I am glad that the unemployment numbers dropped to 9.5%. Although that is not a big drop, it was 9.7%, it shows continued improvement.

This is good in light of the Census workers who lost thier jobs. This could be because of workers that are hired during the Summer months for camps. I almost doubled the number of employees that we have for our Summer Day Camp program.

let's hope this is the beginning of a turn around in our economy. President Obama said this morning that "it is not happening fast enough for the American people."

A hearing is looking into the voter intimidation claim against the New Black Panter Party during the 2008 election and Eric Holder's decision to drop the charges against all but one of the individuals. I think Eric Holder should be fired for letting the New Black Panthers walk with nothing more then an injuction agaist the one carrying the nightstick at the polling place. This was clearly voter intimidation of the worst kind.

Holder states that there was not enough evidence. They are on camera, you don't need anymore evidence than that! It is this kind of non-transparency and non-action that causes me to lose trust in this Administration. Holder should lose his job!

Today the Supreme Court has stated that the 2nd amendment to the Consitution is still valid. "The right of the people to keep and bear arms."

I hope that Ms. Kagan realizes that her job will be to work with the other eight judges not to make new laws but to review cases to see if they are in line with the Constitution. I am worried that she has no paper trail showing how she would rule because she has never been a judge.

For those of you that think Media Matters is a left wing propaganda Website, I would like someone to outline where they are not telling the truth.

More than 75% of drivers travel fewer that 40 miles a day. The new Nissan Leaf can travel 100 miles on a charge. Oh my God, the hand wringers wail, how will it work.

Here's a great company http://www.betterplace.com/ and here's a great article http://www.smartplanet.com/people/blog/pure-genius/electric-vehicles-are...

Hey, electric cars are coming and we will all be better off for it.

Judge Feldman will help a lot of people get back to work. I do not think it would be a wise choice on the part of the Obama Administration to keep on fighting this. Out of all the rigs that are out there this is the only accident that has happened.

I think the Administration should make sure the other wells are safe but it is not right to put a lot of people out of work because of one company who did not have safety standards that would make sure no one got hurt and this disaster would not happen.

If Obama wants people working he should let the oil rigs start up again. It is a win win situation.

As it becomes more and more clear that we can not depend on Congress to do their job we as citizens need to take matters in our hands. A balanced budge amendment would go a long way to bringing the U.S. back to sanity in its financial dealings.

Article V of the Constitution outlines how to amend (modify) the document. It consists of two steps: proposal and ratification.

1. Propose An Amendment
Either Congress or the States can propose an amendment ot the Constitution.
•Both Houses of Congress must propose the amendment with a two-thirds vote. This is how all current amendments have been offered.
•Two-thirds of the State legislatures must call on Congress to hold a Constitutional Convention.

2. Ratify An Admendment
Regardless of how the amendment is proposed, it must be ratified by the States.
•Three-fourths of the State legislatures must approve of the amendment proposed by Congress, or
•Three-fourths of the states must approve the amendment via ratifying conventions. This method has only been used once, to repeal Prohibition (21st Amendment).

Is there a timeline for ratification? The US Supreme Court has held that ratification must happen within "some reasonable time after the proposal." Since the 18th Amendment, Congress has set a term of seven years for ratification.

Is it easy to amend the Consitution? No and it shouldn't be but its not impossible either.

First of all the Democrats who call the GOP the party of big oil need to look at their own party, I did! According to priceofoil.org Blanche Lincoln (D) has received $216,700.dollars, more then any other in Congress.

Tony Hayward should not have gone to England to see his son in a yatch race but, Rahm Emanuel you should look at where your boss was when you criticized Mr. Hayward, on the golf course! It appears he goes there quite often! Again let's stop blaming others and fix the problem, it has been 62 days now with no end in sight.

Whodathunkit: The Thrilla from Wasilla, Mrs. USA, the grizzliest mama of them all is A-OK with folks getting stoned in the privacy of their own homes. “If somebody’s gonna smoke a joint in their house and not do anybody else any harm,” former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said recently on FOX News, the fuzz should just leave them be.

The folks at the Marijuana Policy Project, America’s largest weed legalization lobby, are happy to hear it. But they’d like to see Palin cash that check with some action.

Its about time. After decades of sending goverment checks to dead citizens President Obama is finally doing something about it. Making a national do not pay list. About 20,000 seperate payments with a total of 182 million were sent to dead people in the last 3 years. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services made 65 billion (that's billion) in erroneous payments in fiscal year 2009.

There are other things on the do not pay list also like paying people who are in prison, etc.

Its about time someone did something about this absolute waste of my (read taxpayer) money. They (the crooks, I mean politicans) all pay lip service to curtailing fraud but nothing ever happens. Obama is the first president to actually do something real about it. You go O.
