Remember Billy Carter? Then there was Roger Clinton, Bill Clinton's brother. See, we never had that problem with President Bush. He was already the dumb brother. " --Jay Leno

Lisa,

One more thought about Ex Governor Good Hair, lets hope he has no knowledge of Texas History. In 1918 Governor James "Pa" Ferguson was impeached for attempting to use the funding for the University of Texas for his own gain. After being removed from office and being banned for life from holding office again in Texas he backed another candidate for Governor, Miriam "Ma" Ferguson. Yes she was his wife! She became the first female Governor in U.S. history! Although she lost reelection on her first attempt she was reelected on her second attempt in 1926. There is hope for Mrs. Blago getting a new job after all!

The Effects of Buying American?

 

A contentious debate over a "Buy American" provision in the economic stimulus package poses an early test for President Obama on both domestic politics and foreign policy...."If we're gonna spend many billions of taxpayer dollars in an effort to get the economy up and moving again, it's obvious that money should be spent in our economy," said Jim Robinson, a United Steelworkers (USW) official in Gary, Ind.

Opponents, however, say the new language could breach U.S. trade commitments and ignite a disastrous round of beggar-thy-neighbor retaliation like that which worsened the Great Depression. Both the European Union and Canada already warned the administration against the consequences of resurgent economic nationalism. If other countries enact similar limits, U.S. exporters such as Caterpillar (CAT) and Boeing (BA) would lose lucrative foreign sales.
