Bush steaming, Daley slapped down Durbin.

Santorum and other GOP lawmakers should wake up to the fact that if the Republicans go down in the off-year election, it will be because of three things, and three things only.....immigration, gas prices and outsourcing of jobs.

White-collar job-holders in the computer and computer-related sectors are losing their jobs in droves. My moonlighting computer repair guy (with four kids) is losing his job in fall. He's actually training his replacement in Cairo by computer.

He told me thousands and thousands of jobs are going to Egypt and India. He stated that our national security may soon be in jeopardy as many business networks (even defense and military networks) are becoming so heavily invested service-wise and records-wise in these foreign (and sometimes unstable) countries that much of our communications systems could be brought down very easily and suddenly if muslim moles decide to commit sabotage.

Stem cell research is not a big-ticket emotional issue that will bring the GOP down. The three things I mentioned above are.

Mayor Daley has a personal stake in the military now with his son Patrick in Ranger training. My son was in the same platoon with Patrick and got to know him over the course of their 14 week basic training. The mayor was at graduation from both Basic and Airborne school at Ft. Benning. I'm sure Durbin's remarks didn't sit very well with him.

When Bill Clinton finally had to admit an "improper relationship" with Monica and had to admit that he had been with Jennifer Flowers "once" (under oath in the Paula Jones case), his Commerce Secretary, Bill Daley, had his bags packed and was ready to leave..
Richie Daley talked him out of it...darn it.

Well, I'm just a regular Jane (or is that Deb), but I would not use that as an excuse to engage in self-indulgent whining.

BTW: To better understand what GWB has done and is doing fiscally, I encourage you to read the following article:

BACK TO THE BLUEPRINT
U.S. fiscal policy is turning in the direction President Bush first envisioned.

By J. Edward Carter

President George W. Bush’s first budget (“A Blueprint for New Beginnings”) outlined a sweeping vision for remaking U.S. fiscal policy. It was, as Bush described it, “a new vision for governing the Nation for a new generation.” But as we all know today, those plans were soon derailed as the Bush administration inherited an economy on the verge of recession and a world situation on the verge of upheaval. Four years and two wars later, U.S. fiscal policy is headed back in the direction President Bush first envisioned.
