The Obama administration realizes their policies so far have not done much to jolt the economy in relation to jobs. Less people are being hired as more people are being laid off. Efforts such as the current Job Summit has been put in place to do something about job creation. But the efforts are coming from those within the administration who have very little hands on business experience. Many of them do not even have the basic experience of making a payroll. True job creation comes through strong small businesses. Listen to financial counselor Dave Ramsey talk on the efforts of the "after the summit" jobs tour.
Go here to hear Mr. Ramsey and other small business owners discuss how the government can't fix the economy and that the Obama administration policies are actually killing job growth.
I do not like that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the four co-defendants who were involved in the masterminding of the terrorist acts of 9/11 are going to be tried through the U. S. criminal court system. They are not suspects in a crime. They are enemy combatants of foreign lands who are responsible for the planned terrorist activities that were carried out against this country. They committed war crimes. I do not know what Attorney General Eric Holder and those who agree with him are trying to prove!
I am with those who lost family members, relatives, loved ones and/or friends on 9/11 who are vehemently against these enemy combatants getting a trial instead of military tribunal. Listen to Debra Burlingame the sister of Chic Burlingame who died on 9/11. He was the pilot of Flight 77 that terrorists hijacked and flew into the Pentagon.

Please note that there will be a rally on Dec. 5th 12 noon at Foley Square in Lower Manhattan to protest the NYC based trial of 9/11 conspirators. Go here to read and if you agree, sign the letter to Pres. Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and Defense Secretary Robert Gates asking them to reverse course on giving these war conspirators a civilian criminal trial.
Luke 2:8-15 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

I ended my Saturday blog post with the announcement of the Manhattan Declaration. This Chuck Colson video is before the Declaration press conference, but it is still worth a listen.

Sen. Leahy On the Criminal Prosecution of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Go here to view Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) defending the prosecution of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in the U.S. court system as oppose to military tribunal. I personally found the Senator to be rather insensitive to the callers. His indirect comparison of U.S. military tribunals to kangaroo courts takes the cake!
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed of Kuwait, Pakistan, and Afghanistan and the mastermind behind 9/11 makes not just a mass murderer, but an enemy combatant. Enemy combatants belongs under military tribunal prosecution. Besides, Sheikh Mohammed wants to defend himself (that's going to be a circus) and use the the public U.S. court system to glorify radical Islam.
