I am feeling: chipper
My new favorite news program is the Rachel Maddow show.
I am very impressed with President Obama's first few months in office. He has held up to his promises of closing Guantánamo Bay, ensuring equal pay for equal work for women, being a new president with new ideas of transparency (WWW.recovery.gov), he even understands the Internet! I just saw his proposed budget on the agenda listed at the official White House website. Now I know the spending to get out of this recession, or what some say is the beginning of a depression, is mind boggling but the projects this new bill has look good to me. They are new ideas that should bring us into the 21st century.
On a positive note I was amazed at the news that Ford has actually opened a new plant that is focusing on green vehicles. Ford is the only American car manufacturer who did not receive any stimulus money. I also saw an unnamed bank CEO? offer to except only one dollar as payment for one year. oh if that were so! I really wish that more financial institutions really owned up for what they did. It would be nice if we could see that people who were in charge of an appropriate lending practices were actually disciplined and even fired.
Well I'm tired of fighting MacSpeech to edit my inappropriately worded blog entry.
Hope to see you tomorrow.
