Wednesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

The President has a busy day.

First, Obama will mark the one-year anniversary of signing the stimulus bill into law. That legislation helped save jobs that would have been lost. And, it probably prevented us from sliding into a depression. We'll have more on this later today.

Then, he's holding a meeting with his top national security advisers to discuss Afghanistan and Pakistan. All the big players will be there including Secretary Clinton, Secretary Gates, CIA Director Panetta and Admiral Mullen. U.S. forces have been undertaking a massive operation to secure Marja.

So, basically, Obama is spending his day focused on the huge domestic and foreign policy messes left by George Bush and Dick Cheney. Stunning that anyone still listens to Cheney after what his crew did to the country.

Let's get it started..
