You notice that Obama kept talking about "my timetable", like the US govt (Bush) is supposed to set his watch on Obama time?
Puhllllllleeeze, this guy is from Illinois and has obviously been watching Jesse Jackson too long---he thinks that when a minority speaks, everyone should bow to his/her wishes---
Also, he is talking about disparity in Illinois disablity money---is he trying to say that the VEt Admin discriminates against different STATES when they pass out checks?
If that is what he is saying then he is letting everyone know right off the bat that he isn't in Wash to legislate, he is there to be a "squeeky wheel" and that he intends to get the "grease"---
Our pride and joy ain't 100% black.
