Please Stop Spending!

Does anyone else find it interesting that, when Obama was campaigning, he constantly said, "Let's be perfectly clear", as if he were going to run a transparent presidency?  

A good government is one "which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread that it has earned. - Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) (inaugural address)

Obviously, transparency is not the name-of-the-game for the Obama presidency.  The name of the game is celebrity, being the "I am the President of the United States", royalty family.   How many vacations does the family take?  They are publicized vacations and obviously on the taxpayer.    

Were we directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread. - Thomas Jefferson: Autobiography, 1821.

Isn't the presidential family supposed to be the example for the best dress and behavior of the United States of America?  

The greater the number of laws and enactments, the greater the number of thieves and robbers. - Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Also, when Obama was interviewed by Matt Lauer, being asked about the state of the educational system in the United States, Obama said something like, "You can't just throw money at a problem and expect it to be fixed".  I find that to be interesting, coming from the President who has taken the word "debt" to a new level.

For every action there is an equal and opposite government program.-Bob Wells

Tell your representatives that we don't need more spending.  We don't want our children for generations to have to pay for these expenditures!  Please stop spending my money!

Layoff Letterman! It's in bad taste!

Lay Off Letterman! It's in bad taste! Don't blame it on your writers. You are the one who delivered the lines and continue to promote them.

Palin eviscerates Letterman
After Letterman made crude sexual jokes about Palin looking like a 'slutty flight attendant' and her 14 year old daughter getting knocked up by Alex Rodriguez, Sarah Palin fought back -- and she is absolutely destroying the lame late night host. To demonstrate their seething hatred for Palin, many in the mainstream media are still trying to find the negative for Palin in this spat. Olbermann called her a 'delusional maniac' and Yahoo had this headline running all day calling her solid interview with Matt Lauer 'awkward' -- but all in all it's a fairly universal decision for Palin. Even Joy Behar and Barbara Walters took Palin's side on the matter today on The View. Glenn talks about how Palin is getting the best of it with Letterman.

Why can these guys get away with such poor taste and have most people in the media support them? Doesn't this remind you of Perez Hilton? We all know where that led in regard to Carrie Prejean.

Prejean, who also appeared on "Geraldo at Large," stood by her belief she was stripped of her title due to her political views.

"They are not going to tell the truth on a lot of things. I've heard I've missed 52 missed appearances. Since the press conference was only a month ago, that would be two a day," said Prejean.

She also says Lewis asked her to give him a "response in writing" over a Playboy partial nudity photo shoot — a request that "absolutely shocked" her.

So, essentially, the only way you can succeed in this world of ours is if you defame someone else's name or you hold a place on the planet as a victim and martyr, expect special attention and have zero values. Anyone else have a point of view on this subject matter?

It's sad that these type of issues have come to mean so much because there are so many REALLY important things, such as pay monitoring by the Treasury, beginning with TARP companies.
