Obama is Long-winded but Good . . .

at first presser (stupid slang, but it is more concise). You're right Fair, about the lack of CSPAN time from the Michigan Delegation re the Stimulus. Although, repub Rep. Steve Hoekstra is in the news for using Twitter to reveal the presence of a Congressional Delegation in Iraq. Not a good reference, of course. Do you tweet?

I'll sure be glad when the Stimulus is enacted and we can move on to other things. "They" say that Obama has had an opportunity to learn good lessons from this process - when to take control of a congressional debate, when to use the bully pulpit, etc. Maybe . . . .

Guess what - I have a business meeting on MSU campus tomorrow. They want in on the stimulus projects and of course have few federal-aid eligible roads. I gather they want to build something new and/or realign Wilson on the east side, to serve the new Facility for Rare Isotope something or other. I'm supportive and will explain the technicalities but management here is not necessarily on board . . . How's San Antonio?
