Want to keep this job Mr. President. DO NOT MESS WITH DOG PEOPLE

Damage Control: Obama Family Makes Donation To D.C. Humane Society

"This is a missed opportunity to set a pet-adoption trend among Americans," says Abbie Moore, executive director of Adopt-a-Pet.com. "With pet relinquishment up 20 to 30 percent due to the poor economy, pets in shelters can use all the help they can get."

I have to say that taking a dog into our First House that would have been gobbled-up by some lover of all things canine and water -- Let's not speculate it would live a pretty privileged life.

Now that dog that you left in the cage at the shelter. The one with the sad eyes, and the silent the tail. That tail was a waggen just days ago and for what the time you have been in office. Why is that Mr. President. Because the staff at every shelter in the Washington DC area was abuzz that the First Family could drop in on their shelter and rescue just one dog.

The world for these after thoughts of American consumerism need a champion. Every day that the Rescue First Dogs was in the life of your family the American, with you the World's Family would see that mans best friend needs one now more then every.


We all, that is folks that adoptd pets, know that they give some of the most unqualified, ummatched love and companionship, something that is very rare in the Federal City, to you and how they treat a child is something that fills facebook pages.


Here is a picture of our dog, He was abondend on the side of the road in KY.  He was brought here by a great group called Homeward Trails. http://www.homewardtrails.org/adoptions.html  and we got him at a great local shop Called Pet Mac


Today, Max spends his time waiting on the family outside of shops and restaurants in upper northwest being greeted by kids, moms & dads alike, sleepin on the couch or havin a play date with his best friend Matilda . It's a great story how he came from the side of the road in KY and all the life's he has touched. Could be a book even, who knows.

What we do know is that the First Pet at 1600 Penn Ave is a mere gift, it was not like the pub was born at his house, from elite friend and we just did not know that until you filled in the details.

Lets be frank here Sir. Ya know blog truth to power. If you would have taken a pet from a shelter so would have thousands of others. Now they are not! So on behalf of all the pets that will now die in one because the first family did a total head faked on the whole community --you know people thought you were going to adopt a pet and if not give up that blackberry cuz you is outta touch.

Dont bite the hand that feeds you is an expression that is famous you have 3 or so years to think about it as you walk you elite water dog that is not generating thousands of pictures of it being a rescued dog from a shelter with the First Family.

Lucky for your that dogs seem to be better than people................and that which you stepped in can be cleaned up. The rest of us do it every day.

Australia Cuts Rates to Lowest Since 1960 - NYTimes.com

The Reserve Bank of Australia cut its benchmark cash rate by 25 basis points to 3 percent, its lowest level since March 1960. The bank has so far slashed 425 basis points from the cash rate since September in a bid to stop the country from slipping into its first recession in nearly two decades.

What is not in this article is the why they even tried to keep the rates at that level for so long. In some other areas this has been address and it seems about time to do it here. The whole reason that Australia, Japan and Iceland for that matter, the USA too, have managed their Central Bank policies in such a matter that a global currency shuck and jive would be the best way to describe western financial systems.

Think about obtaining a credit card or line with zero or no interest and than using that money as capital to invest in some other area that would both pay off the original balance when due or for way too long just obtain another card and move the balance. Keep doing until you cant do it noo mo....

This is why Japan held it rate at next to nothing and Australia and Iceland had theirs so high. Now what we are seeing is Australia trying to save their economy so it does not disappear like Iceland's. Well it work and which curreny backed by a private central bank is next. And, where does the Muni bond collapse figure in for the USA.

Here is just one aspect of this unbelievably large pool of money.

Fed Said to Order Banks to Stay Mum on ‘Stress Test’ Results - Bloomberg.com

April 10 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Federal Reserve has told Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and other banks to keep mum on the results of “stress tests” that will gauge their ability to weather the recession, people familiar with the matter said.

The Fed wants to ensure that the report cards don’t leak during earnings conference calls scheduled for this month. Such a scenario might push stock prices lower for banks perceived as weak and interfere with the government’s plan to release the results in an orderly fashion later this month.

“If you allow banks to talk about it, people are just going to assume that the ones that don’t comment about it failed,” said Paul Miller, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets in Arlington, Virginia.

Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At this point in time who is the fool. BTW anyone notice the Muni Bond markets.

FED, Stress Tests. Banks,
