Hello Monday Morning

I know I am a nit picker. It seems like it was way, way back there to the beginning of last weekend when DHS declare our border secure, and that it was time for the Amnesty Program to get passed in congress. I know, we were all excited by this news, and were hoping to make all the illegals that are here US citizens so they can come out of the shadows. Then today, a full couple of days after the DHS announcement, I saw this:

National Park Service Putting Holes in Border Security

Could this mean that the DHS was not being completely honest with us? Say it ain't so , Joe! I know Tea O has promised Amnesty to all the Mexican lobbying groups, and to the Mexican government. But I think it is going to be a had sell when the border is as porous as ever, and our economy is in free fall.

Not that it matters what we think anymore.

And apparently Mr O dropped something when he was meeting the Emperor of Japan. Certainly he wasn't bowing and showing a monarch they we the United States is subservient. After all, that is what bowing to a Monarch means. So I am sure the official word will be he dropped something, just like when he didn't bow to the King of Saudi Arabia. It really doesn't matter what we think. It is what the world thinks that matters here. And to start any negotiations with a deep bow that symbolizes subservience is not a good way to play your hand.

Did you know that Mr O is the first President in the history of the USA to bow before any leader? That was a conscience decision by our founders. Not bowing has been a symbol that we are a free nation, and owe no allegiance to any Monarch. I guess that was another of the Founders ideas the new team has tossed out the window. It might also be why he doesn't seem to get anything besides a lecture overseas. But that is just my take on it.

And in this insane upsie down world John Stewart from Comedy Central is now a legitimate news organization. That is right, at least according to Anita Dunn and the White house.

Obama Aide Dunn Renews Criticism of Fox, Hails Jon Stewart

John Stewart is a funny guy, and I like his show, but really – are we so far down the looking glass that comedy shows are where the White House wants us to get our news?

Two of my favorite congressmen, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, want to reform the banking regulations. Talk about letting the foxes watch the chicken coops. Those two are directly responsible for a mafor part of the banking collapse. Now they are just trying to cover their tracks so they can get re-elected. And while all evidence points at them, their little stubby fingers have been pointing at everyone else.

It is just me, or has anyone else noticed that when Mr O leaves the country, Eric Holder immediately announces something crazy? Last time he announced he was going after the folks that worked for Bush, this time that the terrorists will be tried in NYC. Both times leaving Mr O in the clear as he is out of the country. You don't think he does that on purpose do you? Naw, I'm just being a conspiracy nut there.

Here is a surprise:

GM posts loss, vows to repay U.S. debt early

http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE5AF0SO20091116

CNN has a different spin..LOL:

GM to start repaying debt to U.S.

Although the automaker reported a $1.2 billion loss, GM said results have improved enough that it can start early repayment of loans to U.S. Treasury.

Didn't they just post that they were making money two weeks ago? They must not have their accounting staff fully run by the government yet. Odd twist of fate though. Government Motors losses money, Ford makes money, who would have ever thought that would happen? Hello Health secure borders, presidential bowcare!

Mondays always have so much sunshine in the news. Once again the recession is over, at least until Thursday.
