DEFENSELESS

            Since President Obama gave his rather tepid State of the Union address the pundits have spent a lot of time talking about his apparent disconnect with the American people over the economic problems facing this country. He talked about jobs, and the economy, but for the most part he spent his time proposing new Federal spending (he called it investing) that will just add to the already out of control deficit. I personally agree with many commentators who saw this as a campaign speech rather than a true State of the Union address.

            However, what struck me as the most worrisome aspect of the speech was not so much what Obama said, but what he didn’t say.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

            It is a new year and we have a new Congress taking office. The Republicans have solid control of the House of Representatives while the Democrats still have control of the Senate, but without a filibuster proof majority. The battle lines are already being joined and it is imperative that the American citizens who fought for the election of solid conservatives continue to pay attention to what is happening in Congress and let our Senators and Representatives, both Democrat and Republican, know that we are watching them.

            We made our priorities known through the election and now we need to make sure that Congress does what we demanded.

THE COMING CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS

            Months ago I pointed out that Obama was abusing the power of the President to issue Executive Orders. I also predicted that if the outcome of the election in November went against the Democrats the use of the executive orders would probably increase, potentially causing a major Constitutional crisis. 

            Recently, a far left think tank in Washington D.C. called The Center for American Progress has called for the President to by pass Congress and use his Executive powers to push forward his socialist agenda. The idea is to have Obama become a virtual dictator who will ignore the Constitution and act on his own despite the will of Congress and the American people.

Obama; Tucson vs. Chicago

Dear Friends;

While I commend President Obama for going to Tucson and honoring those who were brutally and viciously shot down by a sick gun man, I condemn him for not doing the same in Chicago when over 500 black teenagers were shot (in one year) as a result of senseless brutal gang violence.
