Twittering the President’s Event with Mayors

As an aside, Obama’s Treasury Secretary is recommending that motorists be taxed by the number of miles they drive. A federally mandated GPS would be put in each car.
#1. There is already a tax for this. It’s called the federal gasoline tax. We pay a tax on gas and the more we drive, the more gas we buy and thus the more tax we pay. Apparently the geniuses in DC have forgotten that little tidbit.
#2. Most people have forgotten, but the Supreme Court said in the case Roe v Wade that a woman’s right to privacy was paramount and the reason for giving women the right to choose an abortion.
Now, if women have a right to privacy in order to kill the unborn, surely motorists have a right to privacy from the feds knowing where and how much we’re driving. Perhaps that’s entirely too sensible for the rocket scientists who now run our country.

Biden making mistakes is a given.
“Shovel ready” and “Chicago” are an excellent match.

Is the government website tracking the recovery blocking search engines?

gps in every car, well they can see excatly were you go, it costs money to put the gps in the car who pays you do, it takes people to over see this, who pays you do, probably in a monthly fee as well as the per mile charge, just another money grab, and who has stock in the gps that you have to buy,

“potus shaking hands and press is being escorted out before q and a”
—————————–
To be expected

and one more thing, they will still raise taxes on gas, if they say won’t they are full of it

huff n puff post is major lib news, are we surprised they lied, seems the norm for the libs these days

It’s understandable why there was no applause from the mayors when Obama said there would be a watch over of wasteful spending. They probably don’t want the examination any more than financial corporations on Wall Street want their toxic assets looked into, which is part of the Geithner bailout plan. As the old Beatles’ song goes: Here comes the sun, du du du du du ……….

“no applause from the mayors when Obama said there would be a watch over of wasteful spending.”
Maybe because it is a double standard? Wasteful spending and government are synonymous. A wasteful bloated federal government is going to look down upon city mayors for wasteful bloated spending… that’s rich.

Kat what is obama telling them do as I say not as I do again,

Exactly. Just like Obama told us last year that: “We can no longer drive our SUVs, eat as much as we want and heat our homes as 72 degrees. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.”
Then the NYT quoted David Axelrod (Obama’s senior advisor) as saying Obama likes the White House to be warm and keeps it warm enough to grow orchids. That’s greenhouse levels for those who don’t know about orchids.

ron, yea have we had our daily dose of the sky is falling today and we are in a crises yet, maybe he should tell us to go hide under the bed lol

stephanie obama says I didn’t cause this crisis, cry me a bloody river, its not my fault not my fault, he knew what he was getting into,if he didn’t he is a bigger dip than what we thought, why don’t you try to lead instead, rolling around on the floor chucking a tantrum

“We all need to lead some support,”
If he plans on putting GPS tracking in my car, he’ll get the wrong in of support from me.
Where are all the Patriot Act whiners when you need em.

Exactly. The libs were in full meltdown mode because the government could see what library books were being taken out at the library, for example.
Now they don’t seem to mind that their every movement will be tracked and taxed.

kat -
The NYT piece was accompanied by a picture. All the men had their jackets off. If Obama is cold, he should put on a jacket before turning up the heat. That’s what he tells us to do.
And everyone quoted in that NYT piece talked about how the temperature was set near 80 degrees.
Now, I don’t care who you are or where you are – that’s hot inside a house.
And I wouldn’t have a problem with it whatsoever provided Obama had not told us we couldn’t heat our homes at 72 degrees.
Now, I pay my own bills. You and other taxpayers don’t pay my heating bill. But we taxpayers pay to heat the White House.
Most of us have gotten quite a chuckle out of the hypocrisy and the google hits on this matter are hilarious.

Kat, government GPS tracking in your car, thumbs up or thumbs down?

Correction: THAT’S as likely to happen as a Monorail going from Las Vegas to LA with the stimulus funds. Dream on.
Though if you’re an underworked attorney, the alleged GPS in everyone’s car would be a quick jump on the gravy train for the millions of dollars the government would spend on defending the proposal. It would be a perfectly 100% winnable case for the plaintiffs vs the United States of America.
On a more serious note, don’t you realize we have a superb legal system in this country that would never allow it? Thinking a little bit is patriotic.

Oh, so you’re saying that the Transportation Secretary is a dreamer and working on unworkable plans?
***********************************************
No I’m saying a high speed train is not the same as a MONORAIL, which you keep insisting is going to built from Vegas to LA, over a good 500 miles across desert and mountain terrain. Do you not know the difference between a high speed train and a monorail?
