Give me the Money or Else by Dr. T

If nothing else, the Democratic party is always good theater. Especially over the past few weeks as Inauguration Day approaches. What with the Blago scandal which threatens to encompass more and more players, many close to Obama, to sketchy maneuvers by his cabinet appointees, the president-elect is having his share of "distractions". But for all the hoopla, make no mistake, all his appointees, even the one who had a memory lapse for paying taxes, will be confirmed. The hearings are theater...that's all. It's a green light all the way for Obama and know this, if the president-elect doesn't get what he wants...he will pull an ace from the deck. He has already threatened to use the "veto" if the next round of TARP money isn't delivered pronto. Never mind that constituents are clamoring for accountability after the first $350 billion went who knows where? So some congressional types are actually asking questions in an attempt to appease the masses and now they have been told by Mr. Obama that they are expected to comply. I have no doubt that everyone will walk in lockstep - after all, who wants to dampen the greatest day in our entire history? January 20th looms...the next four years will be very interesting.
