Today President Obama announced that he was freezing the salary of all White House aides. Not only that, but he also announced he was instituting new limits on lobbyists in the White House.

Or should I say – go into full swing? On this historic day we already have the mouthpiece of the right wishing for Obama to fail as President. Rush Limbaugh told his listeners: So I’m thinking of replying to the guy, “Okay, I’ll send you a response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need […]
