This is really good news. I'll let Hannity do the bashing for Tim Geithner and Eric Holder. But just be mindful Eric Holder opened pandora's box for the Prosecution of Cheney and Bush. The Justice Department has nothing to do with the President.

If that doesn't work; maybe the Hague will. That's not bashing; it's justice

Interesting that the confirmation of senior cabinet positions has not been accomplished, especially with the huge Democratic majority in the Senate.

The Inauguration of Barack Obama, Our 44th President

Today is beautiful, sunny, cold and snowy,
It is a day after the remembrance of our civil rights King;
Today is forever engraved in the history
Of America. This is the day that we all sing
And rejoice: an African-American family will be residing,
At the most powerful house ever existed.
The ceremonies are more grandiose than the wedding
Of a fairy tale’s king, the history books are elated;
At last, the color of one’s skin is beginning
To be irrelevant, unimportant in today’s society.
This is a monumental step to the promise land,
This is a giant leap, this is defying the gravity
Of ignorance. “If you ask or demand,
You shall receive”; America is on her way to the mountaintop.
All of us shall overcome another beautiful day,
We are on our way; yes, we are on our way
To the highest point, we have one harder lap,
This will take us a little more time.
What’s so important is that we can see the light,
We can hear a different sound, a beautiful chime,
The sound of unity, the ring of the bell fight.
Today is beautiful, the invisible rainbow
Is upon us. Let blow the shell-fish horn,
The sound of freedom and liberty. Let’s bow
Our head and pray for America, who almost got torn
By the ignorance of men. We are on our way,
Because the struggle is not over, we have some unfinished business.
This is the beginning of a wonderful journey;
At last, we can get together to clean that mess.
Yes, we can, brother Barack Obama is our President.
We have come along way, we forgive but we don’t forget
The past suffering, the injustice and the constant
Humiliation of our human dignity. It is great to finally get
Together at this juncture of history. We are on our way
To the top of the world; this is a beautiful day.

Speaking of Kennedy resting maybe I'm just getting old, but I can't see after a day like Obama has had, the breakfast with GWB, the speech, the parade, walking, greetings, waving, handshakes and the immense internal intensity he must have felt all day, how in the world could someone still have enough energy to go to several balls this evening? Maybe a short nap with a couple shots of boubon would help. Does Obama drink?

Merry Maid:

We write comments then hit that little button that says "Submit". Then moderators determine what coments to post. So if they are posting too many of mine or Beverlys, or Eagles comments then complain to them for wasting space (in your mind that is). Not to us. We can do what we need to do and still submit comments. And I'll bet Beverly could clean two houses while still commenting as she does. It's called multi-tasking. I always thought the saying went Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary. But now I see it is Merry Maid, Quite Contrary. Oh crap, now see the space you made me waste.

I am amazed someone would be SO shocked that a senator would want more information on Hillary before confirming her! He is CLEARLY looking out for his constituents, rather than being starstruck and blindly confirming her. If all is legit in her husband's charity, than confirmation is good. But the Texas Senator should be thanked for doing his job properly!

But now we have the old democrat machine and Hollywood runnung the show. I feel soooooo much better. Maybe the Dems will come to their senses and not confirm Billary. Other than that, when to stuff really hits the fan, and it will, e shall see if this President can actually lead in spite of his cabinet. By the way, is Merry Maid really your name?

Sorry CA and Bev but Merry Maid does have a point.

If the current nominee for Secretary of the Treasury gets approved, does that give every American tax payer the right or privilege to "forget" to pay their federal income tax for the next four years? Just curious.

Has this country gone mad? Isn't the definition of bigotry and prejudice that decisions are made based on skin color? B. Hussein Obama was elected because of his skin color - not because he is qualified. He is inexperienced in foreign affairs, running any government, and has no military experience. Why does everyone think he is such a hero? I don't get it. This country was way overdo for a black president, just not this guy.

Inauguration 2009

My Mexican friends coined a new verb
for the inauguration. Obamanos (Let's Obama)

Passing the baton, a delicate moment
in a relay, adroitly transitioning,

balancing two acts simultaneously,
racing and handing off, separating

winners and losers, successes or failures,
victories or defeats. It is poetry-the rhymes

and meters of the will synchronizing
to the music of the human spirit.

Obamanos!

TO ALL WHO WILL VOTE FOR CONFIRMATATION OF TREASURY SECRETARY:

Since the age of 14 I've known I had to pay social security taxes and income taxes. I am now 72 and CANNOT believe anyone who has held a job or had any bookkeeping training does not realize that these taxes have to be paid either by the employee or the employer. TIM GEITHNER has to be the most stupid choice for Secretary of Treasury in existence! The news media recently reported a letter received from the IRS to a man who owed $.05 ( that's right 5 cents on his back taxes) The following day he received another letter stating he was due a $.04 refund check from the IRS but they could not return it to him because they could not write a check for less than $ 1.00. Total postage spent was more than both amounts put together. Yet, the IRS let Tim get away without paying past due taxes of over $ 30,000 for years. Seems to me we have ENOUGH DUMMIES in the Treasury Department without adding a Leader to oversee them (let alone the bailouts) who is either ignorant, dishonest, unethical or all! Of course, common sense might be something NEW in government.

VOTE NO TO CONFIRM TIM GEITHNER AS SECRETARY OF TREASURY!!!!!!!

One Angry U.S. Citizen who has some common sense and knows how to keep books!

I also agree Mr.Tim Geithner should not be appointed to Secretary of Treasury. I do not believe anyone in the position he has held did not realize the tax laws of our country. I also firmly believe the IRS should not have told him he would not have to pay the penalties; the rest of us Citizens of this country have had to pay our penalties even when we have had tax prepares prepare our taxes. I would certainly like to have the IRS explain that to me and others I know who have had to pay and did so without questioning.
