Week 2

OK. The week ended with a Super Bowl almost as good as last year. I was watching all week to see when the country got complacent again before the Big Game, and sure enough both wall Street and Washington were pushed done the page, and sometimes put in the "Nation" section of the locals rags. Did anyone notice how inexpensive the TV commercial production was, the studio for Madden and Michaels? At least the dialogue of commercials has to be improved, in order to replace the bells and whistles? Instead, we read about things flaring up in Gaza, North Korea getting belligerent, and Terrorism in Kenya, Obama's fatherland. We got the list of guests at both Obama and Bidens' SB party. Why couldn't they hang out together? Biden was the 3rd Senator of PA, so he had specific interest in the Steelers. Obama most certainly got a huge donation from the Rooney's' , in part because Teresa Heinz Kerry owns Pittsburgh. Since her current husband couldn't beat Bush, Obama must've received her attention. What the government failed to recognize-a first slip- was "If we work on the weekend, if the nation sees us working through the Super Bowl(maybe an address to the nation on TV), not only will we lead by example in a new way, but things will get accomplished to days faster". Instead,what does team Obama do? Under the radar? He finalizes his pick for Commerce Secretary(after Bill Richardson(D NM) stepped down (because of a corruption investigation), and will name Conservative Reganite Judd Gregg (R NH) as soon as Monday afternoon. This not only puts a possible Neo-con at the post of Commerce, but the New Hampshire Governor, John Lynch(D) is planning to do the honorable thing and put a Republican in his place. This weakens the otherwise advantageous position the Democrats are showing in an era where they haven't had a total majority, and probably never will. But instead of CAPITALIZING, they want to play nice. Ok, so was Obama around-or any of his ingenious, brilliant-and totally unproven cabinet-when Bush-Cheney-Rove were stealing all of our money, getting our teenagers killed, and completely ignoring all states that didn't rhyme with Lexus? What a noble deed it is for the "above that" Dems to play nicey nicey. I didn't elect these clowns so they could hang out at the Super Bowl party with the people that robbed all of us for 20- years! Yale men, Harvard men, all those silver spoon babies, with their tostitos and Bud Light, single malt they can't really explain, seriously think that we stop paying attention on the weekend. Not this time, people. Just look at the energy in the Game last night-the crowd may have chanted "Recession! Recession!" Until the 4th quarter, most people were hoping to God the game was good enough to justify the next three years of family trips on a 4 hour ballgame, in which half the people leave broken-hearted, and the other half just broke. I love football-I don't gamble, but I watch sports and news-no movies, no shows) as don't get me wrong. But these days we cannot afford to take a break. Watch the game at work, Washington. Thank God both the Nationals and Orioles are terrible. The stimulus may not have passed till '10! Anyway, these problems are far too serious to slow up on, to give kudos to the other party, to wait on a solution across the world. The other Big events of the week to check in on:

What Republicans consider Unnecessary spending in the stimulus package(hint-banks, not people, need help first)

Michael Steel fmr Lt Governor of MD (R) was pawned up as the Republican National Committee, in a move that says howout oftouch Republicans are with the world, with their statement: "Hey we have a black guy, too!"
