My Own Political Party

The President's Cabinet has changed over the years. President Washington's Cabinet consisted of only four members: Secretary of State (Thomas Jefferson), Secretary of the Treasury (Alexander Hamilton), Secretary of War (Henry Knox), and Attorney General (Edmund Randolph). The Constitution does not name what cabinet positions there should be, that duty is left to the Congress. Additional cabinet positions were added over the years, including Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Health and ...

It is one for the textbooks. When Obama said "Change," I guess what he really meant was politics as usual. As Obama starts to name his Cabinet appointees, the names are looking very familiar. Many of them served in the Clinton Whitehouse. And now he chooses Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. I wonder if she will have to run through sniper attacks in Bosnia? I find it interesting that the news and blogs are calling ... Read More

Obama may have put together his economic team, but that hasn't stopped the Dow Jones wild ride. Over the past week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has been up 300 points only to drop 400 points. Investors have been watching, buying and selling either through their brokers or from online trading accounts. Dow Jones rebounded yesterday to news that Citibank would also receive a bailout. US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is trying to assure the American people that ... Read More

For the past twenty years or so, this country has been spouting the diversity ideology. This ideology is about including people of diverse cultural and religious backgrounds and encouraging tolerance for people of different backgrounds. Affirmative Action was a policy that was supposed to promote access to educational and employment opportunities for those racial minorities and women. Congress has tried in the past to force diversity with Affirmative Action policies. Of course, they don't look at their own ... Read More

As everyone realizes, childhood obesity is on the rise. Some blame less exercise, while others blame video games and television. But the industry that receives the biggest blame is the fast food industry. A study conducted by Shin-Yi Chou of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, concluded that obesity rates in children between the ages of 3 and 11 could drop as much as 18 percent, while teen obesity rates could drop as much as 24 percent. Children view an ... Read More

Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody 55 years old from Fort Belvoir, Virginia Call it breaking the brass ceiling. Ann E. Dunwoody, after 33 years in the Army, ascended Friday to a peak never before reached by a woman in the U.S. military: four-star general. At an emotional promotion ceremony, Dunwoody looked back on her years in uniform, said it was a credit to the Army—and a great surprise to her—that she would make history in a male-dominated military. "Thirty-three years after I took the oath as a ... Read More

Two years from now, a number of Senate and House seats will be up for election. If history tells us anything, the Democrats could be on thin ice. After Bill Clinton was elected President, the majority Democrats were thrown out of office. The same thing happened in reverse to George W. Bush. Unless Obama makes great strides in two years, the balance of power may change again. There is already take in Nevada about Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki ... Read More

It is bound to be a sell-out, if you can call it that. Tickets for the inauguration of President-elect Obama are actually given away for free, but they have been spotted for sale on the internet for as much as $40,000. Over a million people could descend on Washington, DC on January 20, 2009 to see the first African-American sworn in as President. Of course, this is not the first time that some old white guy is sworn in ... Read More

President-elect Obama has decided to institute a public website - Change.gov. This website will keep Americans informed about new cabinet member choices before he becomes President and about pending legislation and Presidential decisions after he becomes President. Good idea? I think it is a fantastic idea for the 18-49 year old crowd who tends to use the internet for sources of information. Not only will information about Obama's Presidency be posted on the website, but supposedly, you ... Read More
