| Hear hear. Honestly, the only way it looks like things will change in California is if the politicians there grow some balls (not gonna happen) or they rip up the state's constitution and start from scratch and create a framework that's more manageable. They really do need to start fresh. Changing ... |

| The mission now includes Pakistan because of 9/11? That's flimsy logic considering the attackers were Saudi. Among the biggest questions being asked in the White House is whether the Afghan government can be a reliable partner in economic development and improved governance — especially in the wake... |

| Hey Brownshirt, I build networks not cars. I'm also the Boss not one of the peons. But spent 30 years as one of them. It doesn't take too much to figure out: A: the less you pay the shittier the worker you get, an]d the one who offers to work for less is the first you fire because they already know... |

| Republican policy at its finest. Cut essential services to reduce taxes and buy votes. Then OOOOOPPPPS, I guess we need to hire back all those forest-fire fighters we didn't think we needed. Oh wait, how are we going to pay them? If you want to trim government spending, you have to pick the right p... |

| Well, I would like to see if the mayor is good on his word, because this is highly illegal. I can only imagine a civil suit would emerge and him being impeached out of his position? Seriously, trying to govern people's spending? The mayor needs to give the unions a rude awakening and not his employe... |

Or...if you didn't care, but thought people were dumb enough to believe you did no matter what you did, you'd leave your flood lights on so people could see your pretty trees like Al Gore did. I mainly do it because I want to use a... |

| I am really confused about the communication between Obama and Geithner. Is there any? 3 weeks ago, Obama came out and said Geithner would have a plan laid out by the next day. Geithner then says it will be laid out in 2 weeks. 1 week late and still nothing. These communication issues need to be iro... |

| I gave him the benifit of the doubt. The inaguration did fill me with hope that maybe he can do good things for the country. Fast forward 2 months and I don't like what I see. The man is a hollow shell with little substance. He knew about the AIG bonuses well before the story leaked out to the media... |

| Thanks for setting the precedent. Now we can expect you to pay every cent of the bail-out "loan" back right. A precident would be set if they took back the money. Having the government tear up contracts on a populist whim is not good. Once the government decides this contract shouldn't be... |

IIRC Ford hasn't received any bailout money (at least in the US). Ford just wants the same program in Canada that's in the US currently. |

| I doubt the sheen will wear off Obama any time soon, at least according to polls. Most Americans still blame the previous administration adn will continue to do so for some months to come. Personally, I don't see how Bush's approach is any different than Obama's. They are both writing huge cheques ... |
