Is the honeymoon over for Obama. A lot of people, especially Republicans, are saying that. If you are calling a few days during the inauguration a honeymoon, then the answer is yes. That party is over. We have seen every president go through this in their first 100 days. The Republicans and the Democrats battle for strength of party and everyone else can go to hell.
Our last Democratic President, Wild Bill Clinton, went through a similar 100 days. The difference is that George Bush 1 left the country in better shape then George Bush 2 did. We are now in a depression and drastic measures need to be taken. We gave little George 8 years to get it right and he did to the country what he did to his other business projects before he became Governor and then President. I know very well that one man can't take all the credit or all the blame. We need people who are open minded enough to realize that this is not a game. The trickle down economics did not work. and that was from one of my favorite presidents. You don't give a thief your money(bailout) after he has stolen from you. He will pocket the money and continue to steal from you.
The last heartbreaking story is that the list of billionaires has shrunk. I wonder if it is because they are in jail for ponzi schemes.
Speaking of schemes, here are come legal schemes to look out for.
1- If you are on social security, the law states that no one can garnish your funds. The scheme to get around it is to get a garnishment order from a judge, give to the bank, and the bank will garnish the account. This way the bank blames the lawyer, the lawyer blame the judge, and the judge blames the bank. Meanwhile if you want to fight it, you have to hire a lawyer. now the reason for this law, to protect the poor, has been circumvented.
2-Pork barrel spending. Need I say more.
3- Credit ratings for car insurance.

More to come on later blogs.
