Some thoughts from Ron Reagan on Mr. Limbaugh

I saw this quote from Ron Reagan on Daily Kos. Ron Reagan is one of the positive things that I attribute to his Dad, former President Ronald Reagan. May he rest in peace.

I may not have appreciated the Reagan presidency in terms of politics and policy, but his son is an entirely different story. I'm glad that Ron is on our side.

Bless his heart and thanks to BarbinMD for bringing this to my/our/your attention.

Limbaugh hasn't had a natural erection since the Nixon Administration; think he's compensating for something? Now, I wouldn't pick on him for any of this stuff, not his blubbiness, not his man-boobs, not his inability to have a natural erection—none of that stuff—to me, off limits until! until! Mr. Limbaugh, you turn that sort of gun on somebody else—once you start doing that, you're fair game, fat boy. Absolutely, you jiggly pile of mess. You're just fair game, and you're going to get it, too.

Bipartisanship: President Obama responds to Republican Rep. Joe Barton's concerns about Bipartisanship

The President's Response (my own transcription):

I think you're making an important point and my response is I'm not in Congress so I don't want to inject myself into Congressional politics.

On the one hand, the majority has to be inclusive. On the other hand, the minority has to be constructive.

And so to the extent that on many of these issues we are able to break out of sort of the rigid day to day politics and think long-term, then what you should see I think is the majority saying what are you're ideas? The minority has got to then come up with those ideas and not just want to blow the thing up.

And you know I think that on some of these issues we're going to have some very real differences and presumably the majority will prevail unless the minority can block it.

But you're just going to have different philosophical approaches to some of these problems. But on the issue that was just raised here on procurement, on the issues, some of the issues on health care the way it cuts isn't even going to be Democratic or Republican. It's going to be maybe regional differences or a host of other difference and if that's... if we can stay focused on solving problems, then I will do what I can through my good offices to encourage the kind of cooperation you're encouraging um....

From MyBO: President-Elect Obama Arrives in Washington, D.C.

by Christopher Hass - Monday January 5 2009 06:57:15 PM

President-elect Barack Obama left Chicago and arrived in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, sixteen days before he will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. "I choked up a little bit," he admitted to reporters, as he left behind the city that he first arrived at in 1985 as a young community organizer.

The Obamas came to the capital early so their daughters could start classes today. This morning, President-elect Obama and Michelle helped their two daughters, Malia and Sasha, get ready for their first day of school:

President-elect Obama then headed to Capitol Hill, where he met individually with both Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to discuss the economic stimulus package that's expected to be one of the first priorities of the new Congress. In a brief statement to the press before his meeting with Speaker Pelosi, President-elect Obama explained:

The reason we are here today is because the people can't wait. We have an extraordinary economic challenge ahead of us. We are expecting a sobering job report at the end of the week. The speaker and her staff have been extraordinarily helpful in working with our team so we can shape an economic investment and recovery plan that will start to put people back to work.

Later in the day, President-elect Obama held a meeting with his top economic advisors at the Presidential transition team office in Washington D.C., including Treasury Secretary-designate Timothy Geithner.

On Change.gov, Dan McSwain reported:

“Not only do we need to act boldly, swiftly and with sufficient magnitude to make a difference, but we also have to do things in a new way,” President-elect Obama said.

In his meeting, President-elect Obama underscored the importance of his proposed American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan to create jobs and spur the type of lasting economic change that our country needs.

President-elect Obama also noted that he is “confident” that legislation dealing with his economic plan will maintain “unprecedented transparency.”

“Not only will Congress tell exactly what’s in the bill, but we’re exploring steps, for example, like putting on a website very detailed information about what kind of projects are taking place,” President-elect Obama said.

The 111th Congress will be sworn in tomorrow.

Activist Peon: GOP needs to confer with Liberals and Progressives before planning 'Activist' activities to make a point on Capitol Hill

Oil Man Inhofe Leads Political Stunt To Misdeliver Gas Receipts

From Michelle Malkin, “Several Republican members of Congress are asking constituents to send in their gas receipts” to be presented to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). The leader of this campaign is notorious global-warming denier, oil-industry apologist, and false populist Jim Inhofe (R-OK), who has received over one million dollars in lifetime contributions from the oil and gas industry:

Please mail me your gas receipts and a short note about what your family has had to sacrifice because of out-of-control prices at the pump. I’ll bundle together all the receipts and stories I receive and send them to Senator Reid. Together, we will send a message to Washington and show Harry Reid that high gas prices are hurting Oklahomans. read more here
