The title of this diary sums up what our new President has been doing since taking office...Taking Care of Business! I for one am thoroughly pleased and impressed with his efforts. And while some wish for him to fail, and others concern themselves with questions wondering why he doesn't wear a jacket in the Oval Office or why the First Lady goes "sleeveless", Prez O just keeps doing what he does best...TCB!

OK, was it me, or did Jindal remind anyone of Mr. Rogers?

Yesterday, Joe Scarborugh wrote a post on HuffingtonPost. It was a pretty good article.

What can a good Republican say about the week that has unfolded?

I'm not sure.

Barack Obama has captured the imagination not only of Washington and America, but also of the world.

He has delivered the most compelling inaugural speech in 48 years.

But I should of known it wouldn't last.

The only winner in the McCain camp is "Joe the Plumber". Here was a basic nobody who was plucked out of his nobody little world and gained fame. The man supposedly now has a record deal, a book deal, has a publicist and...(gulp)...plans to run for Congress! (Not to mention the money he received for campaiging for McCain). Wow! Before this election Joe was an average person, struggling with his mounting debt. A man trying to figure out how to pay those back taxes (that they thought no one would find out about). And now...a celebrity (?). Lord I hope not!

These right-wing (I mean farrrrr right-wingers) need to really get a grip on reality! Today, a McCain-Palin supporter thought it would be a "good" idea to demonstrate his right to free-speech...outside an Obama rally...carrying a sign with a big picture of Barack in Muslim attire.

Yeah, did he really think no one would approach him?

But my problem with this idiot is not just that he chose to go out there with his sign and ambitions to demonstrate "free speech", but it was more so of what he said...what he "believes"(?)

Quote: "Now is not the time to have a Muslim-leaning president". OK, first the disclaimer "Senator Obama is NOT a Muslim". (Yes, we all know that, but the rest of these nutjobs have not got the memo). But the problem with that is that these are the same people that want to stay in Iraq. The same people who wanted to help a "Muslim Nation" build a so-called "Democracy". The same people who didn't mind their tax dollars going to help rebuild a nation of "Muslim" people.

Yet they claim it's "not time" for anyone with Muslim connections to become POTUS.

And yet, these same people, wonder why other countries call us arrogant.

I know things are getting frustrating as this election winds down for the last few days. John McCain and his "legion" of supporters have thrown everything they can at Barack Obama. Calling him everything from a socialist to someone who "pals around with terrorism." They've lied and twisted his position. Now they even plan to throw Rev. Wright back out. (Hey, whatever sticks is the plan I suppose). And now the pundits tell us this race is "tightening up".

Today I cast my vote for Barack Obama (in Texas, a state which still has 23% of voters who "believe" Senator Obama is a Muslim...yeah, I know, unbelievable). But I stood in line, and proudly waited to cast my vote--regardless if he is projected to win this state or not.

I came home, and dug this video up from Youtube...it brought tears to my eyes when I first watched it, and it brought tears to my eyes again tonight.

Yes.We.Can!! (We Want Change!)

Mika, co-host of MSNBC's Morning Joe, is obsessed with Sarah Palin. I thought Scarborough and Buchanon were bad. Ever since McCain announced her as his running mate, Mika has joined in the drooling of this unqualified candidate. Defending her in every way possible. Ignoring any sense of reality. Claiming she's an icon for all women. And now, once again, defending her against this latest news that despite Sarah Palin and the McCain camp's to portray themselves as "Joe Sixpacks", the campaign spent more on her clothes than "Joe and Joanne Sixpacks" make in a year.

OK, I think I finally have had my "Cup full" of all the hate and fear-mongering. In the past few weeks, I've heard more nasty, hate-filled attacks coming out of the McCain campaign and his "supporters" that I can take! Senator McCain, Governor Palin..are you insane? Have you NOT been paying attention to our country's history? You've CERTAINLY been around long enough to tell the stories first-hand! The headlines and the behavior at McCain-Palin rallies is nothing new to this country. Oh yes, we've been down this path before.

These have been the stories that I have been reading about in the past weeks or have listened to on TV/online.

Hate...Fear...Bigotry...Ignorance...Aaaaagh!! ENOUGH!

With all this talk about the Middle Class and the Top 1-2%, you'd think that everyone in this country held jobs and were somehow able to make it (even if they were barely scratching the surface). But what about those folks who are living in poverty (I mean literally)--living off of 15K or less a year, trying to take care of themselves and 2 or 3 little ones as well. What about them? It seems there's only one candidate who hasn't forgotten about them...Barack Obama!

McCain has done it again...this time he's pissed off the science/tech community!

http://news.yahoo.com/...

In the debate, McCain portrayed Barack Obama as an excessive spender, and he punctuated his attack (twice) with this example:

"[Obama] voted for nearly a billion dollars in pork barrel earmark projects, including, by the way, $3 million for an overhead projector at a planetarium in Chicago, Illinois. My friends, do we need to spend that kind of money?"

Turns out, a lot of people think we do. This is no ordinary overhead projector from your 5th grade classroom. The blog Cosmic Variance sums it up:

"If you've ever had the pleasure of visiting the Adler Planetarium, you'd probably guess that the 'overhead projector' he's talking about is the spectacular 'Sky Theater' -- one of the most engrossing, gorgeous venues for displaying visuals about space."
