President Bush Comes Under Attack!
I already posted today about President Bush visiting Iraq. Well here’s an update on his visit. A correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station took off his shoes and threw them at President Bush. Click Here to see the moves Bush did to get out of the way. Both shoes did miss him as the Secret Service jumped all over this guy. The thing that surprised me the most was how this guy was able to get both shoes off in time to throw them both. The Secret Service should have acted faster in my opinion. Bush may be leaving office in month, and he may not be the most popular President, but he’s still our President, and no one should disrespect the United States like that. Bush did joke afterward, but things could have been a lot worst if he had a gun. I wonder what’s going to happen to this guy when it’s all said and done. This also doesn’t look good for Iraq, and I would bet that there going to come down on him pretty hard.
Bush In Iraq!
President Bush made a surprise farewell visit today. And it wasn’t to local store or anything remotely close to the White House; it was Baghdad, Iraq. He’s visiting the U.S. Troops and to celebrate the recent U.S.-Iraq security agreement, which will have most of our troops home by the end of 2011. I was just wondering if President Bush was going to head back to Iraq. I’m glad that he choose to head back to see our troops and to give them a well deserve pat on the back. I think he would have looked pretty bad if he never went back to see the troops. This is one of his better choices in a long time.
Stock Market Down!
Ok, I’m official and total mad at people mis-managing publicly traded companies. And on top of that, the U.S. government needs to make you’re there over seeing them in a much better way. I mean come on here, how can two of the biggest players (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) in the mortgage business be in so much trouble. And as always, when stocks drop oil climbs to record highs. The Dow Jones industrials fell more than 250 points, which dropped it below 11,000 for the first time in two years. I honestly never thought that the Dow would trade below 11,000 ever again, but I was wrong. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson stated, “the government’s focus is ensuring that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac keep operating in their current form”. Which he was countering reports from some that the government would announce plans to take over both of the companies. I really can’t trust our government to maintain any order. The only time they ever open their mouth crap comes out. They need to just watch what is going on around them. Because their mistakes are costing all American’s their life savings.
Tim Russert Meet the Press!
Breaking News – Tim Russert, the moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” died Friday of an apparent heart attack. He was only 58 years young. I loved watching his show Meet The Press. Tim would never hold back, he always would ask the hard questions of anyone. He seemed to be such a down to earth honest guy. He was NBC’s Washington bureau chief and a senior vice president. I can say honestly, this guy will be missed.
