a Man in charge that is doing exactly what he said he would do while on the campaign trail. We are getting what we hoped for. That is a good thing for this country. We are learning to maybe not so much Trust -- but to know that we have leadership in charge that listens to the people, I like that. Every day has been Presidents Day for me.

That said, it has been less than a month and we are truly a different country. Well not entirely, some people really want this to be a less divided union, politically. What we are seeing is a political party that needs division in order to remain relevant in their mind. I wonder what they will do with Lindsey Graham.
This idea of nationalizing banks is not comfortable," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). "But I think we've got so many toxic assets spread throughout the banking and financial community, throughout the world, that we're going to have to do something that no one ever envisioned a year ago, no one likes. To me, banking and housing are the root cause of this problem. I'm very much afraid any program to salvage the banks is going to require the government... I would not take off the idea of nationalizing the banks."

The remark prompted a bewildered smile of sorts from fellow panelist Maxine Waters (D-CA) who said, to no one in particular, "We have come a long way."
Have we or has he? It wasn't a long time ago that people like John McCain were on the campaign trail, calling things like this socialism. I suspect Mr. Graham will find himself saying he was "mis-quoted" within a week.

Sorry, I just don't have the usual Monday Morning Outrage, and I kind of like that!! Bonus Click!

:peace: and :heart:

In a lot of cases they have to be - logically there aren't that many high paying jobs its just people living above their means. But mean seriously, I have to save for a couple years to get big things done or buy a car or even to take a vacation. It's frustrating, feel like I'm treading the same ground over and over again

That's what I'm thinking - at this point I'm not upside down in my house, value comes down anymore and I'll basically just be even. My car is paid off bought it in 2001 a week after 9/11. I combined somethings and got a realistic loan with a low fixed rate and paid off my high interest credit cards and so far I've been pretty good about keeping them paid off.



So ya I think I got ahead of it before things went totally nuts.

So, how's tricks? I managed to get to bed a little earlier last night. I am trying to get up earlier so I can listen to Momma and the mooks in full. At least I can now just flip it on the XM machine before I hit the computer.

She has to do something. Apparently Randi posted a reply to the Drobny's statement on the Green 960 website so it sounds like at she's at least shopping for a new distributor. IF Dial Global snatches her up that would make them the absolute leader in progressive talk since they already have Bill Press, Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz, and starting in March, Thom Hartmann.

Anyway. IF I had called in today I would have gone on about the lack of prog radio here in the People's Republic of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. And when I looked at 1510 WWZN's website this morning there was nothing but sports and Poker (yes, WWZN bills themselves as "The Poker Station"). Now, at least for the moment, Jeff Santos has his show back from 6-9AM.

And I want to make this.





Clint, you're right. Duh...it's right there in the recipe. Yes, it's tandoori Chicken and it's really yummy!!!













: sniffs : Everybody knows it isn't tandoori chicken unless it is cooked in a tandoori oven. :goes back to watching tapes of Food Network programs from 10-13 years ago, when it was all about real food and cooking: :alternates with Tony Bourdain:

If you look at Chimpy objectively ( I know, I know) he did a good job with setting the agenda, which as you said was driving the country through the guardrail and into the ditch.



Pursued equal justice thing has been scratching my head too. WTF???

Are you saying all these historians are "fair and balanced"? Granted the "wingnut" term is a bit of a stretch, but is that panel the same one that did the rankings in 2000? It also says some of those are "professional observers of the Presidency"

True indeed. But we're not the ones telling the other people how to run their sex lives. It's more the hypocrisy. I think prostitution should be legal.



Although those Nevada brothels are way out of my budget.
