Has anything 'really' --- Changed?'
I've mentioned before--- my disappointment, with Obama's Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, and Larry Summers as Director for the National Economic Council...These guys, are just repackaged Regeanites and believe in the 'trickle down theory.'
{The concept, that if you do not tax the people who benefit the most from collectivism---they will invest in America, and provide 'good paying' jobs for Americans... }
There are maybe 30% of Americans that; 'work for a living' ... that still embrace this ideology...
At the end of the day: the more and more I see of Obama and his administration, the more I realize--- it's more of the same.
This is still a Corporatist Oligarchy...
'Change' has not come to America...
I only wish... he were as 'left,' as he is portrayed...and promised he would be.
This is left---

Really? Five months!?
I pulled this from the WSJ...
"This is President Obama's economy now," said House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R., Va.).
I can't even begin to speak to this...

Sotomayor Cartoon
The 'look' in the eyes of the GOP elephants is the greatest!If Sotomayor replaces Justice David Souter on the Supreme Court, she may well end up providing the fifth vote for a constitutional right to same-sex marriage or take out “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance.
This Senate Confirmation Hearing will no doubt be 'incredibily boring'--- compared to the Justice Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill sexual harassment charged hearing from years ago--- but you never know...
Texas Independence?
In The Progressive Magazine, 'No Comment' Section, they ran this...The State Department, listing the countries Secretary of State Hillary Rodam Clinton has visited, noted that she's taken trips to Europe, the Netherlands, Mexico, the Middle East, Asia, and Texas, Reports the Washington Post. The website provided a breakdown of 'trips by country' and included Texas along with France, Germany and Japan.
I tried to find a link to the countries listed on the DOS website but they had changed it to 'corners of the globe.'

Holy Crap! I thought, Reagan 'proved' deficits didn't matter!!!
Bernanke Says U.S. Must Focus on Cutting Deficit
The nation needs to "begin planning now" to reduce the budget deficit, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said today, arguing that even as the government acts to bolster the economy in the short run it must ensure that spending and revenue will come into line in the longer term.
"Congress and the administration face formidable near-term challenges that must be addressed," Bernanke told the House Budget Committee this morning, according to prepared testimony. But he warned that the economy will suffer "unless we demonstrate a strong commitment to fiscal sustainability in the longer term."
Bernanke even connected recent swings in the market for U.S. Treasury bonds to worries about the nation's long-term deficits. The interest rate that government must pay to borrow money for 10 years or more has risen sharply in the past two weeks, as investors in the United States and around the world have become more wary of the nation's growing debt load.

The Texas legislature ends tonight...
The Texas Legislature comes to an end tonight but might be headed for a special session... Rick Perry may call for a special session to look at CHIP and some transportation issues...tomorrow's newspapers and blogs should be full of the laws, bills and shenanigans that the TX lege spit out. I'll find some time over the next few days and find some highlights...
