Obama's Lowlights (5/5/11)

Osama Bin Laden – Congratulations to Barack Obama and our intelligence team for finding and killing the 9-11 mastermind. This may be the crowning achievement of this administration and I hope they continue to pressure terrorists to keep them on the run.

Labor - In a stunning federal overreach, the Obama-appointed National Labor Relations Board has ruled that Boeing cannot build an assembly line in the right-to-work state of South Carolina, instead mandating it remain in Washington State.

California - In a new contract negotiated by California governor Jerry Brown, prison guards will be able to store unlimited vacation days, opening the possibility of huge payouts come retirement.

Ethics - Eight doctors accused of writing bogus sick notes for teachers participating in Wisconsin protests are now being investigated.

Syria - Syrian security forces have killed at least five hundred people using live ammunition as protests erupted across the Middle Eastern nation after Good Friday afternoon prayers.

The Dollar - The value of the U.S. dollar has hit a two and a half year low as gas prices approach 4 dollars a gallon (average in U.S.).

ObamaCare – The Supreme Court will not expedite a ruling on the legalities of the ObamaCare legislation.

Earl Albert Moore – The Colorado bombing suspect was let out of prison after serving only 7 years of a 15 year sentence.

New York – The health department is trying to regulate games kids play over the summer. Whiffle ball and dodge ball are rated at “significant risk for injury”.

Recalls – This is the new rallying cry for both Democrats and Republicans. There has been a drastic increase in the number of mayors and state legislators that have been recalled this past year. Very few recalls have ousted incumbents, but recall election costs remain a huge burden for local and state governments.

Polls – Despite Democratic and some Republican efforts, the American public is in favor of the Paul Ryan budget plan to reign in our national debt.

Obama Easter – He attended the Church of another pastor who likes to create political conspiracy theories similar to those used by Jeremiah Wright.

Obama Birth Certificate – Obama finally released his birth certificate, so maybe now Republicans can finally move on and discuss real issues.

Department of Defense – Leon Panetta will head the DOD when Robert Gates steps down and General Petraeus will take over the top Pentagon position.

NASDAQ – In good economic news the NASDAQ hit a 10 year high this past week as markets hit a 3 year high.

Massachusetts – Democratic legislators have voted to limit union collective bargaining rights but there were no protests like in Wisconsin.

Economy – The Gross Domestic Product only grew by 1.8% in the first quarter of 2011, much lower than the previous year.
