The Presidential Planner
EmailFrom Sunlen Miller
This morning President Obama will first hold his daily meetings, including a meeting with members of the National Economic Council.
Obama then will meet with the SAVE Award winner in the Oval office. Launched in September of this year, Obama challenged every federal employee to submit his or her ideas for cost-savings in the federal government, soliciting more than 38,000 entries from all over the country. The winner this year, Nancy Fichtner of Colorado, came up with the idea that patients leaving VA hospitals should be able to take unused medication home with them instead of throwing it away when they are discharged. Fichtner’s idea will be included in the president’s 2011 budget.
After meeting one-on-one with Fichtner in the Oval Office, Obama will deliver remarks about making government more efficient and effective in the Diplomatic Room. He will be joined by Fichtner as well
OMB Director Orszag and Veterans Affairs Secretary Shinseki.
In the afternoon, Obama will hold his weekly meeting with Secretary of State Hilary Clinton in the Oval Office.

Romney Takes Aim at Conservatives
Here’s an idea: let’s unload about half the Czar’s on the payroll. This is an expensive solution to run the executive branch.

WALL STREETS GREATEST FEAR…
( Who Really Crashed the Economy?)
“Mobs disrupt town meetings. Glenn Beck amplifies a careless remark by a mid-level White House staff member into a threat of a national communist takeover. The right wing spin machine creates a parent revolt over a presidential pep talk to students urging them to study hard and stay in school. Meanwhile, the Party of No blocks action on health care and climate disruption with lies and distortions and declares President Obama’s stimulus package a socialist plot and a failed waste of taxpayer money.
There is a common thread. Each of these media events has diverted attention from Wall Street’s responsibility for crashing the economy, taking trillions of dollars in public bailout money, and then rewarding itself with outlandish bonuses.
The Wall Street corporations funding the front organizations that orchestrate these and other diversions hope we will forget that America’s number one problem is Wall Street—and the overpaid Wall Street casino gamblers who destroyed our economy in a reckless test of the theory that markets can self-regulate and that the unrestrained pursuit of individual greed is beneficial to society.
Wall Street’s greatest fear is that the public might demand Congress and the president shut down the casino. Any issue that shifts attention away from Wall Street and pins the blame for job loss and mortgage foreclosures on President Obama works in its favor.”

Talk about greed look at 100 million going to some unknown hospital in an yet unnamed state to buy votes for a health overhaul, give Nebraska free medicaid forever to get 1 vote for this now 2 trillion dollar monstrosity, nowbody has actually read the final bill and how many more giveaways may be in it to get a vote. Need to vote them all out and get some congress person that will represent those who voted for them.

If you are trying to say that Obama should be left alone so he can clean up Wall Street, take a look at who surrounds him. He has no intention of doing anything.
