RPAC has lowered the Major Donor Limits. 
Keynote speaker: Jim Vandehei (a founder of “Politico”– the online
resourse for anything and everything political.)
Fun things he said–
When washington does something fast, look out. When washington does
something in a rush, duck!
Said water cooler talk in washington is to use the tax code against
all people given bonusaks and taxing them at 90*/*!
What he has learned in the past few weeks about Obama.
#1 He swings to the fences- the biggest of everything.
#3 He isn’t a great communicator.
He speaks un-even. One day negative, the next day positive.
#4 He doesn’t always walk on water.
#5 His budget has a 1.85 billion dollar deficet for this year. That
means this year the tax money we pay will only cover about half of the
costs of the country.
#6 He is being awakened by facts that he didn’t have when he made so
many of his campaign promises.
#7 Is he Liberal or Concervative/ centurist Republican? He seems to be
operatining inbetween. It will be some time before we figure out what
his idology is.
#8 Is his team as smart as we think they are? In retrospect, most
people feel they are not. We hope he has surrounded himself with the
best and brightest, but you never know! Time will tell. Many of his
team have bad records.
#9 Are his goals too lofty? Cure Cancer? Education K-College? Time
will tell. Washington is run by Democrats. He maybe able to push
things thru.
Q+A –
***What he thinks about newspapers going out of business:
If were smart, envision journalism with out the extra fluff. There
will be smaller, leaner papers. But we neeed newspapers and reporters!
Esp in this time with party run washington you need the watchdog
reporters.
**Thoughts about Obamas webcast regarding Iran. His tone was different
than past president. He is trying to work with them, to get them to
change.
***What about the banks, how to find which ones will make it? The
white house knows if the banks go down they pull the economy w/it, and
that the public is angry with them.
