OBAMA’S LAST STRAW?

President Obama announced yesterday what could be the straw that breaks the proverbial camel’s back. His record $3.8 billion budget for 2011 comes on the heels of his remarks about “runaway deficit spending.” In making his announcement, he cited the need for jobs as an immediate priority.

COMMENTS:

President Obama has been giving mere lip service to job creation for a year now, asking for and getting budget-busting legislation passed for stimulus and “American Recovery Act” programs that have not yet proven effective. This budget, if passed, will not go into effect for another five months, meaning that any money being spent for the creation of jobs will not get into the pipeline until fall at the earliest. The President has not proposed any immediate positive steps to alleviate the fear and stress of the unemployed or the under-employed. Every time he says that spending is “unsustainable,” you need to grab your wallet because you know that the following day he’s going to be on prime-time TV looking for another trillion or two dollars to spend. ENOUGH ALREADY!  (And I thought Bush picked my wallet clean.....)

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. I heard the FBI shot a Detroit Muslim 20 times? (Yousef ~ Los Angeles, CA)
A. Yes, last October they shot an Imam alleged to be urging his followers to create violence against Americans, as he pulled a gun on them. If I had been there under the circumstances, he would have been shot 30 times.


Q. Internet crimes are skyrocketing? (Brent ~ Sunnyvale, CA)
A. Yes. Keep your security software up-to-date; I don’t mean an annual update, either; your software should be coming at you several times a week with updates. I turn my computer off at night. Be very careful when you go to open emails from Wachovia, Bank of America, Fed-Ex, and the like. Change your passwords, and I strongly recommend at least 8 characters with a mix of numbers and alpha characters and some in upper case. If you are on a site doing financial transactions, don’t just close the webpage when you are done, sign off first. If your operating system or other software has updates, download them and install them because they are usually fixes for ways hackers have discovered to get into your computer. Finally, keep a gun handy.


Q. What’s this I hear about state governments rushing to pass legislation to prevent Obama-care from requiring citizens to have health insurance? (Ginger ~ Springfield, IL)
A. More than two-thirds of the states are forging ahead with constitutional amendments to ban government health insurance mandates. Obama may have to order the Supreme Court to overrule them.
