Herman Cain Making Sense
Although I haven't officially made my choice for the Republican Party Presidential candidate, I like what I hear from Herman Cain. Originally, I dismissed him and was looking at a couple of the other candidates. However, this 9-9-9 plan has struck a chord with me.
I believe that a president must have a sound financial strategy. I haven't heard much from the other candidates and, quite frankly, they leave me cold. If the American people are looking for a true outsider, I believe that Herman Cain may fit the bill perfectly.
When Obama was running for President, he claimed that he would bring hope and change to the people. I haven't seen much hope or change. My healthcare premiums have gone up by 25% over the past 2 years. Unemployment still remains around 9%. Housing prices and new housing are falling to record lows.
When I listen to President Obama, I hear the same things over and over. Instead of having a truly workable plan for unemployment, I hear the same thing again. Nothing has changed for me and I would probably have to say that most of the people I talk with on a daily basis.
I believe that we truly need an outsider and that we need to send people to Washington who care more about the nation than getting re-elected.

Fannie Mae Asks for More Money
After reporting a quarter loss, Fannie Mae is now asking for another $5.1 billion. When is all of this going to stop? We continue to throw good money after bad. It is time to cut the dinghy loose.

Tired of Anthony Weiner
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.
