Obama's Lowlights (2/11/11)

The Economy – There has been mostly positive news about the economy and its recovery. However, although unemployment dropped to 9%, its lowest level in 2 years, the economy only added a meager 36,000 jobs. The reason for this is simple; the labor force continues to shrink as more and more people stop looking for work.

Education – According to Reuters, in 2009, only 21% of all high school seniors were proficient or better in science.

Social Security – The Congressional Budget Office projects that social security will officially run out of money by 2037.

Mexico Border – There is more evidence mounting that Muslim extremists have been entering the U.S. from Mexico.

Spain – They may very well be the next European Union member to have a financial collapse. Their unemployment rate is over 20%. And let’s not forget that liberals want the U.S. to emulate their Green Jobs economy.

Planned Parenthood – The organization now offers gift certificates to be purchased for abortions. Meanwhile; recent videos show the organization embracing illegal activity, similar to the ACORN videos released last year. New Jersey Governor, Chris Christy, has stopped funding the group because they are fiscally irresponsible with a 1 billion dollar budget deficit.

Debt Interest – In 2009, the U.S. paid nearly 30 billion dollars a month for the interest on its debt. Compare that to the yearly budget for the Department of Education, which is 45 billion dollars annually. In fact, the monthly interest on our debt can pay for the annual budget of the Labor and EPA departments combined.

Switching Affiliation – Twenty-Five state Democratic legislators have switched over to the GOP in 2010.

GM – While GM sales are down in the U.S., for the first time they sold more cars in China than in the U.S. If GM can gain share in China, there prospects may be very good.

The Post Office – They will be closing another 2000 post offices nationally in an attempt to cut into their 8.5 billion dollars in losses in 2010.

Rachael Maddow – This past week she covered a satire story as factual. Maddow and her staff are so eager to take it to conservatives they will not investigate to verify if a story is legitimate before airing it.

ObamaCare – Aetna is discontinuing its individual healthcare insurance plans because of provisions in the new reform legislation. Those with current Aetna policies will see their coverage discontinued. “So if you like your insurance, you get to keep it” – as the President suggested – is a lie. As of this week, there were 733 waivers given to companies and organizations. Without the waiver, they would no longer be able to provide their employees and their members healthcare insurance.

Global unrest – One reason for all the Muslim protests and revolutions around the globe is not only because they loathe their dictator leadership, but because of the cost of food, which has reached record levels. Higher food prices make the oppressed even poorer.

New Mexico – Governor Susana Martinez has rescinded the state’s sanctuary policy for dealing with illegal immigrants.
