Ramblings

Well, as usual, President Obama didn't answer the questions...he filibustered and repeated himself several times during the same "so called" answer. Does anyone know if he will veto any budget, if his proposed tax cuts are taken out, as the House Democrats are planning???? He wouldn't answer. When asked if he thought his 4 year plan would raise the deficit too much he said "I will remind you that I was given a 1 1/2 trillion deficit from the previous administration." I guess keeping the country safe from terrorism for 7 1/2 years, persecuting 2 wars and creating a whole new Department of Home Land Security doesn't count. Obama is proposing to increase the deficit 3 times greater than Bush did, with increased spending. In fact, President Obama is going to spend more in 4 years than ALL the spending of all previous Presidents combined, starting with George Washington. It sounds like there are a few Democrats that understand that this kind of spending can not be sustained. Let's Hope!!!!
While I'm at it......If gasoline and heating oil taxes go up (Obama's energy tax proposal), if he allows President Bush's tax cuts to expire, which will mean less in our paycheck and he reduces tax exemptions on charitable contributions.....wouldn't that mean we will have less to spend to help improve the economy??? Isn't that, in effect, a tax increase?? Smoke and Mirrors....The Democrats are experts at it!! And the audacity of Obama to even hint that US soldiers, wounded in battle, may have to pay for their own insurance to cover their medical expenses, as a means to save money!! That is truely outrageous and just proves he is NOT a friend of the US military!
Did you watch Jay Leno last night? Condoleeza Rice was on. What a woman of grace, humility, wit and diplomacy! She said she willing to let the current administration run things their way, with their ideas and keep her personal opinions and advice quiet. She said "We had our turn to run things, now it's their turn." I guess she is following Clinton and Carter's lead!!!! She did say that history will judge President Bush quite favorably and wishes others could have got to know him like she did.
Condi & Sara for President and VP!!!
