What Does This Say About Obama’s View Of The Sexes?

By Kleinheider Posted on March 2, 2009 at 1:53 pm

Is there anything to be made of the fact that President Obama has now appointed two women (Sebelius and DeParle) to handle the work he was going to give to one man (Tom Daschle)? Or am I just looking to stir the stew?

Discuss.

You Gotta Spend Money To Make Money

Ben Cunningham, however, would rather not have local government involved in the practice of lobbying state and federal governments:

This practice of using taxpayer money to get even more taxpayer money should be illegal but its not and many local TN govts spend lots of taxpayer money on lobbying. Hopefully this ridiculous practice will be outlawed soon in TN.
