What is he Thinking

We have to marvel at what is going on in the first twenty days of the Obama administration. For a man who ran on the whole concept of change in Washington, the only thing that seems to have changed is his stance. For anyone that read his book, "Audacity of Hope," this is no surprise.
In his book he talked about the way to eliminate corruption in politics, was to make everyone take public finance, to limit the amount of money any candidate would have to use and everyone would be on the same plane. Of course he was the only national candidate to refuse public financing. Way to go. I guess than it should be of no surprise that his nominations for cabinet posts are people who cheat on their taxes and accept, gifts that may appear to be questionable. Well so the guy has a lack of judgment when it comes to who he associates with.
What seems to be of more concern is the fact that he is filling all off the positions with politicians and lawyers. Not one person from business, the cure for the economy for these folks is to fix the environment, spend money on projects that won't create a job for at least eighteen months, and really will do nothing for the housing crisis. This would be like a family on the verge of bankruptcy borrowing money to get a new lawnmower, some fertilizer and spending time to clean up the yard. Hell they could just go look for employment elsewhere.
Now the real kicker is that while these fine individuals are racking up debt for our children, the economy is showing signs of turning. Yes indeed very early signs, but signs none the less. By the time the new package creates a job, unemployment will probably be down and we will have trouble filling it. Well just a few things to think about.
Oh one more thing. How can people be surprised that the government spent $350 billion. Without any accountability attached? Has there ever been any accountability with any money our government has ever spent?
