President Obama has been all over TV making his case for his universal health care bill. He was the sole guest on the David Letterman Show. He is now headed to Copenhagen to present to lobby for Chicago hosting the Olympics. But he has not found time as commander and chief to consult with General Stanley McChrystal, his commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan. Gen. McChrystal has asked (by hand delivery) for more troops to be sent to Afghanistan, but Pres. Obama is pretty much elusive to the General on Afghanistan.
It was revealed on the 60 Minutes TV program that Gen. McChrystal has only talked to the President once in 70 days and that was when the General told him, that we where in danger of losing in Afghanistan. After hearing that, Pres. Obama hasn't talked to the General! President George W. Bush spoke with his then-top Iraq commander, Gen. David Petraeus, on a regular basis. Read more here.
Do you think Pres. Obama picked some rather odd people to be part of his administration? How about the czars? Let's take a brief look at four of them:
Cass Sunstein the Regulatory Czar believes that animals ought to be able to sue with human representation in court. Read more about that here. He believes that the President and those in his administration should be interpreting federal law, not judges. He is against that aspect of our constitutional checks and balances. Mr. Sunsteins asked,
"Why is the executive not permitted to construe constitutional ambiguities as it sees fit?" asks Sunstein. "The simplest answer is that foxes are not permitted to guard henhouses ... but who is the fox?"
Mr. Sunstein believes there should be a new bill of rights. The rights he feels people should have can only be found in utopia. In reality, we know there is no such place on earth. Besides who pays for all services related to the rights for everyoner? Read all about presidential interpretation and his new bill of rights here.
UPDATE: Cass Sunstein says, Government must fund abortion. He declares 'no problem' forcing taxpayers with religious, moral conflict.
From what the Science Czar Dr. John Holdren has written, it so strongly appears that he is an eugenicist. He stated in a textbook that he is for government mandated green abortions. Dr. Holdren feels this is constitutionally acceptable. He is for population control for the sake of the environment/planet. For Dr. Holdren, as far as the 14th amendment is concerned, the fetus is a non person. He is also for sterilizing welfare recipients. He is a firm believer in health care covering the costs of abortions.
For more, you can go to this link which I have already shared with my Facebook friends. Dr. Holdren has also written that the traditional family is outdated and that large families should be punished. Read more about that here.
Mark Lloyd the Diversity FCC Czar praises marxist Hugo Chavez and feels that whites should step down and let blacks, gays and "other people" have the power. He makes a lot of controversial statements like that. Many are likening Mr. Lloyd to the former Green Czar Van Jones in the sense that they are both very friendly to marxism.
Mr. Lloyd strongly desires to changes things in the media. As far as the 1st Amendment is concerned, Ponder Mr. Lloyd 's quote:
“It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies.”
Kevin Jennings the Safe Schools Czar is a former teacher who founded the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education. Network (GLSEN). He has personally used the "safety" concept in the advocacy of homosexuality in the public schools. You can read more about that here. In dealing with his homosexuality, Mr. Jennings feels that God failed him. He thoroughly dislikes anyone who gives recognition to God.
In the past he has promoted homosexual conferences under his GLSEN. Teenagers at these conferences learned in extremely graphic detail about all the mechanics and variations of homosexual love making. Go here for additional information on Kevin Jennings.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand...
Pres. Obama All Over TVA Scott Stanis Cartoon There were a lot of funny editorial cartoons on Pres. Obama going from TV program to TV program last week. On the Sunday News programs, he was everywhere but Fox News. That was a BAD call. From what I have heard and read, the Pres. wanted to reach more people especially his critics to promote the health care bill. So shouldn't he have gone on the Fox Sunday News Program? That cable news channel has the largest viewing audience of the news channels and news programming. Fox news has a larger audience than MSNBC and CNN combined.
I think that Chris Wallace would not have been any harder than George Stephanopoulos on President friendly ABC. I wonder if one of the reasons for Pres. Obama not going on Fox had anything to do with not wanting to share the program with ACORN's Bertha Lewis. Could it be that he didn't want that immediate association!
The Plot Thickens in the Philly Area Swimming Pool Racism Incident Remember hearing about the day camp of largely black and latino children being tossed out of the Valley Club's swimming pool on June 29th? The excuse given was that there were too many children for the pool to accommodate them. Well the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission has determined that Valley club officials did discriminate against the children.
Even worse, a woman who questioned why all the black children were there and sent negative emails about the children to various swim club members had been a few of the children's math teacher at the school they attend. She charged that one particular child was a thief. That child's mother is legally going after the teacher for slander and etc., because the school authorities never attributed any stolen items to her child. The mother says her child was never disciplined by the school for stealing. There is now a growing protest from the school's parents to have the teacher terminated. Read more from columnist Annette John-Hall.

Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher Ending on a beautiful note, Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher of James City, North Carolina hold the Guinness World Record for the longest marriage of a living couple. They have been married 85 years. How inspiring is that in this current age when Christian couples have an ever growing divorce rate? They still live in the home, Mr. Fisher built in 1942.

Tomorrow, Friday the 25th in Washington D. C. is the Islam on Capitol Hill rally. See the website for the event here. Hassen Abdellah a main organizer in the capacity of prayer leader for the rally has said that "The White House Will Become the Muslim House," America is "Controlled by the Jews." Read more about him and the other organizing leaders of this rally such as Abdul Malik who says "so no we don’t want to democratize Islam, we want to Islamize democracy." here and/or here.

Listen to former Muslim and now apostate Nonie Darwish give the low down on Muslim treatment of those who leave Islam in an interview with Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs. The plight of Rifqa Bary and creeping Sharia is discussed. Go to Atlas Shrugs to read more remarks dealing with this interview.
If you are a supporter of the President's health care initiatives, I hope you are taking into consideration the costs and how those costs will affect certain segments of the population. Our economy is far from being in the best of conditions to take on government (taxpayer) supplied health care for everyone. If the country ends up with an abundance of government supplied health care, someone is going to take a hit.
According to the non partisan Congressional Budget Office, the senior segment of our population will feel the stab in the back, even though Pres. Obama continually makes the claim that seniors wouldn't see their Medicare benefits cut in any extensive revamping of health care. But in reality, they would see their Medicare managed care plans reduced in benefits under a bill in the Finance Committee. There would be a reduction of more than $100 billion over 10 years.

Listen to Bernard Navarro talk about Cuba and Fidel Castro and then compare that to what Rep. Diane Watson said near the end of the youtube audio after her short visit to Cuba. I hope by this time ex Cubans who fled Cuba under Castro's communist regime have told Rep. Watson a thing or two about the real Cuba and the greatness of the United States of America. If any have, I'm quite sure they started off with, "You don't know what you are talking about!"
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
