Ray, I have to say I was very pleasantly surprise with what Congressman Michuad had to say this morning concerning the Spendulous bill. I often don't agree with Mr. Michuad but I did agree with him today.

I believe the Democrats should have cancelled their retreat. I would put that into the category of "we don't have to practice what we preach."

Maybe SanFran Nan was so distressed over her "500 million Americans losing their jobs each month" remark that she just had to get away! I pray to God that nothing happens to President Obama or Vice-President Biden becuase the spectre of a President Pelosi gives me nightmares!

Nice to know, that in her view, there are no employed Americans because the Spendulous bill hasn't passed.

Listening to the speech President Obama gave yesturday leaves me to believe that he's feeling the great pressure of the office already.

But, I'm sure his handlers will find more ways to blame it all on Bush.

Les,

Have to fear, President Obama is here and he will pass this bill or America may never recover.

Keep in mind, this was not the stress of the job and his off the cuff remark.

He wrote this in an Op-Ed in the Washington Post yesterday.

So it was read, re-read and then read again, before being delivered for publication

Went to an info meeting on wind power this morning and sat next to Saviello and Harvell.

How is that for bi-partisan behavior?

Ray Richardson said...

You really are scaring me Bruce. Maybe President Obama is having a real "Change" effect on you.

You are becoming quite the rascal.

That fishing photo really sucked me in, I thought it was you.

Tom is a great guy and I am just getting to know Lance, but so far, I like him.

Ray, I think it's our charming personalities and powers of persuasion that are slowly winning Bruce over.

Ray, don't feel bad about getting drawn in with his picture. I took the bait hook, line and sinker, too!

What a lovable rascal!

Please have all your listeners in Maine take the #TCOT Challenge at http://www.tcotreport.com . We have asked Senator Thune, Senator Cornyn, and Senator DeMint to present the results on Senate Floor to Senators Collins and Snowe Monday afternoon.

We will ask them to DO THE RIGHT THING and vote NO on the PORKULUS Package.

Can you help promote our worthy grassroots cause ?

The #TCOT Challenge link can be reached directly here:

The TCOT Report

The #TCOT Plan calls for immediately cutting income taxes in half for all of 2009 (A reduction in receipts of $800 billion)

The #TCOT Challenge asks residents of Maine and all the United States to compare their own personal economies under this approach with the wasteful "PORKULUS" plan that Senator Collins incorrectly states will "create jobs and turn the economy around."
