Copenhagen
Senator Jim Inhofe will be travelling to Copenhagen to make sure that the representatives there hear that Obama really does not have the power or backing of the Senate or the American people to commit to the 17% carbon emissions reduction by the United States by 2020 or the additional $200 Billion that he is committing to help 3rd World Countries to help them reduce their emissions, that Obama plans to promise in his speech in Copenhagen this week.
(Not that we have any the $200 billion or an economy to support the 17% emissions reduction through either Cap and Trade or the latest EPA regulation, that will be challenged in the courts…) But, if we are giving $200 Billion to the 3rd World Countries, how about we use that for food, clean water and education instead?!?
Next step will need to be pressuring Congress to override the EPA’s ruling from last week.
HealthCare Debate
On Friday I was watching the Senate Healthcare Debate. Senators Wyden, Bayh and Collins are offering a bipartisan amendment to allow people who are not getting subsidies from the government to purchase insurance with a high deductible in order to keep costs down. They actually admitted during the debate that premiums would increase for these people without this amendment. We keep saying WE DON"T WANT THIS BILL and they are saying to us, "this will make it better". They are treating us like children who don't want to take our medicine.
On the Senate floor Senator Mitch McConnell said the recent CNN poll showed that 61% of Americans oppose this bill. I wonder if any of the Democratic Senators care?
It was announced on the Senate floor by Senator Enzi this morning that the CMS (Center for Medicare Services) announced that the Reid bill bends the cost curve up and is unsustainable. I hope the Democrats hear this.
I also just heard Senators McConnell and Johannis on Fox News state that this bill will definitely cost everyone more... as we know the entire premise of reform and cutting costs was a big fat lie. The GOP had the CMS go over the bill and the actuary verified that cost would be much higher than the CBO and Congress are saying and that the cost will continue on an upward curve.
Cavuto (FNC) had a surgeon that said there is also a provision in the new Medicare provision of the HC bill that will only someone 90-days in the hospital in one year. So if you have been in perfect health all your life and never collect a dime from insurance, but all of a sudden come down with a major illness, accident or condition, you will have to pay out of pocket for your hospital stay beyond 90-days, if it all falls into one year.
And the bad news just keeps on coming....
At one point the GOP explored the option of expanding Medicare and they were told that it would cause an immediate death spiral to this already ailing program… yet now the Dems are selling this as their Public Option.
Add the above to:
EXPOSED: WAS EXPANDING MEDICARE OBAMA’S PLAN TO GET TO ‘SINGLE PAYER’ ALL ALONG?
(Monday 12.14.09) But some good news… am watching CSPAN as Congress is discussing the independent non-partisan branch of government CMS (Committee of Medicare services) requested by the GOP and released on Friday, outlining the EFFECTS of current health bill on Medicare .... SUMMMARY: a death spiral for AMERICA ... and the Medicare system, WATCH AND TAKE HEART ... Reid's bill is dying !!! (at least this version) .... Thank you LORD and to all those who have kept the pressure on their Senators!!!!

Oprah’s White House Christmas Special
For anyone that missed it… Oprah tried to save the President’s “Christmas Image” with the American public, with her special: Christmas With the Obamas. The outcome wasn’t too effective.
Code Red: Anti-ObamaCare Rally in D.C.
Tea Party Anti-ObamaCare Rally in D.C. Tomorrow (Dec 15th). A coalition of Tea Party Groups, As A Mom (soon to have a new website), Americans for Prosperity and individual Patriots responding to the callout by Republican Rep.

Momentum Building for Code Red Rally
It's time we all stop pretending that what is happening with this Obamacare debate is about "helping the uninsured" or "fixing the healthcare system" or "giving the people what they want." It's about none of those things. Its about amassing as much power in a central government as humanly possible. It's about wealth redistribution. It's social engineering at its absolute worst.
The American people must take this political system back from those who have hijacked it in one of the most abhorrent power grabs that we the voters have ever seen. It's the holiday season so the Democrats are counting on you to be otherwise occupied and too busy to stand against their massive expansion of government. Let them underestimate us again just as they did last summer. Let these unrepresentative politicians proceed with their legislative chicanery and self-righteous grandstanding. We can expose them and confront them in the classic American spirit--a public gathering on their doorstep. On December 15th at 1:30pm, we will remind Pelosi, Reid, Schumer et al. that they work for us and not the other way around. We will demand that they follow the will of the people, not dismiss and degrade it by putting future generations into a deficit dungeon. We will put every politician who supports this travesty on notice: enjoy your remaining time in the U.S. Capitol because we're coming for your seat.
The American people will not forget those who turned their backs on us and voted for a bill that they hadn't read and which will do nothing but ensure that one of the best healthcare systems in the world is compromised.
Momentum is building for the Code Red Rally. Get the details here.

Religion and Public Schools Issues
A battle over religion is brewing in central Indiana after a public school wanted second graders to sing a song declaring, “Allah is God.” The phrase was removed just before the performance after a national conservative group launched a protest.
The principal of Lantern Road Elementary School in Fishers, IN, said they were trying to teach inclusiveness through their holiday production. It included references to Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Las Posadas and Kwanzaa. However, no other deity, other than Allah, was referenced in the show

Obama’s Performance Rating
Obama Gives Himself a B+ for his performance as President so far… New Rasmussen Pole Released today puts him at an all time low – 44% which includes the bump from those that approved of his final decision to send troops to Afghanistan and his best speech (although not for the venue) when accepting the Nobel Peace Prize last week but only 24% give Obama a strong approval… 44% is the lowest approval rating of any president at this point in office…after only 10.5 months in office. Yes folks, it hasn’t even been a year. :-(
And who knows what else… It is only Monday~
