Obama At Independence Hall Tomorrow

120108rendellobama.jpg OMGOMGOMG! Noted next president Barack Obama will meet with the nation’s governors tomorrow at Independence Hall at the annual national governor meeting. KYW 1060 says “This is not just a ceremonial photo opportunity event,” and so here’s what’s going down:

Many of the governor’s states are facing financial crises at the local level. Philadelphia is a good example of that and a dialogue with the governors is essential to get legislative support for Obama’s coming financial stimulus program, Governors want tax relief; new bridges and projects to create jobs.

Sweet! New Deal-type programs creating new bridges and tax relief. Everything I want in a president. On the plus side, does a national governor meeting mean Sarah Palin and Arnold Schwarzenegger are in town?! Ooh, now I am officially excited.
