Weekly Wrap-Up

The rough and tumble world of politics has been at fever pitch this week, and there is still quite some time before conventional campaigns begin in earnest.

Sen. Harry Reid, we pray that your wife and daughter have a full recovery, and know that they are being cared for by the best medical system available.

President Obama is delaying his trip to Indonesia and Australia to keep the pressure on his fellow democrats to pass his health care reform.

His message is not changing the public’s view health care reform. And apparently, it is not doing much better in Congress. Based on his poll numbers maybe he should not postpone his trip.

According to Investor’s.com, the President would not survive as a CEO if he presented his financial plan to stockholders, in fact, they state he “just might be indicted for fraud”.

The quote of the week is from Michael Goodwin’s piece, “We’re not buying it, O”, when Goodwin writes "We used to arrest people for selling snake oil. Now we elect them."

It isn’t much better in New York, where we have a Lt. Governor who expects New Yorkers to incur more debt. The New York Post Editorial reminds Mayor Bloomberg that he is at fault also. The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle agrees with us that Lawmakers should not put off tough decisions. Do you agree with us that the borrowing has to end? Voice your opinion in our poll this week.

It took AG Andrew Cuomo two long weeks to make the right decision.

Bill Hammond of the Daily News says it all, when he writes, “a guy as smart as Cuomo, should have seen it coming.” Yet he waited for a 13% point drop in his approval, before he did the right thing. The question really becomes, would he have walked away if the poll numbers did not drop? The answer speaks volumes.

One positive bit of news this week, the 9th Circuit Court handed Michael Newdow a well deserved defeat.

Enjoy the weekend!
