The White House calls you tomorrow.
They are looking for advice on policy issues.

1. After I stop laughing?
Because some asshole is trying to punk me?

The White House doesn't give a damn what *we* think, Summers and Geither for two wouldn't be there if they did.

I will know if people heard me by personal observation. And part of that is correcting issues.

As I know others that have heard by personal observation. Although depends how you see it :)



I figured if they cared about what I said, same with other groups, someone would have corrected the issues I have.

:shrug:

Can always just collect on the debt, so doesn't matter either way.

2. 1. Fire Rahm
2. Fire Summers

3. Get Romer back, or bring on Krugman/Stiglitz/Reich

4. Fire Geithner

5. If you can't put Elizabeth Warren at Treasury in Geithner's old job, RECESS APPOINT her to the new Consumer Protection spot.

6. Fire Salazar and tell Thad Allen that his services are no longer needed, to go enjoy his retirement.

7. Put Steven Chu at the helm of the BP (ongoing disaster).

That should take care of Monday.

8. Bush left Obama with more power than any sitting President
in history. I would tell him to use his power, his authority, and most of all signing statements. Put more pressure on some of the Democrats to help him get his agenda passed. And most of all, don't give a fuck about what anyone on the right thinks..

Just sayin :shrug:

18. Move the North American Union forward. We have to become more of a part of our own hemisphere.

We have to make Americans realize that American means North and South American, not US American.

19. Recess appoint every god damn nomination the pukes have held up. Get rid of damn near everybody
he has placed in positions of influence over the decisions he has to make.

Stop any administration official from appearing on Fuck Nuze - and "advise" the party to do the same with its office-holders. Fuck also never gets called on in press conferences.

Tell Israel that IF it continues with its current policies, it will be cut off.

Order military commanders to draw up immediate plans to withdraw all forces from the middle east.

Spend the time from now to November convincing Democrats that he really does believe in Democratic principles, that the whole bipartisan thing was the biggest mistake of his life, and that he will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER do that again.

...for a start.
