You've Been Punked!

Any minute now, Ashton is going to jump out of the bushes and we are all going to realize the last two weeks was just another one of his stupid social experiments caught on tv. Right??? It has to be because otherwise, our new administration is the laughingstock of the world! You want change-don't expect it to come from the Clintonistas. What about the new appointees-they don't pay their taxes. All of the appointments, the closing of Gitmo and the stimulus bill that really isn't a stimulus bill are all a big fat joke. Let's break it down shall we?

Passed:
First big success was to pass the bill to push back the date when analog cable switches to digital because some Americans might not be ready. How in the world can we not be ready? They have been shoving it down our throats for two years now! If someone isn't ready by now or made the necessary changes, then they don't deserve to watch TV! There are terrorists who want to kill us, a world wide recession and a war in Iraq-who freaking cares about digital cable anyway???

Appointments:
1. Tim Geithner for Treasury Secretary -gets sworn in even though he "forgot to pay taxes".
2.Bill Richardson for Secretary of Commerce-failed to pay his taxes and withdraws his name for consideration.
3. Tom Daschle for Head of HHS-"forgets" to pay taxes and withdraws his name.
4.Nancy Killefer for a government performance officer, also doesn't pay taxes and(you guessed it) withdrew her name for consideration.

At this rate, the campaign slogan should have been "change, because we don't pay taxes, we have some left in our pockets!"

5. And the breaking news tonight is about the possible new head of the CIA, Leon Panetta. Basically, this guy got a boatload of money from banks who later got government bail out money and also has former dealings with firms that work with national security agencies. In layman's terms, he shits where he eats. He has already got a vested interest in certain agencies because his palms have been greased.

6. He says we cant afford 4 more years of Bush, but he keeps Defence Secretary Robert Gates who was appointed by Bush.

7.Hillary Clinton-Secretary of State. Well aside from the fact that she only really cares about Hillary Clinton, her husband's dealings and more importantly financial interests with foreign leaders clearly present a conflict of interest.

8. Eric Holder-Attny General. A Washington insider for 20 years.

9. Rahm Emanuel-Chief of Staff. Veteran Clinton administration

If you add up all of the Washington experience in the Obama cabinet, it equals 60 years. Not that experience is a bad thing, but when your campaign slogan is "change in Washington" then you had better deliver change. And in truth, his administration is the same "more of the same" he accused McCain of bringing.

He has been quite passive about the entire stimulus bill and it's almost as if he is a puppet in this game and Nancy Pelosi is really pulling the strings. If this stimulus bill doesn't go to help the people who need it the most but instead just creates more useless programs, then the people will realize whether they like it or not, that we have all been duped and our children's grandchildren will be still be paying for wasteful government spending that did nothing but make the recession worse. Kudos for the House Republicans for digging in and taking a stand against this! When it fails, and it will, the Democrats will have blood on their hands and no one to blame but themselves.
