There are a number of disturbing aspects in the change that seems to be offered by the Obama Administration, especially concerning his economic policies.

One has to ask questions that get to the heart of the matter, such as, “Where will the Canadians go if the United States institutes national health care?”

A recent interview in the New York Times entitled, “His Economy,” meaning Obama's, opened up many more questions than it answered. The article even raised the question of how the elderly will be cared for medically if it is too expensive? The idea that we need to have a debate to see how much we are willing to pay to keep them alive was subtle, but it was there.

Euthanasia is a reality in the Netherlands and Germany today, one overtly, the other covertly. I wonder which will be the case here, as Obama has more than hinted that health care will be rationed, with some less viable persons possibly being left without care based on cost-effective policies and protocols.

In the article Obama admitted that he — and his fellow elitists — do not have all the answers, but they have all the regulations. Extend the lines on that one. It is frightening to think that a president of the United States can set in motion regulations that will affect the entire economy and citizens of our country and yet admit that they do not have the answers necessary to know if what they are doing is the proper solution or not.

On the front page of the same Sunday, May 3 edition of the Times, the article about Obama’s view of the law is equally scary. Law, by definition, means that it is stable and unchanging. If it is law, it is based on principle and what is right. It should be the same today and tomorrow. If it is right today, it is right tomorrow. If it is wrong today, it should be wrong tomorrow. The Ten Commandments, an obvious case in point, used to be taught in school. Perhaps if still even mentioned, they will have become the "Ten Maybes" by now.

But Obama views law as being pragmatic; that the court should never get too far ahead or behind public sentiment. Under such thinking the law becomes whim. According to his premise we should take a poll and decide what the law is! No wonder our Constitution is in trouble. Under our stable law, ignorance of the law is no excuse. If it becomes whim, we will all be ignorant.

We can plainly see that the law is becoming what the leader says it is. No wonder they do not want God’s Law in the schools. It interferes with those who think they are God.

Who gave the power to the President to change the CEOs of corporations? Who gave the power to the President to change ownership of corporations? Since when can he tell Chrysler that the union now holds the majority ownership? Can you spell s-o-c-i-a-l-i-s-m?

The real worry is that due to the government policies contracts no longer have the weight they once had. The contracts for loans and other financial instruments mean nothing in the wake of the Obama bailouts.

Has anyone ever heard of stockholders? Creditors? People have put their earnings into financial packages for their retirement that include some of these corporations. Contracts have been negotiated and signed, lending money to these corporations that now have been told “too bad, you lose.”

In addition, we see that our largest corporations are now being forced into operation by foreign giants, such as Fiat. NAFTA didn’t suck industry and jobs out of the country fast enough for certain politicians so another route was chosen.

Having Germany’s Daimler in the mix a few years ago did not help our automobile industry. Now we have Italy’s Fiat. More and more we are driving Japanese cars.

One can argue that the government has the right to do these things if they are putting up the money. But do two wrongs make a right?

It is wrong — unconscionable and unconstitutional — that the government is bailing out anyone. Let us not let them forget it isn’t their money — it’s the taxpayers’. You know, the ones who are becoming more impoverished and unemployed as the days go by.

Of Population Planners and Hebrew Midwives Since they plan to regulate out those who "legally" provide care to some persons, a "black market" should arise. Can anyone truly have authority to prevent voluntary payment for legitimate services? When Pharaoh (later Herod) tried to kill a certain class, God blessed the midwives who disobeyed the falsely asserted power. Time to learn the lesson. While socialism is the means used to try to foist this upon us, the population planning agenda is the motive for doing so. (I recommend Dr. Stanley Monteith's old expose, available here: http://www.radioliberty.com/apop.htm .)

Dumbed down public and compliant media In the recent 100 days speech, Obama stated: "And it was my obligation and continues to be my obligation to make sure that any taxpayer dollars that are in place to support the auto industry are aimed not at short-term fixes that continue these companies as wards of the state, but rather institutes the kind of restructuring that allows them to be strongly competitive in the future." Not one media person in the room called him on it nor were there any protests from concerned citizens. Why? It seems we have been dumbed down by a compliant media to the point of accepting whatever a "President" says as the gospel truth. First of all, where in the U.S. Constitution does Obama derive any authority or as he puts it obligation to ensure that taxpayer dollars are in place to support the auto industry? I challenge anyone to produce the authority for that (and it ain't the misused, so-called General Welfare clause.) Obama stated later that "I don't want to run the auto companies. I don't want to run the banks...So the sooner we can get out of that business, the better off we're going to be.....I'm not an auto engineer." So, then why is he presuming to interfere in the free market? He freely admits to not having the expertise or even the time in his schedule. If we continue to elect leftist leaning politicians and then timidly stand aside while they with no authority, or expertise take over what once was a free market our country is going to follow the same paths that the Soviet Union and China has followed. A small self chosen elite will run our economy into the ground for their benefit with the majority of us ending up as financial slaves to the banks scratching out a living with barely enough to get by. The American people need to wake up and take the nation back by electing representatives that will abide by their oath of office to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

The great states of Oklahoma and Texas have spoken "An update from Oklahoma . The state law passed today, 37 to 9, had a few liberals in the mix, an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is a conservative state, based on Christian values...! Guess what..........We did it anyway. We recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from, unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. Hope we didn't send any of them to your state. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake. Guess what..........we did it anyway. "Yesterday we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegals to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional. Guess what........We did it anyway. "Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. That, for your information, makes Oklahoma and Texas the only states to do so. Guess what.........More states are likely to follow. Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, both Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, just to name a few. Should Mississippi act, so will Florida . Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. "The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma , a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a set back for the Kennedys and Ms Pelosi. Guess what..........We did it anyway. By the way, Obama does not like any of this. Guess what....who cares...we're doing it anyway."
