...wasn't this suppose to stop with his election?

I thought the "hatred" of America was supposed to stop, with the "we can get along with everyone" president and an appeasement foreign policy - Guess the North Koreans didn't get that memo.

Healthcare?

Interesting read about health care...get one to thinking.

A Doctor’s View of Obama’s Healthcare Plans - WSJ.com
.” In fact, a thoughtful lay friend recently said to me in the context of her medical care, “Face it, Abraham, medicine is corrupt.” She stated this casually, as if it were an obvious and well-known fact, not waiting to see if I would agree. At the time I remember that I sputtered. I wanted to protest but the sounds would not come out. That word “corrupt” gnawed at me for days.


Wasn't the whole world supposed to be butter in his hands? It appears N Korea didn't get that memo and are still playing the same game...how will our new President respond?
SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea accused President Barack Obama's government of meddling in its internal affairs Wednesday and vowed to take "every necessary measure" to defend itself against what it calls U.S. threats.

The statement by North Korea's Foreign Ministry, however, was far less harsh than rhetoric issued by the country's military during the run-up to joint U.S.-South Korean war games that started across the South on Monday. The North's military has threatened South Korean passenger planes and put its troops on standby.

This has some interesting information about the "myth" that is global warming...
"In the early days of the IPCC, I was visiting the head of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy -- the director, Dr. Robert Watson, who later became the first Chairman of the IPCC. He informed me and a work associate with me that since we had started to regulate Ozone depleting substances under the 1987 Montreal Protocol, the next goal, in his mind, was to regulate Carbon Dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning. This was nearly twenty years ago. There was no mention of a scientific basis for that goal. So, as you can see from the beginning of the IPCC process, it has been guided by desired policy outcomes, not science."

Well let's see - The sultans of smart in our education system already want to teach America's children God couldn't have created the planet, every good child should be totally dependent on the government, there is not failure therefore no success, and now further brainwashing that they can someone how "save the planet" by what choosing paper instead of plastic... Really GIVE ME A BREAK!

Environmental Lesson Plans Drawing Praise, Concern
Could environmental education be crossing into environmental indoctrination? Some critics say yes, as schools boast that such curricula simply is teaching children ways of caring for the earth.

Being a "good" student at Western Avenue Elementary School in Flossmoor, Ill., means more than just doing reading, writing and arithmetic well. It also means trying to save the planet.


I do not advocate nor participate in total abandonment and do think we should be good stewards of what GOD have given us; however, it is the arrogance of man to believe that simply their action can and will destroy this planet before the time and place of GOD's choosing... So if we cannot destory before God so chooses, how can we, you, save it????

One more question - A few days last summer we had record highs giving way to "global warming" rhetoric; however, we broke recodes from 1891 and 1902...what was killing the planet then, did they predict the end in 50 years, and what change????? Want to MAYBE convenience me accurately predict the weather tomorrow and we will talk!!!

Amazing - In the worst economy since the depression I can't get a table at the local IHOP. Never heard they had that problem then - Maybe that explains the soup lines all the restaurants were full.

Want a job with the new administration - Don't pay taxes this year, it has to be a prerequisite nobody screws up this many times without trying!

Tax snafus add up for Obama team - USATODAY.com
WASHINGTON — The confirmation of another Cabinet member stalled Thursday because of unpaid taxes after USA TODAY disclosed that the husband of Labor secretary nominee Hilda Solis paid about $6,400 this week to settle numerous tax liens against his business dating to 1993.

Two in as many weeks...Let's all have an oversight and just apologize when the IRS comes calling. Which begs another question - Where has the IRS been in these two cases? Honest oversight or looking the other way on purpose...hmm!

Q4 GDP down 3.8 percent, biggest drop since 1982
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The economy shrank at its fastest pace in nearly 27 years in the fourth quarter, government data showed, sinking deeper into recession as consumers and business cut spending.
So what is it? In all the "scare tactics", it appears the media and our President can't get the facts straight - Or maybe the facts are in the way... But what is is, worst economy since the depression, worst economy since 1982, or since "all" of 2008 had more growth than 2001 (2001 total growth = .08% and 2008 total growth = 1.3%) - Is it only the worst economy in since 2001? Don't worry the media want let the flats cloud their agenda!!!
