Yesterday's discussion with members of a national accounting firm was a little frightening. I asked for their perspective on the economy.  They responded, "A majority of our clients are so stressed over the next shoe to drop from Washington that they are too afraid to do any hiring, etc."  We don't even know the effects of Obamacare, and the new financial reform act is put in place.  We are trying to muddle through the 2,000 pages of the financial reform act, and Obama wants to vote on Cap and Trade.  Right now businesses feel helpless to the seemingly endless new laws which necessarily increase the cost of operating. 

The economy will improve when Washington stops acting.

Finally some good news -Cedra Crenshaw - the African American housewife, that's running on the Republican ticket, here in Illinois, was restored to the ballot yesterday .  The efforts of the Illinois Democratic Party to keep this woman off the ballot had made national news.  I'm guessing they are now wishing they hadn't put up the fight.

Have you kept on top of the Jounolist scandal?  This was a private web site for reporters. The site was created to allow journalists to communicate with each other on topics of the day.  Your Republican Reporter was never invited to join.  And now we know why.
The site was used by leading members of the media to coordinate their attacks against all things Republican.  Postings from the site are now being released to the public.  And it's downright ugly stuff.

"Esteemed" members of the media viewed themselves as "the unofficial Obama campaign". It was suggested that they use the label of "racist" against anyone that tried to bring up Rev. Jeremiah Wright during the 2008 campaign .  Today, we are learning, that within 24 hours of Sarah Palin being named as McCain's running mate, editors and reporters were plotting how to discredit her candidacy. 

These people had no interest in reporting the news.  It's disgusting reading and gives you a full sense of how today's media is in bed with the Obama administration.
