Is President Obama so sweet or socialism so dear as to be compromised at the price of the chains to unprecedented high taxes or the slavery of your grandchildren to stunning debt?

Forbid it, almighty God.

With apologies to Patrick Henry: I know not what course others may choose, but as for me, give me the freedom of capitalism or give me death.

The word "czar" has the smell of the Russian past. Our president has appointed 30 czars to help him manage his government. No president in our history has ever appointed more than five "assistants" to help him.

These czars have not been vetted or confirmed by the Congress of the United States. They are accountable only to Obama.

Is Obama so insecure or incapable of the management of the government that he was elected to lead?

If these czars fail, only they can be blamed - and never Obama.

If that fails, George Bush can be blamed.

While in the Illinois Senate, Obama voted "present" 129 times. In his early government life, Obama could not take a stand to be responsible.

Will this continue to be the empty suit pattern of our current president?
