I am sick and tired of national folks taking political jabs at my south Georgia congressional delegation. The fellows need to jab back. My rural south agenda focuses on agriculture, education/jobs, military/veterans and transportation. If they take care of those areas, other stuff is secondary because all politics is local. My Georgia is the area [...]

Agriculture and Food: Unlikely Allies Project
Posted in politics, tagged Afghanistan, agriculture, food, Obama, usda on May 31, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Should USDA programs be deeply cut? Some budget crunchers want to put agriculture spending on the table with other discretionary spending. While there is fat at USDA, I say we must remember that everyone eats food. We all need a safe and affordable food supply and the Obama campaign promise to use ag research and [...]
Columnist Cynthia Tucker on Possible Presidential candidate Mitch Daniels

I want a second Obama term and a recovered economy is a must for that to happen. But, I am smart enough to know that other possibilities might occur. The president could reform what he wants and walk away from the game like running back Jim Brown (President Hillary?). There is a growing chorus in my [...]
Obama at West Point: Afghanistan and Agriculture

When President Obama was selecting his cabinet, Georgia had a golden opportunity to have my southwest Georgia congressman as Secretary Agriculture. We are talking ag, the most important industry in our state, and everyone slept on the chance. Everyone except me because I was jumping up and down with my fingers crossed. Oh, I forgot. [...]
Obama and the South

Former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack gets the nod as Obama’s Agriculture Secretary while Colorado Senator Ken Salazar gets Interior Secretary. Congressman Sanford Bishop of Georgia at Ag would have been good for our state and region because the Obama picks have skipped the South completely. With all of the good appointments selected, should the South [...]
Secretary of Agriculture Sanford Bishop?

Secretary of Agriculture Sanford Bishop? Word is that Georgia Congressman Sanford Bishop is being vetted for Agriculture Secretary. That move would be great because agriculture is Georgia’s leading industry and Bishop would do a fine job. I was concerned that the Obama’s cabinet did not included people from the South. Would Georgia Governor [...]
Speculation: Sanford Bishop or Saxby Chambliss for Agriculture Secretary

This transition period is better than Fantasy Football because President-Elect Obama is sincerely committed to bridging the partisan divide. What happens with Senator Clinton or Governor Richardson as Secretary of State makes me wonder if there will a position available in the cabinet for Richardson above his previous status? Hopefully, a Georgian will be [...]
