• Attempts of the Office of Surface Mining to impose regulatory requirements on coal mines in 19 states
• The National Labor Relations Board’s attempts to tell Boeing where it could base manufacturing facilities
• Attempts of the Department of Health and Human Services and the administration to order religiously affiliated organizations such as schools and hospitals to provide birth control coverage in their health plans.
• Various Justice Department moves opposing voter ID and immigration laws.

COMMENTS:

And, of course, we have no way of knowing whether or not Obama is in this country legally.  If he was in fact born in Kenya, what is his immigration status? 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. Why doesn’t Newt bow out and let Rick tackle Mitt head-on?  (Edna ~ Central Point, OR)

A. Newt could still pull this out.  Besides, what you are missing here is that Mitt’s approval ratings are running in the mid-40% area, which means that 55% or so of the Republicans are still not enamored with him.  On that basis, Mitt should be the one dropping out. 

Q. I heard something on the news yesterday about water bills going up by as much as 300%.  I didn’t get the whole story.  (Ronnie ~ Middletown, CA)

A. Water systems around the country are old and deteriorating.  Unlike other businesses who set aside money for repairs and replacement, the nation’s water utilities have not been doing so.  That means we consumers will have to pay for these fixes through higher rates.  I don’t think Obama is going to let us drill for more water, either. 

Q. ObamaCare cost $111 billion more last year than forecast.  Why?  (Jan ~ Kellogg, ID)

A. The House is looking at it and Obama’s Health guru, Kathleen Sebelius doesn’t have the foggiest idea.  The increase cannot be explained by legislative changes or new economic assumptions, and therefore means that underlying assumptions about the way the subsidies should work were wrong.
