Funny how no one is talking about all the pork scattered amongst the $850 billion. So much for transparency!

I wait in anticipation to watch the evening news to hear the stock market tumbling today being attributed to President Obama's "watch".

Funny how there's so little discussion about how this inauguration is costing three times the amount of the 2004 event, with the greatest "contributions" coming from the financial industry (you know, the folks receiving the first bailout). In 2004 the cries of wasting money at a time of economic distress were overwhelming; now, when economic times are even worse, there isn't even a whisper. There's also been no coverage on the fact that Obama's plan to offer a $3000 tax credit to employers for each new job created was vetoed by the Democratic party leaders. Obama simply answered "okay"; he's such a good puppet! It's the first of many campaign promises to die, but certainly not the last. The next two years will be very interesting.
