1. President Obama declared that his efforts have "pulled this economy back from the brink." Yet last month, 42/50 states lost jobs. That is up from 29/50 the month before that. Mr. President that is no recovery.
2. During the Great Depression FDR came to the conclusion that one of the main reasons a recovery was not taking place was because greedy Americans were "hoarding" their gold. So he took it upon himself to institute policies that required every American owning a certain amount of gold to sell it to the Federal Treasury. FDR then would set the price of gold instead of the market. The only problem was that FDR and his friends had no idea what they were doing. They would base the price simply on lucky numbers and superstitions. He once set the price of gold at 21 because "7 x 3 = 21 and seven is a lucky number."
3. Promising words from Gov. Mitt Romney this weekend at the Value Voters Summit:
"I don’t deny that America’s challenges are great, or that overcoming them will require the best that we have to give. But I know as well that times of difficulty always bring out the essential character of our fellow citizens. When I was a boy, my dad used to say that the pursuit of the difficult makes you strong. Well, the pursuit of the difficult will make America strong. We welcome the challenge. It will call on us, once again, to draw on the incredible resilience, ingenuity, and faith of the free men and women of the United States."

I take it you missed the President's appearance on ABC yesterday where he was "grilled" by George Stephanopoulos regarding the President's inability to understand that a fee paid to the government is a tax. In Obama-nation, it isn't a tax, it's a levy, because the levy imposed by the government is "good for you." Check it out in the Wall Street Journal - http://tinyurl.com/lyhy7g
