Happy birthday, Mr President

August 04 2009 at 01:40AM


Washington - United States President Barack Obama, facing tough fights over his climate change and health care plans, has invited all of his Senate allies to lunch on Tuesday - his birthday - his spokesperson said on Monday.

Obama invited all 58 Democrats, and the two independents who typically vote with them, to the White House "to continue to talk about the priorities that they have", press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters.

"I don't doubt that health care will be discussed. I believe the economy will also be heavily discussed," he said. "They'll go through and discuss energy legislation."

Obama, who turns 48 on Tuesday, also plans to press senators to inject roughly $2-billion more into a programme that lets consumers trade in gas-guzzling cars and trucks for more efficient vehicles, said Gibbs.

The US president faces stiff challenges to his effort to remake the US health care system and drive a "cap-and-trade" system to curb carbon emissions through the congress - in part because of hesitations among his own Democrats. - AFP

And fyi, it's Coast Guard Day, too. Go, Coasties! :patriot:

Origin of U.S. Coast Guard Day:

On August 4, 1790, the Revenue Cutter Service was created by the U.S. Congress. Congress authorized the construction of ten cutters. These ships were built to to enforce U.S. tariff laws. The Revenue Cutter Service was the predecessor the the U.S. Coast Guard. The name "Coast Guard" was first used in 1915.

(something like that, http://www.hawaiianswers.com/index.php )

Happy Birthday for Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2009: This year, the quality of your daily life becomes an issue. Others might not agree, and often you get strange reactions. On some level, you will need to increase your circle of friends and associates in order to find like-minded people. If you are single, don't play games with yourself or others when determining if someone is "right" or "good" for you. Don't waste time or good will. If you are attached, if you want easier interactions, let your significant other have more say. Aquarius could challenge you to think more deeply.

Happy Birthday Leo!This year could be quite different from the recent past. You could be extraordinarily popular as 2009 until 2010, having networked well and tapped into your "lionesque" magnetism in 2009. Others simply gravitate towards you. They simply cannot stay away from you and who would want to? Though that might not be the best mantra or affirmation ( "no one can stay away from the big lion"), it certainly is a positive thought as you blow out your birthday candle.

Jupiter the planet of expansion in Aquarius as your birthday turns the corner, tossing lucky, optimistic people into your life. Neptune also hanging out in the same spot adds a smoke screen. Neptune is illusions and dreams. If you have been waiting for that dreamy lover or suitor to enter your life, it just might right now. But is it real, you might ask yourself? Make sure though that the "illusionist" quality of Neptune does not prevent you from seeing someone as they really are, or fall prey to a smoke screen. Even if you meet the love of your life, be cynical. Toss your rose colored shades away in this scenario. Jupiter presence will amplify any of Neptune's effects. Be joyous yet be careful.

What can happen is that you set yourself up for a fall by putting someone on a pedestal. Anyone standing on a pedestal will fall off eventually. Promise. When you take a hard look, at the real person shattered, off their loft, you might realize you only have you to blame. Be nice to both of you. Avoid idolizing.

A smart move might be to not make any judgment about any bond before that tie exists for at least a year. It takes that long to know someone. Experiencing the four seasons together gives you a more complete perspective. People might get strange on a birthday or during a season because of an old forgotten memory. You need to see the complete person. Baptize your relationship at the one year mark...
