Obama's Lowlights (4/21/11)

Israel - Militants in Gaza fired 45 mortars, rockets and missiles at Israel last week. One hit a school bus, critically injuring a boy. Moments earlier, the bus had unloaded the rest of children aboard.

Warrants - According to a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, border security can seize electronic devices like laptops without a warrant.

Pakistan - A $20 million grant from USAID will pay for a Pakistani version of Sesame Street.

Planned Parenthood - Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) has compared the defunding of Planned Parenthood to Nazi actions during World War II.

Government Shutdown – If the government shutdown, California Representative Linda Sanchez would have demanded a paycheck. Not surprising since she supports welfare – the payment to people for doing nothing.

Chicago Schools – They are forcing kids to eat government served lunches and forbid students from bringing homemade lunches.

Arizona Immigration Law – The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court upheld a ruling by a lower judge that strips the most important provision from SB 1070 legislation.

New Budget – It did not take Obama long to take credit for the largest spending cut in U.S. history. Remember, his proposed budget did not have 40 billion in cuts. And when the budget is increased to such astronomical levels, it should be easy to find 1% to cut.

White House – They reported that Obama regrets his 2006 decision to vote against raising the debt ceiling.

ObamaCare – Missouri Attorney General, Chris Kostner, has joined the Florida suit against the legislation. Kostner is the first Democratic Attorney General to join the suit. Remember, Missouri citizens voted against the legislation by nearly a 3 to 1 margin.

Wisconsin Recall – The aftermath of the new law restricting union bargaining rights has led to both sides pushing to remove their Senators. To date, only 6 of the 33 Senators will face a recall election (3 Democrats and 3 Republicans).

Obama’s Debt Speech – The speech was so boring it caused VP Biden (Obama’s right hand financial wizard) to dose off.

Boston - Fox News reports "Boston Mayor Thomas Menino has banned soda, sports drinks and sweetened ice teas from city property, according to a recent government press release."

New Jersey - New Jersey has spent more than $3 million in clothing allowances for its state workers, according to a new report.

TSA - The parents of a 6-year old girl are speaking out after video of an invasive screening from the TSA agents went viral.

Pay - Despite protests about equal pay from feminist groups, a new study has shown that women between the ages of 22 and 30 make 8 percent more than their male counterparts.

Easter - A Seattle public school has decided to rename Easter eggs to appear more politically correct. Their new name? Spring spheres.
