Well, I have told all my friends that I was going to give Obama a chance, going in with an open mind to see how he would do. Well, it took him just three days to tick me off. What did he do? I am glad you asked. He removed the rule that would prevent US tax dollars from being used to fund international abortions. Next up on the list, after his claims that he was going to be this new, transparent, ethical administration, Obama is already bending the rules to allow a lobbyist to serve as Deputy Secretary of Defense. So, everyone says that the first 100 hours are critical to setting the tone for the rest of the administration. Is this what I have to look forward to for the next 8 years? Talking a good talk, and then undoing what you just did less than 2 days? This is not good for our country. On this note, the only media that has gotten an interview with him since he became President was the company (ABC) that spent millions hosting a ball for him. This has created what some reporters are calling a "Pay to play system." Oh, and the Feds are raiding a contractor that Democrat Jack Murtha steered more than $100,000,000 to. Can anyone say corruption?
In other news, Bobby Jindal is not doing much to clamp down on the rumors of a Presidential run when he is getting the top speaking slot for the NRCC, a spot usually taken by former President Bush.

Why Dan Patrick is not an Honorable Leader
Using the Three Principles of Honorable Leadership, we can deduce that Sen. Dan Patrick is not an honorable leader.
He has violated Principle 1 by working tirelessly to have the Hon. Corbin Van Arsdale defeated. Representative Van Arsdale's offense? Endorsing Joe Nixon for Senate in the District 7 race in 2006.
He has violated Principle 2 by trying to build a political machine in Texas, instead of letting Democracy work its way.
Dan Patrick has violated Principle 3 by constantly blackmailing and threatening other statesmen.
Alexander Hamilton said in Federalist no. 9, "If a single member should attempt to usurp the supreme authority, he could not be supposed to have an equal authority... Were he to subdue a part, that which would still remain free might oppose him with forces independent of of those which he had usurped, and overpower him before he could be settled in his usurpation."
Dan Patrick, that part "which still might remain free" is here to "overpower [you] before [you] can become settled in [your] usurpation". Texans, stop corrupt, power-hungry politicians! Join Texans for Honorable Leadership to bring a higher moral tone to politics!
