Friday, February 06, 2009 The power of the sword versus the power of the pen,which is stronger? I was reading an article on the Daschle fisaco and something other than the usual "typical D.C political mess" stood out. Apparently, Daschle resigned on the morning after reading "the New York Times editorial calling on him to withdraw." "The editorial described Daschle's ability to move "cozily between government and industry" as a cloud over any role he might play in changing the nation's medical insurance system." A controversial event through and through,yet this administration still scores points on my card not just because of the sympathy generated by an emotional Daschle talking about how reading that editorial affected his personal choice to withdraw,but also because both President Obama and Daschle acknowledge the sin but not condemn the sinner. A different message that other administrations might have sent out........"Burn the sinner who evaded tax and cut his links with us so that our reputation will be protected" Instead,it was the head of the administration that said, "I’ve got to own up to my mistake. Ultimately, it's important for this administration to send a message that there aren't two sets of rules — you know, one for prominent people and one for ordinary folks who have to pay their taxes," So yeah well...... GO OBAMA! This coming from a former Bush supporter =S Anyway, Valentine's day is coming(after my ORD HAHAHAHAHA). And there's an event to celebrate that day. Its free,and invites are not exclusive. Who doesn't want a free thing these days? ![]() Unknown Source at 9:58 AM
