1. I think of them like any other administration
You are paid by me, you promised me something, and if you don't deliver you get fired just like I would if I did the same thing.

My loyalty lays with my principles, not the people who say they will take those principles and put them into action and don't just because they felt I would roll over after telling me what I wanted to hear to get their job.

We hired them for a job, and if they won't do it, then we will find people that do.

3. If they let the Domestic auto industry go down the shitter, they lose the UAW
and millions of voters in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. And they will be a one-trick pony administration.

4. I write to my Senators, my Congressman....
and anyone else I think think of..like committee members.

got this reply from my Congressman ...
April 21, 2009

Your comments expressing support for investigating former President George W. Bush and other officials in his administration have been forwarded to my attention. I appreciate the opportunity to respond.

Please know that the Democratic majority in Congress is doing much in the way of demanding accountability. As a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, I am actively involved in such matters. As this work continues, we shall let the facts take us where they will, all in the interest of a better government.
