SOS Clinton Says World Telling Her Obama Heard Their SOS Of Despair Over Bush

Bill never inhaled, but now we have proof that Hill did.

Clinton says world "exhaling" with Obama at top
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suggested on Tuesday the world was breathing a sigh of relief that President Barack Obama had replaced George W. Bush and was working to fix the damage he had caused.

In her first news conference as top U.S. diplomat, Clinton said excitement over the change in power was "reinforced time and time again" during her welcome calls in recent days with foreign counterparts.

"There is a great exhalation of breath going on in the world as people express their appreciation for the new direction that's being set and the team that is put together by the president," Clinton said.

"We have a lot of damage to repair."

Let's see, Bush toppled two brutal regimes and freed over 50 million people. I think the damage these 'leaders' are talking about is to their pocket books since they can't sell Iraq and Afghanistan weapons and get kick backs.

As for their appreciation for the new direction and the team Obama has put together it's probably because they appreciate that is again back to business as it was under Clinton and Carter, which is always great for despots.

From their point of view this is good. We wouldn't want some despots in a funky little despair, now would we....

Geithner: Why Would 10 Republicans Vote for Him?

I was enjoying a multiple hour layover in the Atlanta airport when news of the swearing in ofTimothy F. Geithner, of New York, to be Secretary of the Treasury was announced on CNN.

Of the approximately 100 people in the room I couldn't see anyone else that seemed to care that a liar and a crook was just placed in charge of the United States treasury.

Nor did anyone seem to care that 10 Republican senators voted for a guy who says he didn't understand his tax forms, but thought he could be in charge of taxes.

So, which 10 Republicans voted for Obama's indispensable man?

Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)
Ensign (R-NV)
Graham (R-SC)
Gregg (R-NH)
Hatch (R-UT)
Shelby (R-AL)
Snowe (R-ME)
Voinovich (R-OH)

These 10 Republicans just gave Obama a pass card to do what he wants. They will help.

Next up will be when the congress finds out for sure if they can roll Obama. Look for the continuing resolution which will be lit up like a Christmas tree with earmarks. If the Obama doesn't veto it, they have him.

Then it will be business as usual for the Democrat controlled congress and Obama. Quid pro quo. With our money and our lives and our rights and freedom.
