Obama Underwrites Offshore Drilling
So why are we borrowing money from China to give to Brazil so they can drill oil for China?
"The U.S. is going to lend billions of dollars to Brazil's state-owned oil company, Petrobras, to finance exploration of the huge offshore discovery in Brazil's Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro. Brazil's planning minister confirmed that White House National Security Adviser James Jones met this month with Brazilian officials to talk about the loan."
Guess who owns a big portion of Petrobras: George Soros.

"Billionaire investor George Soros bought an $811 million stake in Petroleo Brasileiro SA in the second quarter, making the Brazilian state-controlled oil company his investment fund's largest holding. "
Looks like Soros's investment in Obama has paid off.

Proposal on Health Care.
We know that a lot of stuff is added or change when a bill is reconciled between the House and the Senate. My proposal is that before the final bill is voted on the public is given 30 days to read the bill.
That a document would be prepare to explain the bill in terms we can understand. If the bill says, "change line 21 in Law X from 500,000 to 2 million", that the document would say, it means giving Corporation Z a tax right-off of 2 million versus 500,000 for doing Y.
And that when any further changes are made, and additional 14 days are given for public comment.

What Would Jesus Do? and Lilly Ledbetter
Many liberals and socialist proclaim they are followers of Jesus yet ignore his teachings. Below is passage on which someone had a different interpretation than I.
Take the Lilly Ledbetter law which is to resolve unequal pay. Lilly agreed to certain wage, and after learning others were paid more, wanted more. This is in contradiction of this parable. The socialist or liberal would require equal wages, forcing the owner to either pay more than he could afford to the first worker or being less generous to the last.
Scripture: Matthew 20:1-16
1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place; 4 and to them he said, `You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went. 5 Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, `Why do you stand here idle all day?' 7 They said to him, `Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, `You go into the vineyard too.' 8 And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, `Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.' 9 And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. 10 Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius. 11 And on receiving it they grumbled at the householder, 12 saying, `These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.' 13 But he replied to one of them, `Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what belongs to you, and go; I choose to give to this last as I give to you. 15 Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?' 16 So the last will be first, and the first last."
