Fun With Dick & Jane

Dick and I were both excited about having met Kerry Healey Monday night at our weekly Rotary meeting.  Kerry is the former MA Lt Governor (under Mitt Romeny) and a former Rotary Ambassadorial scholar.  She was a spectacular guest, and about as open and friendly a politician as I have ever seen.

We also talked about the Government takeover of GM (Govmo), the pushback on Chrysler by the bondholders and other funky economic moves under President Obama.

Next we were on to the Obama’s date night to NY city, which Dick believes is the status quo, and I think is outrageous given the state of the economy.

We talked about the disparity between Dick Cheney and President Obama on the gay marriage issue.  Cheney supports gay marriage as passed by the states – my position, and President Obama supports civil unions but opposes gay marriage.

We also talked about Sonia Sotomayor’s battle to be named to the Supreme Court and the double standard applied to minorities and white men.

We wondered when Nancy Pelosi will address her allegations that the CIA often lies to Congress , and we talked about a Chinese audience laughing at Tim Geithner’s assurances that the US economy is strong and Chinese assets are safe.

Enjoy!
