Isaiah 43: 10-13—“You are My witnesses,” declares Yahweh, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me. I, even I, am Yahweh, and there is no savior besides Me. It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, and there was no strange god among you; so you are My witnesses,” declares Yahweh, “And I am God. Even from eternity I am He, and there is none who can deliver out of My hand; I act and who can reverse it?”

Shalu shalom Yerushalayim: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. (Psalm 122: 6)

Perspective


“Republicans don’t believe it, or at least the insiders involved in the midterm effort don’t believe it. As they see it, they’re in a good position to pick up the 39 seats needed to win control of the House, but polls showing a huge GOP lead are simply wrong.”

#####

“Quickie poll by the We Ask America folks on the Chicago mayor race shows Rahm Emanuel at 30%, Sheriff Tom Dart at 14%, Congressmen Jesse Jackson Jr. and Luis Gutierrez each at 13%.”

#####

“It may be possible for the American electorate’s skepticism and disgust with Congress to become deeper and more bitter, but I am at a loss to think of how that might happen.”

#####

“The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work…”

#####

“Hot Air’s headlines linked a Washington Post piece today on the closing of the last US manufacturing plant for the humble incandescent light bulb.  The article’s focus is on the “irony” of US engineers having come up with the compact-fluorescent light bulb (CFL), as well as the way to manufacture it efficiently, but the actual manufacturing jobs – which are labor-intensive – having migrated overseas.”

“The last major GE factory making ordinary incandescent light bulbs in the United States is closing this month, marking a small, sad exit for a product and company that can trace their roots to Thomas Alva Edison’s innovations in the 1870s.”

#####

“Rahm Emanuel’s a pretty powerful guy in Washington, but not as much here in his hometown, where he’d start a mayoral bid as just one of many credible candidates for the job—one whose obvious strengths as a national Democratic rainmaker are tempered by an uncommon knack for alienating allies.”

#####

“House Republicans have held a series of private discussions to plot their first moves if they win the majority in November—with plans to use spending bills and subpoenas to rein in President Barack Obama and satiate their own ravenous base.”

#####

“On the eve of the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Washington and New York, all evidence suggests that the once-sacrosanct nature of a day when candidates used to clear their schedules except for the most solemn and intimate of events and take down their television ads has fundamentally changed.”

#####

“Democrats are increasingly likely to punt the huge tax vote until a lame-duck session after the November elections.”

#####

“Obama’s running out of time, with the midterm elections less than 8 weeks away. He’s got to convince voters to tune in but not turn out Democratic lawmakers running Congress in favor of the GOP.”

#####

“An emerging Democratic fail-safe plan depends on winning a handful of key congressional and gubernatorial races that could allow the party to retain power even in the face of widespread defeats.”

#####

“Western civilization is shaped by Christianity and the Bible and thus of a certain view of Jews. Western civilization is also shaped by the Enlightenment: rationalism, pragmatism, the enthronement of logic. Much of Middle Eastern society, at least the dominant ideologies of radical Arab nationalism and of Islamism, don’t share that narrative.”

#####

“A Pakistani newspaper is quoting one of the country’s ministers as stating he wants President Obama to offer Muslim prayers at Ground Zero and become the ‘Caliph,’ or ruler, of the Islamic nation.”

#####

“Shhhhhhh, we’re told. Don’t protest the Ground Zero mosque. Don’t burn a Koran. It’ll imperil the troops. It’ll inflame tensions. The ‘Muslim world’ will ‘explode’ if it does not get its way, warns sharia-peddling imam Feisal Abdul Rauf. Pardon my national security-threatening impudence, but when is the ‘Muslim world’ not ready to ‘explode’?”

#####

“All the elements are there: his (Barack Obama’s) thin-skinned narcissism, his deceit, his militant partisanship, his bullying and his dogged adherence to his disastrous policy agenda against all evidence of its failure and against the express will of the American people.”

#####

“Democrats have said this at one point or another about every Republican president since, well, Herbert Hoover. That’s because Democrats have been waiting for the resurrection of FDR like a cargo cult waiting for one last plane that never comes.”

We may be coming out of the Great Recession, but that hasn’t stopped our president from taking time off—and lots of it.


For fun, I decided to google “President Obama returns from vacation” and find out how many vacations he’s taken since he became President of the United States about 20 months ago.  It sounded simple, but it wasn’t.  There are more than 6,000,000 results on Google for that entry so I decided to limit my search to the last 9 months.  Below is a sample of what I found:

I know this list isn’t exhaustive, but candidly, I didn’t have enough time to study the matter any further.  Also, I included Michelle Obama’s luxury excursion to Spain since it generated so much controversy about the number of vacations she and her husband have taken since he became president.  Be that as it may, this list is formidable.

By my count, which I know is based on less than complete data, President Obama has taken at least 7 vacations since December 2009.  That’s at least a vacation every 34 days not counting Michelle’s lavish trip to the Iberian Peninsula.  According to reports, he took 3 vacations in his first month in office.  That kind of benefits package makes even unionized auto workers jealous.

Next, I decided to find out how many rounds of golf the president has played since taking office.  There are more than 43,000,000 results for that question, and I had neither the time nor the desire to search out an accurate answer.  I did run across this tidbit though.  In his first 11 months in office, President Obama played 25 rounds of golf.  That’s more golf than President Bush played in his 8 years in office.  That’s more golf than I’ve played in the 6 years I’ve been retired.  I know the president likes to play basketball too, but after looking into his vacations and golf outings, I didn’t have the courage to investigate his court time.

We may be coming out of the Great Recession, but that hasn’t stopped our president from taking time off—and lots of it.  Keep that in mind the next time you hear President Obama say how hard he is working for us.  The facts just don’t line up behind that claim.
