Doesn't Like Obama

RECEIVED Sat., March 7, 2009

Dear Editor,
    It seems as if this current administration is racking up lies and less-than-honest staff members on a daily basis. One less-than-other staffer being TurboTax Tim Geithner who mentioned this past week about making sure to catch tax cheats. WTF?! Guess he would have to put himself in cuffs. What about Obama’s campaign promise that he will reform Washington spending and cut out earmark spending? He stated any bill will be gone through “line by line.” So I guess that the $1.8 million being spent out of this stimulus package to find out why pigs smell isn’t an earmark.
    And, on a completely different subject, isn’t it so classy that our president chose to give Britain’s prime minister a DVD collection of classic American movies when Gordon Brown gave Obama a wooden pen carved from the timbers of a ship that was part of a fleet to halt slave ships from Africa? He also showered the Obama children with other thoughtful gifts. Maybe he gave the DVD collection because all he had left was some “change.”
