Day: November 3, 2007

Democratic presidential wannabe Barack Obama is so busy running for President that he doesn’t have time to be a Senator.

Obama is making less than 25 percent of his votes in the Senate these days and begs the question of whether or not sitting Senators should be allowed to stay on the payroll while running for another office.

The question can be raised but it has been raised before and nothing has ever been done to change the system that allows Presidential candidates to double dip.

Too bad.

President George W. Bush claims his troop surge has led to “progress” in Iraq.

Of course, this is the same George W. Bush who said we would find weapons of mass destruction in that country and the same President who claimed “mission accomplished” over there in 2003.

Another day, another Presidential lie.

Even as a government agency, the Smithsonian must depend on donations to survive but that doesn’t mean they have to accept all donations.

The nation’s museum is questioning a $5 million grant from the American Petroleum Institute and putting the donation on hold.

A question of ethics over greed?
