First of all, I absoultely love the White House's plan to use their best weapon, the President himself, in order to gain public approval for the plans that have been set in motion.

And I am sure after tonight's press conference, I will have a whole bunch more to think about, so here is what is on my mind right now...

I had meant to paste my whole blog on this, but accidentally did just the last half, so I have repasted the whole including video. I apologize, and thanks to the commentor for letting me have it :) I hope I did it right this time!

After days and days of hearing about the AIG mess, I am just as angry as everyone else, but I feel as if it has gotten us off message. The other day, Ed Shultz described how the President usually is able to take a negative and turn it into a positive, but I don't think that going all "populist" is going to get it done.

Why is everyone complaining about getting the money back, when we should be telling people what that money could be used for instead? By yelling about wanting the money back, it begs the question of why we gave it out in the first place.

And, of course, that allows the right wingers to say how this is a prime example of why government shouldn't be in charge of anything...except bad wars and DRILL BABY DRILL...
