More of Obama’s Big Government Injecting itself Where it Does Not Belong

“The reason [The Obama Administration] [is] bemoaning JPMorgan Chase is because they’re a target. They are a target of this president and his big government allies who would like to use this loss of their own money as a means to regulate them even further; which means banks will do less, will be less risky, will earn less and will charge their customers more.”

For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do?"  Read full essay at The Patriot Post…

Has The President Abandoned Hope and Change Message?

Will Obama’s 2012 campaign focus on class warfare?  The Wall Street Journal examines Obama’s evolving class warfare strategy for 2012.  You decide...

. . . it is of definite moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned, and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts.
