Poltical Round-up

Bush 2009 Budget Plan While it’s too early to tell how Bush’s 2009 budget proposal will stand it is concerning that the rumors are that said plan would once more harm the poor and middle class once more. But then I have a problem with any budget, from any party, that continues to have rampant needless pork barrel projects and tax-payer funded allocations while the government continues to go into debt and punish poor and middle class America in the process by gutting programs or allowing private companies to reap huge profits for “running them more cost effectively” through overpriced government contracts. It is inexcusable and irresponsible behavior that must end immediately.

Which leads to one of my favorite quotes of which today I was reminded:

The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become a legalized version of the first! –Thomas Jefferson

Obama, Clinton Debate Entertaining to watch if nothing more than to enjoy the snarkiness. Still, my preference is for the experienced Clinton over the fluff of Obama. But then I am a moderate Republican so take from that what you will. I did like Clinton reminding all that she is as much an agent of change for the party and the country by virtue of her gender as Obama is for his race. It was a valid point.

McCain got Schwarzenegger’s support today which is a good boost for Mr. McCain in California.

I still think a McCain vs Clinton presidential race would be all sorts of awesome to watch and partake in.
