Even Obama gets a W-approved nickname
The NYT’s description of Obama’s first full day as president notes that when Obama reached the Resolute Desk this morning he found the continuation of an old tradition:
He read the note left behind by George W. Bush, which was sitting in a folder on top of the desk, with a note marked “44.” Mr. Obama was in the office alone for a brief time, aides said, starting his day after a late night celebrating and dancing at inaugural balls across Washington.
It’s touching that even Obama gets a nickname (“44”) from outgoing President Bush. I’m going to miss him.
Bankruptcy bill? What bankruptcy bill?
This tax cut plan is really interesting. Under Obama’s plan, Ashley and I would get more than three times as much money back. Even our parents’ taxes would receive a slightly larger cut.
Still, if I was a millionaire, I know who I’d be a-votin’ for.
