The Election Is Over
February 16th, 2009. Filed under: Monday's Musings.A UPI press release stated that President Barack Obama will sign the $787 billion economic stimulus plan in Denver. The president’s trip also includes a stop in Phoenix where he will meet Wednesday with residents facing home foreclosure. Obama has been in the White House less than a month and he’s been taking “road trips” all over the place. Sir, the campaigning is over. You already have the job.
Please stay home and help us out a little with the economic situation in this country. The fuel costs alone for Air Force One could make a lot of mortgage payments. We won’t even talk about the beefed up security that’s needed and all the additional expenses of taking the show on the road. These are serious times and we need you to show us some serious examples. We aren’t asking you to give up all your fun and weekly cocktail parties to win over more followers. Just show us a little restraint, please. We’re out here trying to scrape by and pay our bills and trying to figure out some way to get out of debt. We really don’t want to have to see you all over the place piling up more debt. Thank you for your understanding.
