Hello President Obama
Congratulations on picking the Super Bowl winner. I hope you and yours enjoyed the game. It was quite exciting. I was rooting for the Cardinals however it seems the "Steel Curtain" sealed the game in the end. I thought the HULU commercial was interesting and I immediately checked it out. I was a little disappointed with the speed however that might have a direct relationship with the broadband challenges that are facing our nation.
I hope you have had the opportunity to read my last 2 notes. I apologize for not writing last week however I was busy with education policy and planning for job creation. I have not even had a chance to play basketball but I hope you have had the opportunity to do so. I truly hope we will have the opportunity to get on the court together in 2009. Please note I have a smooth jump shot. This video was done in September 2008 in Tampa Florida while visiting with my high school best buddy Bruce. Its a tribute to a wonderful mentor the both of us shared "Miles Strodel" our high school basketball coach and principal. I was in Tampa to deliver a keynote at a conference. The subject was "Civil Gideon". I will be speaking at the AIIM Conference in Philadelphia on April 2nd so please come if you can. Its kind of pricey but I think they would let you in.
I saw Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), member of the Finance Committee, and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), member of the Banking Committee, debate the economic stimulus package that they and their fellow senators will vote on next week on last weeks Meet The Press. Please continue to reach out to both sides of the isle. I very much like your choice for Secretary of Commerce. Try to be patient. While the first legislative test yielded no GOP votes your second test brought 3 votes so you continue to do better.
So with respect to the legislative branch of government you have nowhere to go but up and I guess that's a good thing. Thanks for your apology on the Daschle nomination. Please let me know what Senator Kennedy suggests regarding a nominee. It is a tough position to fill. We simply must stop this culture of priviledge. I was speaking with someone recently who relayed part of a conversation with an IRS official. The official indicated that he had recently been asked for the Geitner exemption. Lets see what Senate Majority Leader Reid and House Speaker Pelosi have to say about current goings on.
Today's Meet The Press was great. David Gregory continues to ask both sides the tough questions. Let us hope the American people weigh in on what they are saying.
Well, that's all for now Mr. President. Talk to you soon.
