Last night I read an article by Dr. Paul L. Williams. In the article Dr. Williams states that the Obama adminstration will give $4 billion of our tax dollars to the UN Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and malaria. That's a 38% increase over other years. They are dreadful diseases, for sure, but at a time when many people are unemployed is that wise?
Good morning gentlemen.
Ron Johnson is up to a twelve point lead in the latest polls that I am seeing.
In central Wisconsin, where I am, I have never seen so many Ron Johnson and Scott Walker signs coming from this town. It is a sign (No pun intended...) for things to come. Considering this is a very liberal town, I think it is wonderful to see.
Perfect Indian Summer weather here. God has blessed us with a fabulous week of weather.
Good morning, CM. As Hannity says, if we get back in power, they will be on probation. We will be watching them very closely. If they get wobbly, out they go in 2012.
Is the ability to issue EOs in the Constitution? Or, is it something that has been developed through the years?
I’m off to peruse the Constitution.
I've been meaning to post this photo since I took it 2 months ago. So little time. These 2 WWII heroes were in Patton's 3rd ID. They started in Northern Africa something like D-Day MINUS a year, went up through Sicily, survived Anzio and wound up at Dachau just after it was liberated. My 92-y.o. Dad is on the right.
Good morning 2/3.

Good morning. Those polls look good!
Where are your Dad’s wrinkles?! God bless him. I’m very grateful for his service!
About the Pubbies going wobbly.........They had better not!
“Probation” fits perfectly.
When did this writing of EOs begin?
Thank you for posting that. People like that make me proud to be an American! Bless them.
1789, according to Wikipedia.
Good morning.
Now I understand how you became so handsome. The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Thank you for posting the picture. They are men who stood against evil. Wonderful, wonderful men.
He (with my Mom’s help) takes very good care of himself.
U’re welcome, lysie.
Good Morning!!!! Nice breakfast. Going to Waco and pick up some things for this coming week of golf, friendships renewed, eating, sipping, fun and fivolity.
Reid says those who don’t agree with him are “selfish children”. HA HA whose selfish???
Thank you for your research on the EO's. I want to know more about them, because if we win the House back, he will be throwing those EO's out like he wants to do as much damage to our country as he can before he is fired in November 2012 and FINALLY removed from his illegally held office on January 20, 2013.
I want our real president that takes office on January 20, 2013, to immediately rescind E.O. 13489, which he signed on January 21, 2009, sealing all of his records.
That fear is what has prompted my discussion. Since he writes EOs already, you KNOW he'll be doing it even more when his party isn't in power in the Congress.
Further reading of the article on Wikipedia points to clauses within Article II which can be interpreted for EOs. It is to allow for the smooth implementation of bills already passed. Wikipedi lists two ways an EO can be overridden, by a super majority, which has happened only twice so far, and by refusing to fund. Further, EOs expire only when rescinded by a subsequent president.
