Keeping abreast of what is going on behind the scenes of the Obama administration is akin to trying to herd cats. The "reinvestment" legislation was crammed down followed shortly by more bailout money, then a mortgage rescue plan. The ominbus appropriations bill came shortly thereafter, earmarks aplenty, but don't lose sight of the census being quietly lifted out of the hands of the commerce department. How about that $900 million to help rebuild Gaza (Hamas?? good grief) after Israel retaliated against a year long barrage of missile fire from the area? Gosh, I wish I knew we had that $900 million to burn; we could use that money to pay down the DEFICIT that Mr. Obama so gallantly declared he would cut in half in two years after he doubled it in one week...then there's the nicely packaged "Employee Free Choice Act" which is anything but freedom for employees but lots of power for the unions. Did I mention the big down payment for "health care", what, $653 billion, when no plan has been debated, discussed or decided on? For a transparent administration, there's sure a lot going on in a hurry and behind the curtain.
It is like trying to handcuff an octopus to keep track of this guy.
