Prime Minister Obama

Here is an exceprt I read yesterday in the National Review.

"...Most Americans don't yet grasp the scale of the Obama project. The naysayers complain, Oh, it's another Jimmy Carter, or It's the New Deal, or It's LBJ Great Society applied to health care. You should be so lucky. Forget these parochial nickel'n'dime comparisons. It's all those multiplied a gazillionfold nuclearized--or Europeanized, which is less dramatic but ultimately more lethal."

Do you realize what kind of national debt we are getting ourselves into. Did you know that at the beginning of the Nixon era the U.S. debted somewhere in the vicinity of $300 Billion. In one month, President Obama has effectively increased the debt by 46% to $1.7 Trillion, while all of the presidents since Nixon have only managed to increase the debt $700 Billion in total; Obama does it in a month.

The Weekend and Capitol Updates

Got through an 11 hour shift that left me with nearly $200. Though the night was extremely long and tough, it was great when it was all over and the sleep was well appreciated, though not enough.

This week in the Capitol we have Omnibus Bill votes, more appropriations, the beginning of Stem Cell Research, and more spending.

Thanks.

New Things

Tomorrow I have an interview with a congressional office for a position of Legislative Correspondent/Systems Administrator. Wish me luck!


Last night, David and I went to this bar called Granville Moore's. it is a Belgian Pub specializing in only Belgian beer as well as Moules, aka Mussels. They had beer there that was amazing, probably the best thing I have ever tasted out of a bottle. Expensive. But I think everyone should go there for at least one just for the experience.
