Every time I turn on the television or radio, there is yet another story about Anthony Weiner. I am so tired of hearing about him and how he sent lewd messages and digital photographs of himself to women.
With a bad economy and unemployment at 9.1%, we need to be working on getting people employed and improving the economy. Instead, we are spending too much time talking about Weiner and his escapades.
The Republicans need to stay on message and stop talking about Weiner. He has already shot himself in the foot and will be a perfect candidate to beat in 2012. Let me stay in office and bet him in 2012. Additionally, let the Democrats do the chopping. Let them waste their time talking about Weiner. Republicans have a perfect opportunity to take back the White House and win the Senate. STAY ON MESSAGE! It is all about the economy, stupid!

The Obama Administration Strikes Again with Executive Fiat
In an recent Foxnews.com article, the Obama administration through the DEA has managed to halt the death penalty in states by confiscating one of the three drugs used in lethal injection, sodium thiopental.
Instead of allowing states to make the choice for themselves on if they wish the death penalty, the government is using the Drug Enforcement Administration to do their bidding. When asked about this silent campaign, the DEA referred it over to the Department of Justice. To date, they have not responded to questions about this action.
Once again, the administration shows how easy it is to work silently to erode away the rights of states and individuals. I thought the DEA was supposed to fight illegal drug cartels and kick in doors of illegal drug users. I guess things have changed. There is that word again, change.
Candidate Obama promised us change. We certainly see what sort of change he has in mind. In just the short time that he has been president, Obama has used executive orders to get his way and control what he likes and dislikes. Remember, back in February of this year how Obama made the call about the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act. Obama said that it was unconstitutional.
Excuse me, Mr. President, my government textbooks and the Constitution of the United States said that the Supreme Court was the only branch who can rule on the constitutionality of a law. I guess things have really changed.

Government Shutdown: Line in the Sand for the American Voter
There have been many news articles about the possibility of a government shutdown and each takes about the outcome for the political parties. They all ask the same question, "Who will lose in 2012?" Many feel that Republicans will lose if the government shuts down. Some say the Democrats would lose.
I do not think it is really the case of win or lose for the parties. I believe it is a question of resolve for the American people. If we truly believe in deep cuts across all programs including defense and entitlements, then the American people need to support their representatives and senators by telling them to cut and cut deep.
I believe that the American public is not serious about cutting. In a recent poll, 80% of Americans believe that Social Security should not be touched at all. 64% believe that we need to cut waste. They have learned the words of politicians. Inside of making hard decisions, they have opted to take the less controversial position of cutting waste. Well, that's not going to do it. We need to make deep cuts and all programs should be on the table. Each should be examined and, if necessary, axed.
Are we as taxpayers going to allow Congress to enter into compromises just so they can get re-elected? If you truly believe in cutting spending deeply, tell your representatives and senators to cut and cut deeply. Tell they that you will support and vote for them in 2012, because they took a stand for fiscal responsibility.

The Cost to Buy Presidential Election has Gone Up
Obama's campaign manager is urging donor to give $350,000 each. According at recent CNN article, Obama would have over $1 billion for his re-election campaign.
I am sure he will receive that much money and more. Between the labor and teachers unions, he will be rolling in cash. If he gets re-elected, the unions will change their strangehold on the US to a deathgrip. Our country will belong to the unions.
Socialist and communists are aligning themselves with the unions to push their agenda to destroy the free enterprise system and force people to join their cause. All those who even think about voicing their opinion will be bullied.
In the recent events in Wisconsin, we witnessed the tactics of the socialists and communists as they infiltrated the rank and file of the teachers unions. Big labor under the command of Richard Trumka provided resources to push his agenda.
Trumka was asked about his visits to the White House and how many times he gets to spew his rhetoric into the ears of advisors.

Global Markets Respond Favorably to OPEC News
As OPEC mulls over the possibility of increasing oil production, the global markets respond favorably. Dow futures and NASDAQ futures are up slightly this morning. Oil prices are down a bit.
Do people truly believe it is over and we are past the worst. Far from it. Keep watching the Middle East. Although the "Day of Rage" in Saudi Arabia has been postponed due to low turnout, it will happen. Saudi security forces will ruthlessly put down the protest marches. If they do, protests will get larger and more violent.
The Saudi government has already started to block certain websites in preparation of protests. There are forces at work that will not be stopped.

Chief Analyst at Oil Information Service Makes Big Prediction
Chief Analyst, Tom Kloza, at the Oil Information Service predicts that gas prices could surge another 10 to 15 cents this week alone.
Oil at a 2 and Half Year High
Due to the problems in Libya and possible supply disruption, oil is now trading at $106. I read that for every $1 increase in oil prices, it translates to a 2 cent increase in gasoline at the pump.
Although Saudi Arabia has said that it will make up the loss, the real problem is the unrest in the Middle East. It is just a matter of time before rioting starts in Saudi Arabia. Revolutionaries have called for March 7th to be a "day of rage".
If the Saudi government reacts like other nations, it will be like pouring gasoline on a fire. If there is a supply disruption in Saudi Arabia, we can easily see the price of oil go to $200+ a barrel.
We need to drill now and everywhere. I honestly believe that the economy cannot handle this problem well. It will plunge us into an economic meltdown the likes we have never seen.
