Losing Friends!

President Barack Obama once again slammed Las Vegas, NV. I’m not sure of what he actually said, but it was along the lines that people should start saving their money for college, and not to blow it in Las Vegas. U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, which is one of the Reps. From NV wasn’t happy about it. Reid did say that Obama did send a letter that he wasn’t saying anything negative about Las Vegas. In the letter Obama did say that “I was making the simple point that families use vacation dollars, not college tuition money, to have fun.” Obama went on to say that he enjoys himself anytime he visits Vegas. Obama needs to stick to the script that is written for him, and stop thinking for himself. He’s just like any other President, once they try to leave script they say what’s on their mind, which gets them in trouble. Remember when Obama made that comment on the Jay Leno show about the Special Olympics, that got him in trouble. Hopefully he’ll learn from this one and stick to what’s written for him.

Democrats Bullying!

The Democratic party is trying to push over Republican Rep. Joe Wilson for yelling out “you lie” during President Barack Obama’s health care address to Congress. Mr. Wilson said that his emotion got the best of him and he apologized to President Obama. And Obama said he accepted Wilson’s apology, he followed up with “we all make mistakes.” Even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said we should move on. But other Democrats in the party want to admonish Republican Rep. Joe Wilson, which is really a slap on the hand. The Democratic party wants him to now apology on the House floor, which would be recorded in record. Mr. Wilson and others feel that these Democrats are just trying to push their power around. President Obama feels this is over, as does House leader Pelosi, so lets drop it. I think if the Democrats keep pushing this it’s only going to help Mr. Wilson. I read that Mr. Wilson has already received almost $1 million in his campaign fund to win again in 2010. And if it looks like the Democrats are trying to silent someone in Congress it will hurt them coming next elections. Most people feel this act is over, so lets leave it along, the President has, and it’s about him.

White House Resignation!

Today President Barack Obama’s environmental adviser Van Jones submitted his resignation. He‘s the guy that’s all rapped up in a controversy over his past statements. He‘s what caused him his job at the White House and hurt President Obama – “Jones in the past made derogatory comments about Republicans, and his name appeared on a petition stating that the U.S Government was connected to the events surrounding the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. He believes that the U.S Government knew it was going to happen, and then let it happen. His views have no place in the White House, and that’s why President Obama accepted his resignation and sent him on his way. I should say that Jones issued an apology this last Thursday for his past statements, but didn‘t help or set well with the Obama administration or Republicans. Now that Jones is gone President Obama can refocus on his Healthcare reform.

What Americans Are Saying!

Americans are starting to feel that President Barack Obama isn’t doing what’s best for America. Most Americans are upset with the national healthcare package and the growing budget deficit. His approval rating has dropped 12 points just over the last few months. However his approval rating is still in the high 50’s. But then again President Bush’s approval was in the 50’s in his first year as well. I’m sure Obama’s approval will end in the 30’s as did Bush’s, it’s all part of the job, you can’t make everyone happy. Anyway, this poll was done by the Washington Post-ABC News survey through Aug. 13-17. And of course it has an error of plus or minus three percentage points.
