A Nation Divided:President Obama Polling Numbers Show a Decrease in Support

Today a new Rasmussen poll was released. We’ve all been bombarded with the constant attention to President Obama’s “high” approval rating. While I have always contested that the President’s approval ratings tend to be inflated, I think this survey shows some merit.

Nationalized Medicine: Not Right for Our Nation

Recently President Obama has announced his plan for healthcare in America. It is no secret that our President is a fan of socialized medicine and his plan aims to make the Government a larger player in our healthcare and puts Government bureaucrats between you and your physicians. But how much information have we received on the effectiveness of nationalized healthcare in other countries that use this system?

Democrat Fleecing of the Gay Community - When Will It End?

 

Symbolic gestures like Obama’s paper-tiger presidential memorandum granting same-sex partner benefits to federal employees sans health care benefits and “discussions” on repealing “don’t ask, don’t tell” are hardly accomplishments at this point in history. According to recent Gallup Polls, 67% of Americans believe same-sex partners should receive employee benefits, INCLUDING health insurance, while 58% support REPEALING “don’t ask, don’t tell” now. Yet, despite public opinion in their favor on these two issues, the Democratic controlled federal government is doing nothing because, quite frankly, they are not held accountable. To be blunt, the Obama administration’s recent actions show how little sincerity it has in fulfilling its many campaign pledges to the gay community, notably repealing the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

$250,000 Date & We Footed the Bill

Last week President Obama took his wife on such an expensive date that even Donald Trump would be impressed. It was the Big Apple, and the grand total was $250,000. That’s right, in a recession, when there is a 9.4% unemployment rate, where so many Americans cant even afford to pay their mortgage, our President takes time out of his busy schedule to take the First Lady on a date that could pay the annual salaries of over 11 families of four living at the Federal Poverty Level ($22,050 annually).
