What a wonderful day because I know the neocon heads must be exploding! President Obama and the Democrats have been very, very, very busy over the last 24 hours…
- Hillary Clinton is now confirmed as the next Secretary of State
- Caroline Kennedy most likely will be Hillary’s replacement in the US Senate
- President Obama sent around a draft to close GITMO today
- President Obama is getting ready to issue an executive order (on Thursday) to lift the ban of federal funds for organizations that discuss or perform abortions in other countries
- President Obama orders a halt to the trials & prosecutions going on in GITMO
- President Obama is getting ready to issue an order to his administration for transparency, which goes against what the Bush Regime ordered for the last 8 years
- President Obama’s staff will not receive a pay increase over the next 4 years
- Seven of President Obama’s nominations have been confirmed, and it appears Tim Geithner as Treasury Secretary will also be easily confirmed this week too
- Former US Senator George Mitchell of Maine has been tapped by President Obama as an envoy to the Middle East
I had a feeling President Obama would start off on the left foot, even though many online had pretty much said he would be worse than George W. Bush. Well, there may be times when we are not happy with some of the decisions Obama makes, but I think we are going to be more surprised than not over what he does in the next 2-4 years. He has a huge shit pile to handle right now as we know, but I think the Democrats and a few republicans will do the right thing to get our nation back on track. The Democrats have some control right now and they had better listen to the American people who made this control possible!
Well Rush the lying drug addict ain’t none too happy,
He’s already spewing his special hatred and ignorance ….
I heard him earlier today too, Clif. A guy called in and said Rush was no different than Obama in rallying people and Rush’s head exploded right there on the air. The caller was correct in a way, except, Barack is rallying towards fixing the country while Rush rallies his troops against our country and our people!
It’s so much fun to watch and listen to, Clif. I’m enjoying myself. You? LOL
Clif, Rush even said he never gives out half truths to confuse his listeners with either! Good gawd, I almost drove off the road laughing hysterically.
BREAKING NEWS:Looks like Caroline Kennedy will be withdrawing from the vacant Senate position held by Hillary:

Rush hoping that Obama FAILS essentially hopes our NATION fails. His “love of our nation” is FAUX. He only likes the money printed at the U.S. Mint.
Only two senators voted against Hillary…David Vitter (R-LA) and Jim DeMint (R-SC). Vitter maybe denied Hillary since she would NEVER change his dirty diapers and DeMint is saying that since Hillary supports some foreign birth-control agencies, he could not vote for her saying, “I do not plan to slow up this nomination, but I do find it difficult to support a nominee who I know will pursue policies so contrary to American sovereignty and the dignity of the human person.” The culture wars will continue.
Grant, I just found this video of Ass Limbo over on Think Progress tonight:

According to Ass Limbo, America is a ‘banana republic’ now because Barack wants to allow the citizens of this country freedom of information. Bah hahahahahahaha! No-transparency in government means you are a democracy apparently! What an asshole.
