Welcome to the new segment called Weekend Top 10, a collection of 10 hand-picked bits of news and information from the past week. Some of these may be top news stories while others may be things you haven’t heard about. I hope you enjoy it. Don’t forget to check back each weekend to get caught up on the things you might have missed. Also, check out the other new weekly segment titled Thursday’s Thoughts.
10. Trillion Dollar Health Care
The Congressional Budget Office released a report saying Obama’s health care plan will cost $1 trillion while his stated $2 trillion in savings will be difficult to achieve. It says the plan will provide insurance to 39 million Americans who are currently uninsured, but also estimates that 23 million Americans will be forced to give up the insurance they currently have, leaving a net gain of only 16 million people. Current costs put the total at around $62,500 per insured person, but this will likely increase as all predicted government costs do. Democrats are saying a tax on sugary foods may be implemented to help pay for the plan. Government imposed diets, anyone?
9. Ensign Admits Affair
Senator John Ensign (R-NV) admits to having an affair. Some sources hint there may have been an extortion attempt on the senator.
8. No Bailout for California
Shocking! The White House says California will have to deal with its financial woes on its own. Could this be a glimmer of actually being responsible with taxpayer money?
7. To Meddle or Not to Meddle?
Obama says we have no business meddling in the aftermath of the elections in Iran, yet he has no problems meddling in Israel by dictating that the U.S. wants Israel to agree to a Palestinian state. Can you spell h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e?
6. Obama Fires IG
President Obama fired his Inspector General but failed to give Congress the 30 day notice required by law. Read More→
President Obama has stated that he believes there is a danger in the United States thinking it can impose its values on another country. He has stated that the U.S. will listen, not dictate, when it comes to world affairs. So I find it a little unsettling when the hypocrite takes this policy with every nation, except Israel.
North Korea can test nuclear weapons, launch multiple missiles and threaten the world with nuclear attack and Obama says virtually nothing. The Jew-hating leader of Iran can publicly voice his desire of wiping Israel off the map while he attempts to develop a nuclear program and what does Obama say? Well, he says that Iran has a legitimate right to pursue nuclear energy. With anything that NOKO or Iran throws at Obama, he just turns his head. But not Israel. When it comes to Israel, Barack Obama is perfectly fine dictating terms regarding their conflict with the Palestinians. He is perfectly fine with issuing conditions that the U.S. expects Israel to comply with. He is perfectly fine with pressuring them to give in to his demands.
My question is why? Why is it that Obama bows to the Saudi King, releases Islamic terrorists from Gitmo, ignores the possible exterminaton of Israel by a nuclear armed Achmedinejad, yet has no problem imposing his terms on the Jewish state of Israel?
Maybe the answer lies somewhere beneath the shiny surface of Barack Obama. Maybe it is rooted in the Muslim influences bestowed upon him by his father. Maybe is is rooted in other influences, such as the teachings of his pastor of twenty years, Jeremiah Wright, who uses language like “them Jews” and “G-damn America”. Maybe if the state run media outlets had done their job of vetting presidential candidates, America would have known more about how Barack Obama viewed the conflict between Muslims and Jews.
Before Barack Obama took the oath of office, I said he would be the least Israel-friendly President we have ever known. Sadly, that is turning out to be true and the horrible day may come when Iran launches the second Holocaust…and Obama will have the blood of another six million Jews on his hands.
Who the heck is Shawn Swisher? I am a man who believes America is truly a great country. I believe we need to return to the Constitution and the Christian principles this country was founded on. I believe we must protect and preserve our freedoms, or we will most definitely lose them. I believe left wing liberals are a bunch of loons. I am a conservative... join me in the revolution!
