Obama - 44th President of the United States

A brief congratulations to Chief Justice Roberts on his "first" swearing-in ceremony of a president of the United States, this day, Tuesday, January 2oth, 2009.

And congratulations to President and Mrs. Barack Hussein Obama for what is a magnificent day for them, their daughters, and their many supporters throughout the United States and the world.  The Middle Eastern supporters should be relieved for now they have a US president who is clearly willing to "talk" with them, a trait they value only in so far as it allows them more time to regroup.

I do wish our new President well.  He will not receive anything like the daily, hourly, castigation that President George W. Bush received from the unrelenting and disgusting TV and print media.  They all have too much of themselves invested in President Obama to allow one hint of truth or failure to be passed on to us, We the People.  Obama, now president, is their man - or so they think.

I wish our new President well for us, but Leon Penetta (sp) as head of the CIA - Good gawd 'amighty!  That can't be true?

Tonight and this week will host parties and celebrations throughout Washington, D.C.  We have Pelosi who has already thrown down the gauntlet in her own sweet powerful way protecting her turf - see the Drudge Report today.

President Obama has many challenges ahead of him and bloggers have a few more things to write before our freedom of speech is taken away.  Talk radio could be on its way out with the "Fairness Doctrine" and the masterful liberal talk radio guy - Franken - may, God forbid, be going into the Senate.  Not a bad place for a washed-up radio guy when you consider all the "air time" he'll get on the floor of the Senate and not be held legally responsible for a word he says there amongst the "greatest deliberative body in the world."  Please....

I do hope that Mrs. First Lady Obama will have more to be proud of her country for now but time will tell.  Rumor has it that she's gonna get a salary!  What?  Certainly that can't be true.  Being First Lady is not an elected office and it's not an "appointed" office.  It's no office at all although we do pay for her to have a staff/personnel, etc.

Well, tonight's a big time.  I missed the inauguration.  Just slipped my mind;  I was watching the Second Series of "Bones."  Oh, well...did catch the inauguration/swearing-in on YouTube.

I'm just looking forward to Jeremiah Wright, Jr. coming back as the President's spiritual advisor;  Tony Rezko getting a pardon;  and all that other yummy stuff like State Department things, CIA leaks, and leaks from the Chief of Staff.  I do wish President Obama well but here's one example of things to come.

A family member paid an electrical utility bill for the month before last month - 89.00.  This next bill - where hardly any electricity is used, appliances are unplugged when not in use, heat never over 60 degrees in the house - bill was 177.00.   Can hardly wait to see what next month's bill will be. 

And the government's new spending on programs (read higher taxes) hasn't even started yet.   Are we in trouble, yet?

Happy Inauguration Day!  Another bloodless change of government/power.  Don't be fooled.  The blood will come from your pocketbook, from your sweat and tears.  And when you cannot buy needed food and such for your family, will you please for one minute don't blame conservatives...

In fairness, I must acknowledge that Obama still has to get his foot in the door of power for us to see what's gonna happen.  And I must give full credit to the power/ruthless power of San Fran Nan (Pelosi - speaker of the house).  We'll have to see how the honeymoon goes between that wonderful duo of Pelosi and Reid with combined with the Executive.  Three could get a bit crowded when it comes to power.

The very best we can hope and pray for is "fewer" bills passed.  Also, that the analysts who have warned us of terrorist attacks on American soil within 6 months of President Obama's inauguration.  Don't you just loath the CYA folks who warn us and then, if we are hit, will stand back and say - wringing their hands of course - "We told you so; we told you so!"  What are we supposed to do, haul our Howitzers (sp) out of the basement and defend ourselves?

Well, President Obama has the power now and will receive briefings often - please not from Leon - so He will keep us safe without taking more of our freedoms...  Of course.  The Islamic terrorists waited nearly 9 months after President Bush's inauguration to take down the - well, you know what they did.

But, again, we have three branches of government.  No one branch is in this alone and remember what many failed to remember under Bush, the Legislative Branch, specifically the House of Representatives SPENDS our tax dollars.

Well, keep your head down, your hearts open, and listen to talk radio and conservative columnists for as long as they have the freedom to speak...

And watch out for the North American Union or the dissolution of the US according the Russian analyst...  Our government is working on the NAU, weakening the dollar helps, and I'm not sure who's working on the latter.
