Actually, the 'Big O' nomen was first applied to Oscar Robinson, a former NBA star when 'star' was only used to designate true 'stars', and not every player scoring five points in a basketball game.

One of the first things the new President did was to appoint Rahm Emmanuel to chief of staff. Emmanuel is a harsh partisan, and his appointment as chief of staff had been previously denied by Obama during the campaign. And of course, we're also supposed to forget his connection with the disgraced Illinois governor, Rod Blagojevich---not to mention Presidential friends and confidants Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers. Naturally, the Obama administration has denied any wrongdoing or connections.
Mark January 20, 2009 as the beginning of the end of America's superpower status. Not only that, but an ailing economy will be given a dose of poison. It's past health will determine how much damage can be done. The Liberals have pulled the wool over the eyes of the electorate majority, and now we're going to see just how much damage the Liberal/Socialists will do to us.

Seen in a recent email from my brother:
'PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to the recent economic crisis, stock market crash, budget cuts,
rising unemployment, unstable world conditions, outsourcing of
business, the cost of insurance, electricity, petroleum and taxes of
all kinds, we regret to advise you that the Light at the End of the
Tunnel has been turned off until further notice.
We apologize for any inconvenience.'

Sad to say, apparently a meteorite landed in Westchester County a few months ago with quite a boom. The newspaper article was short and to the point, but the comments had a distinctly juvenile flavor. Virtually all I read were concentrated on the 'Alien vs Earthman' concept. Earth to the newest generations!! Is anyone there?

'Excuses' is the major new industry in the 21st Century. True to the Democrat/Liberal way of life, no one is responsible for anything. It's always the other guy, be he a business owner, rich man or woman, Republican or Conservative, or average white male. And that's part of the problem plaguing the new years of the 21st Century. Blame it on Bush. Blame it on Republicans or Conservatives. Run and hide from the truth. Be sure you have an excuse when you're caught. It was drugs, alcohol or national economic poison pills or the racism---which I see mostly in the black community. Surely, these Liberal/Socialists were forced on you? Or did you choose to partake and be sucked into the trap?

President Obama says that handing out the AIG bonuses is 'hard to understand.' I find his comment hard to understand. During the campaign numerous voices were raised telling all Americans how Obama lacked the experience and executive know-how to run the country. Being an ego-driven socialist at heart, Obama has added the 'I' to 'run the country' thus creating a phrase 'ruin the country.'
Bonuses are contractual in many companies, and in AIG they're probably going to people who had little or no responsibility for the virtual collapse. And these are just the people needed to bring the company back to health. Thus, if Congress is going to tax them 90%, these people might bolt to other companies who actually appreciate their abilities. Besides, the specific 90% tax is probably unconstitutional. And it is being put into place to cover the Democrat screw-ups, such as Senator Dodd's amendment 'protecting' the bonuses, and the whole spending spree in general. If this is a sign of how the 'government ownership' will be plyed, the free market system is in for a beating.
Is it any coincidence that some Europeans are calling for the demise of the dollar as an International currency? And what is Obama doing while these things are going on? Bowling, picking NCAA brackets, and appearing on a late night comedy-variety show---surprisingly without teleprompters---thus his spoken gaff? He's letting his socialist, tax evading appointees to do the dirty work.

Actually, the public should be hopping mad. Not about the AIG bonuses, but against the billions of $$$ of pork in the spending bills. That's the real waste in the economy. Not only are $$$ being sent for pork projects, money is going to socialist groups like ACORN---though Obama and friends claim to never have known the group. Obama worked for them, but he doesn't remember it. Besides, the current spending spree is very ill advised and not going to solve our economic problems---only expand them.
President Obama is not only spending money like a drunken sailor, but he is presiding over the unconstitutional AIG bonus tax; at least $1 trillion in new taxes---notably on the job and economic providers; a huge deficit and public debt because of the poorly structured 'stimulus' bills, and everything else he and his henchmen touch.
It'll be 2010 before we can do anything about this. And in that election we can at least make our voices heard in Congress. But right now, if we got rid of Obama, we'd be stuck with the fumbling ninny, Joe Biden. And after him is screaming mimi Nancy Pelosi, and then the sometimes incoherent socialist Harry Reid---who needs no other introduction. We have to go down the list until we reach Joe the Plumber before we can appoint a reasonable person.
Good luck my friends, it's going to be a rocky future.
