I have to say that I think the hardest workers in the White House are the people taking the Videos and the Pictures. All I see on the White House Administration’s webs sites are pictures and video’s of the President and his cabinet.I think it is time to end these photo opts and let us get down to the work at hand. We had seen sweeping policy changes and spending bills that frankly have this writer a bit nervous because of the unprecedented amount of them.
I was taking to a friend the other night who is a Strong Obama supporter.He told me that he was tired of seeing the President on TV every day. He said that it seems that our President likes to hear his own voice. This made me think about what he was saying and he seems to be correct. I say enough with the pictures and videos.It is time to govern. I am ready to do my part, but I want to make sure that our government does it part and not head us down a path we cannot recover from.
I wanted this write this open letter to you to inform you that I am enraged by your actions at the President’s Address to the congress on Tuesday February 24, 2009.I saw you stand up and make childish gestures to your republican counterparts during the speech.What are you in second grade? Really, start acting responsible.
These actions along with the comments you made on the Senate floor about that, “We Americans do not mine porky projects” are unacceptable.These actions will influence my voting for you when your term is up. I know you may think one persons vote may not matter to you, but I can assure you I will tell anyone who will listen what your actions were in these matters.
As always, I am watching the going on in Washington and I have observed something very disturbing. Is it me or has the founding idea of our government which is “By the People, for the People” has now become for the Democratic, Republicans, special interest, the lobbyist, or corporate America.This is what our county has become.Our election officials seem to be more concerned about the aforementioned and not for us the American people.
You know when our fore fathers founded this nation; they did it to create a government that would be fair and just to its people. Therefore, I ask you when will we as Americans wake up and let our representatives know how we feel. It is up to all of us to let our feeling known. I feel that we are at a crossroad here in the United States; we may be heading down a road to lose what our fore fathers fought for! Do you want us to become a nation of government to govern by the sole whims of each party or groups or should it be a government Of the People, For the People. It is time for this nation to go back to our basic principles, which made this county great! We have to end all the corruption and greed in Washington. You see the Stimulus Bill passed this week. Can you believe our senators and congressional representatives voted on it without them really reading it or have some debate about it?
This is what I mean by we are not governed by the people it is the fat cat’s and special interest who created this and if we as a people keep allowing our representatives to govern this way then we have nothing to complain about. As for me, I am keeping track of them, all of them, and when I go to vote on Election Day, I will remember what has transpired. It is time for all of us to stand up and let them know in Washington it is time for real change not what is a catchy phase or buzz word. We need the government to get back to governing and not playing with our democracy! I am tired of Photo Opts. I want America Back!

I came across this music video. I wanted to share it with you all. Listen to the meaning of it.
I am posting the link to The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. When you get sometime read it. You'll be doing more then our elected officials did with it.
It was shocking to hear our President addressing the House Democrats at their annual retreat at the Kingsmill Resort and Spa last night.He talked down the cable news channels reporting of the Stimulus bill. I assumed that we here in the United States have the right to our opinions. We as Americans can watch and listen to what we please and we make the choice and decide if we agree or disagree with it. Why is it that the Right or the Left assume that everyone who do not subscribe to their ideas need to be told what to think and are not able to make a choice or a decision? Granted the Democrats won the majority of the election but we the people have a right to know where and how our tax monies are spent. In addition, I am “sorry” that the American Public is waking up and voicing their concerns on “THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT PLAN”.
It seems that the more that the information concerning the Stimulus bill is known, the less of the American people are supporting it.A trillion dollars is a lot of money, and I am not saying that we do not need a stimulus, but I thought that it was going to be a job creation stimulus.I am all for the following. Repairing the roads, working on the electric grid, getting us off foreign Oil by using Solar, wind, clean coal, Bio Fuels, and Drilling at home for oil and gas.I am also for funding unemployment insurance, Food Stamps, helping people that face foreclosure or heading toward it.Spending that create sustainable jobs in the economy, not items that would normally be considered earmarks disguised as stimulus.
The Democrats have the majority in the House and Senate, so they do not need the support of the Republican’s, but why are they seeking it? You know why, because if it fails they cannot shoulder the blame alone. By having it a by partisan effort, this will assure the Democrats’ that when re-election time comes around, they can say it wasn’t them alone and then try to maintain their majority in both houses. Listen, the Republicans also screw up when they had the majority. I have seen in my lifetime that it is a cycle in Washington. Each party gets drunk with the power and money.This election was for REAL CHANGE! It is time for government to come clean in all aspects. Therefore, Mr. President you can stand there and scold the “cable chatter” but remember you serve in office at the pleasure of the American People and when your time is up for re-election, we always have the last word.
Tax Problems for Thomas A. Daschle, Secretary Designate for the Department of Health and Human Services
Well everyone I have yet another person to add to our list of the Obama Administration who did not pay there taxes. Thomas Daschle seems to make several error’s in his taxes for the following years 2005, 2006, and 2007. This included the uses of a car service that was provided to him by private equity firm. This also included amounts due for unreported consulting fees and donations that didn’t qualify for tax deductions and his Medicare Insurance payments. Below I have broken it down for you.
May 2007 consulting payment of $83,333 from InterMedia, which paid him that amount each month. The tax forms provided to Daschle by InterMedia for 2007 didn’t include the payment because the money was transferred by a different method that month by a temporary clerk, InterMedia officials reported at his hearing. Daschle had more tax problems because he couldn’t show that almost $15,000 in charitable contributions went to qualifying organizations, according to the reports. He and his wife, Linda, made $276,000 in charitable contributions during the three-year period also being studied by the panel.
To top it off the former senator has agreed that he will have to adjust again his 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax returns because he didn’t pay Medicare taxes on the additional taxable income he incurred with the use of the car, the Finance Committee staff reported. Ironically as Health and Human Services secretary, Daschle would oversee Medicare, the insurance program for the elderly and disabled which he did not make his proper payments to.
