While the news today is focused on the ongoing debate over the stimulus package, the Obama administration is getting business done in other areas.
CITI has been told not to take delivery on their new 45 million dollar jet, that it was rather tacky of them to get caught. Guess they'll have to make do with their two old jets... What bothers me most is that almost every large company that is receiving bailout funds are not changing the greedy part of their corporate cultures. They need to enroll in a 12 step program because of their addiction to flaunting unjustified wealth. It's clear that the whole financial products industry needs to be overhauled from the ground up, especially when the former heads of the stock exchanges are being caught in fraud and chicanery. Take Madoff out of house arrest from his 7 million dollar apartment and put his butt in the sleaziest jail we got...
Obama went on Arabic television to tell them that Americans were not their enemies. And to prove it, he was sending them James Dobson to hold as hostage...
Hillary Clinton will meet with her Russian counterpart before an economic summit in April. CNN reports: "Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his U.S. counterpart, Hillary Clinton, will meet before an April world financial ministers summit, he said Tuesday.
"I agreed with Hillary Clinton that we would meet before the G-20 summit due on April 2 in London," Lavrov said during a Moscow news conference.

Today's jokes:
"President Barack Obama has signed an executive order officially banning torture in the United States. You know what that means? ABC may be forced to cancel 'The View.'" --Jay Leno
"After lots of discussion and intervention by the Secret Service, Barack Obama will be allowed to keep his BlackBerry, but his use of it will be limited. So I guess it's gonna be on Verizon." --Jay Leno
"Actually, it's a special BlackBerry, built just for him. They're calling it a 'BarackBerry.' This is true. It doesn't even have a battery. Runs entirely on hope." --Jay Leno
"And as you know, Barack Obama has become known as the first wired president, because of all his high-tech skills. And I think he showed that during the inaugural address, especially when he said, 'By working together, we can turn our enemies into our BFFs." ... Best friends forever." --Jay Leno
"Here's some interesting gossip. The New York Daily News says that Michelle Obama didn't wear her wedding ring to the inaugural balls because it didn't match her outfit. See, women can do that, huh? Imagine a guy trying to get away with that. A guy comes home, he's not wearing his wedding ring. 'Where's your ring?' 'You know, it clashed with my shirt.' Please, please." --Jay Leno
"Caroline Kennedy withdrew her bid to fill New York's vacant Senate seat. You heard about this? According to some reports, she dropped out because of marital problems. How bad is your marriage when it keeps you from replacing Hillary?" --Jay Leno
"Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, his impeachment trial is scheduled to begin on Monday. You know, so, it looks like Illinois is going to break even. They have one politician sitting in the White House, the other one sitting in the big house. It's a wash, pretty much." --Jay Leno
