From Joan Walsh at Salon. After heaping praise on Obama, she writes:
There were jokes about how the fact that the normally prompt Obama started almost 45 minutes late could be the beginning of the end of Obama's media honeymoon -- how dare he keep the media waiting! -- but they were only jokes, for now. The reality is, Obama's media honeymoon won't end today, but it will end. We'll learn if the "working majority" he's trying to create will be strong enough to sustain him when that happens. . . .
But I did like this quote she pulled from an Obama speech:
"You have good reason to be angry after what's happened the last seven years," promising that when he's elected, "the days of Scooter Libby justice, Brownie incompetence and Karl Rove politics will finally be over."
Good talk.

“BUSH HAS TURNED THE WHITE HOUSE INTO A DEN OF THIEVES”
President Bush, Vice President Cheney and their executioner Lieutenant Rove have disregarded the values so cherished by the Republican Party. Their ideology have been to channel millions of dollars to those party members who have pledged total absolute loyalty to the Bush administration. This includes creating/channeling campaign funds for their elections, making appointments of the undeserving and/or unqualified boot lickers to high Federal offices and awarding large military/government contracts to thousands of companies that are owned directly or indirectly by his supporters. Many of these contracting companies are sham organizations and/or have no accountability.
We in the “South Eastern States” have surely suffered the most from the presidency of Bush. We are facing a very serious dilemma; we have a new strain of government corruption that is immune to the antibodies of the justice system as defined by the constitution which incudes: (a) Election fraud, (b) political favors for illegal campaign contributions (large oil companies, Tobacco Companies, Gambling Casinos, etc.), ( c) corrupt Bush appointed U.S Attorneys that spend millions of dollars profiling high ranking Democrats so that their offices can be freed up for a Bush operative and (d) Bush appointed U.S. Judges that removes the threat of a political comeback by giving maximum sentences with appeal denials and highly restricted correspondence.
Good points. Thanks for commenting.
