I thought the Sunday News shows last Sunday were BORING. It's all the same people all the time with their ivory tower point of view. Gosh, haven't I done my civic duty in analyzing them for all these weeks?

I had written back a number of weeks that Colby King, from Inside Washington, had described Harry Reid as "the worse majority leader ever." I think I wrote that I basically agreed with him. His quotes that got out to the public about Obama confirm that. The guy is not a 21st century guy, and yet he has profound influence on us. You would think that he would know better than to use the word "negro" if nothing else. What a maroon. If health care doesn't get passed, we will know why.

I am interested in whether congress will actually inform the public at all about the fall of the big banks and insurance companies, the government bailout, and just what happened. But I'm not confident that we will learn the truth.

For example, just today I heard a report on NPR that the Federal Reserve was not reporting some kind of billions of dollars of profits on these loans that they made to these huge financial institutions. Oh really? And is that being applied toward deficit reduction, or is it really true what the Ron Paulers have been saying - that the Federal Reserve is really outside the government and out of control.

Well, no doubt, some of these big Wall Street firms have gone from needing to be bailed out to avoid bankruptcy to now reporting billions in profits - IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR! Oh yeah? How? Let's get the details of every transacvtion that lead to these losses being wiped out and replaced with billions of dollars of profits in just a few months. I really want to know how they did it. And, if the government money facilitated it, then don't I have a right to know? But i'm not confident that this congressional committee will give us the truth.

Oh yeah, and the headline in today's USA Today is that we are kicking ass in Afghanistan. Yeah, I've heard that before. We'll see.

It's going to be interesting to see what Obama has to say about the upcoming Martin Luther King birthday holiday. Is he really living up to the dream?
