Sunday School at the Church of Obama?

Red and Yellow Black and White, all are equal in his sight?

The Battle hymn of the Republic? with the modified words of

Hooray, Mr. President! You’re number one!
The first black American to lead this great nation!

Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans
To make this country’s economy number one again!

Hooray Mr. President, we’re really proud of you!
And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!

This is so similar to my old Sunday School I didn’t know that their was a Church of Barrack Obama now? It even has its own Sunday School.

What Happened to Change?

I thought that Obama wanted change. Time after time he shows he is the same as Bush.

Court rejects Obama bid to stop wiretapping suit

By DEVLIN BARRETT – 4 days ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration has lost its argument that a potential threat to national security should stop a lawsuit challenging the government’s warrantless wiretapping program.

A federal appeals court in San Francisco on Friday rejected the Justice Department’s request for an emergency stay in a case involving a defunct Islamic charity.

Yet government lawyers signaled they would continue fighting to keep the information secret, setting up a new showdown between the courts and the White House over national security.

The Obama administration, like the Bush administration before it, claimed national security would be compromised if a lawsuit brought by the Oregon chapter of the charity, Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation, was allowed to proceed.

Obama’s Address

Scott — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 01:50:56 +0000

I promised to do a post when I found the transcript of Obama’s address to the US Congress. Well I found it so here we go. In my last post I mentioned how Obama promised to half the federal deficit by the end of this first term. He claims his administration has already started to go through the budget line by line to eliminate wasteful and ineffective programs. According to my recent glance at wikipedia the national deficit was $455 billion. A trillion dollars according to Obama (I’m assuming he is considering the addition of TARP). Who knows what it will be at the end of 2009 with the way the current government is spending like there is no tomorrow.

He mentions eliminating education programs that don’t work, or stopping payments to agribusinesses (notice he doesn’t mention eliminating farm subsidies altogether) and of course stopping cold-war era weapons programs. Even if he finds ways in reducing the federal deficit that much, it is only a drop in the bucket in what really needs to be done. The federal dept tops $10 trillion, even if he halves the 1 trillion, we will be back at where we were last year. This isn’t even considering the $50 that government is obligated to pay in social security and Medicare/Medicaid in the next 40 years. This isn’t changing anything. The government is still broke, and the only reason it continues to function is with it’s ability to print as much money as it wants and since it continues to convince foreign countries like China that investing in US bonds is a good idea. This shouldn’t be so hard to fix, I can go to www.federalbudget.com and start knocking useless chunks right off that will eliminate the debt instantly.

He then goes on to exclaim how he is proud to have passed the “recovery plan” free of earmarks, as if he is actually part of the legislature that passed the bill, and as if the whole bill wasn’t just a bunch of wasteful spending. A bunch of bridges to nowhere, and useless hole digging jobs, may temporarily stimulate the given industry but it won’t increase production of wealth which is the only real way to get out of this mess. If the spending keeps increasing the way it has been he should have quite the time halving the federal deficit.
