It's All About Me!

USA TODAY reports: Before his speech Tuesday at Eastfield College in Mesquite, Texas, President Obama stopped by an early childhood education laboratory to read to children ages 3 to 5.

Among his reading selections: A book about the presidential dog Bo, including a drawing of the president himself.
Can you say, Narcissist?


Did you know?

In an obvious effort to protect President Barack Obama, a group of congressional Democrats has introduced legislation to create an official process that will allow the commander-in-chief to keep presidential records secret after he leaves office.

Ironically, Obama revoked a similar George W. Bush order in one of his first official acts as president. In 2001 Bush penned an executive order severely limiting public access to his presidential records. Shortly after swearing in, Obama killed it as part of his much-ballyhooed commitment to government transparency. At the time, the new president claimed that he was giving the American people greater access to “historic documents.”

If the Democrats’ proposed measure (Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2011) becomes law, former presidents will be allowed to assert a new “constitutionally based privilege” against disclosing records of their liking. Here is how it would work; the Archivist of the United States would be required to notify the former president, as well as the incumbent, of intentions to make records public. Anything that either the former or current president claims should be kept private won’t be released.  Pretty Cool huh?

Well…he told us all loud and clear that he was “going to fundamentally change America”

(CNSNews.com) - The Obama administration passed another fiscal milestone this week, according to new data released by the Treasury Department. As of the close of business on Oct. 3, the total national debt was $14,837,099,271,196.71—up about $44.8 billion from Sept. 30.

That means that in the less-than-three-years Obama has been in office, the federal debt has increased by $4.212 trillion--more than the total national debt of about $4.1672 trillion accumulated by all 41 U.S. presidents from George Washington through George H.W. Bush combined. Really, really cool huh? Yep, bring on more of that Hope and Change…Bring on Cain and Newt!

Remember he told us all loud and clear that he was “going to fundamentally change America” Well, here is what Obama meant by "Change".

Families were more dependent on government programs than ever last year.
Nearly half, 48.5%, of the population lived in a household that received some type of government benefit in the first quarter of 2010, according to Census data.
I have no idea why the good old USA has such a debt problem, do you?

Well at last, here is some good news;

John Lott has noticed a corollary to his thesis More Guns, Less Crime: more guns, fewer murders.

According to Lott in his article published at Fox News, after Chicago’s and Washington DC’s strict control gun laws were stuck down;

Newly released data for Chicago (Obamas so called home town) shows that, as in Washington, murder and gun crime rates didn’t rise after the bans were eliminated — they plummeted. WHAT??? WHAT DID THEY SAY??? They have fallen much more than the national crime rate. (snip)  In the first six months of this year, there were 14% fewer murders in Chicago compared to the first six months of last year – back when owning handguns was illegal. It was the largest drop in Chicago’s murder rate since the handgun ban went into effect in 1982. Well, imagine that!

In addition to the decrease in murders committed with guns, crimes committed with guns fell more than non-gun crimes. Works for me, see ya :)
