Today's entry... .... .... ..... ....

Back on November 9, I posted an entry entitled:

Can a Black President keep his promises?

The gist of the entry was: so far in this Republic NO ONE has been able to?

Now sources within the President-elect’s team leak the following, under anonymity, of course say:

a. The Bush tax cuts will stay in place until they die in 2011.
b. The stimulus package instead of $175 or $275 billion as promised will be closer to $500 to $700 Billion.

Now I am not upset, I am not picking on the upcoming administration. As I said Nov 9th No one has kept all their promises yet FROM EITHER PARTY. They promise the moon then say: We won’t be able to do this because….

What I said was: nothing has changed, the economic outlook is the same. Problem is, once elected it is now time for someone to put up or tell why not. The political excuses are already coming in.

I did like one statement by Axelrod. “The Big Three exec’s flew in, in their corporate jets to ask for money and they left empty handed. I hope they fly in commercial with a different plan after Jan 20th.” I agree whole heartedly!

We the public are tired of CEO’s getting OUTRAGEOUS bonuses while their companies lose money.
WE are tired of high priced parties at tax payer’s expense.

When we are asked to tighten our belts, we expect everyone to (Including politicians and CEO’s).

I said it here, I hope President Obama is the best president we have ever had. I hope the changes are not to give the farm away or kill the goose that lays the golden egg. But as in the past, we will just have to wait and see, huh?

By the way, I have not been invited to the inaugural have you? That is a joke, I don’t like crowds I may watch on TV.

Take care, God Bless America and God Bless the VET!

PS:
WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT? (Taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)

When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.

They show us and talk to us about the colors of the flowers and also why we shouldn't step on 'cracks.'

They don't say, 'Hurry up.'

Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes.
