Obama wants to cut the defense budget by over 10%. No surprise there. In two short weeks he has already taken several steps to make this country less safe. Pray for our country people...

Let the games begin

Now that Mr. Obama has shown his soft, "We Are the World," "Can't we all just get along" side, Fidel Castro is the first to see just how far Obama can be pushed. No surprises here. I wonder who will be next in line?

Don't you dare disagree

Mr. Obama is warning republicans to "keep politics to a minimum" during the economic stimulus discussion:

In other words, if anyone disagrees with him he is going to accuse them of playing politics in order to discredit their objections, regardless of how valid they may be. He is very good at getting in that preemptive strike in order to disarm his opponents before the battle even starts. It's part of his standard operating procedures.

Friend of Fidel

Oh look, Fidel Castro likes Obama and hopes he can carry out his ideas:

Fernandez said Castro called Obama "a man who seems absolutely sincere," who believes strongly in his ideas "and who hopefully can carry them out."

Yet another fact for Mr. Obama's resume. Just to help you keep score:

1. Releasing potential terrorists
2. Killing more babies
3. Getting cozy with communist leaders

I can't WAIT to see what his scorecard looks like by the end of the week.

Let them kill babies

Obama is going to lift a ban on funding groups providing abortions overseas:

Not that this is a suprise -- Obama is THE MOST pro-baby killing politician in America.

So, so far we have setting potential terrorists free and killing more babies. Wow, we are SO on the right track so far...

It's already started

Wow, he has been in office for one day and he has already taken his first step toward making us less safe:


He wants to free people who could have been involved in the killing of over 3000 Americans on 9/11 or in other terrorist acts around the world. Why? A quote from the draft:

"It is in the interests of the United States to review whether and how such individuals can and should be prosecuted,"

This should be interesting to follow for the next few months:

Promises from Mr. Obama's press conference this morning:

  • Immediate and decisive action to spur the creation of new jobs
  • Changing the way the government in Washington does business
  • No longer squandering billions of tax dollars on programs that have outlived their usefulness or exist solely because of the power of a lobbyist or special interest group
  • Scour the budget to eliminate what we don't need and improve the things that do
  • Save or create 3 million jobs through economic stimulus
  • Restore the American peoples' confidence in government
  • Tax relief for middle income families
  • Unprecedented measures to allow taxpayers to track exactly how the money in the recovery package is being spent
  • Revamp federal buildings to make them more energy efficient

Nancy Killifer named Chief Performance Officer. Her promises today:

  • Deliver a new, more efficient, and more effective government

When asked about how he is going to reform Medicare and Social Security and what his approach will be, his first response was to remind everyone that he is inheriting a $1.2 trillion budget deficit. Careful Mr. President, you won't be able to blame the previous administration for everything for much longer. His answer to the question was that he should have an answer in February.

He was asked about his level of involvement in the Gaza situation and if he is taking an active role in the situation or simply getting updates from the Bush administration leaders. He responded that we can't have two different administrations addressing foreign policy matters at the same time. Well said. One point for you.

Asked what specifically was stimulative about his economic recovery package. Tax relief for middle income families and for businesses to spur investment in the private sector. Help states under budget pressures prevent laying off vital state workers. He stated that there are no earmarks in the recovery package.
