The Obama administration has dropped the designation of detainees as "enemy combatants." I don't know what they have come up with as their new designation, but I suggest that henceforth detainees be described as "individuals needing secure and nurturing environments" or INSANE. I this acronym accurately describes the detainees and the Obama's new policy.

The Obama administration has backed away from its proposal to make veterans pay for their own medical care for service related injuries via private insurance. To describe this proposal as outrageous and evil is too mild. It is incomprehensible that an American president would consider, even for a moment, the proposition that American servicemen and women, wounded or injured while serving their country, should have to pay for their own care. The very idea is repugnant to any notion of honor or loyality. Honor or loyality, however, has never been a virtue of the leftist Democrat. The Armed Forces are already wary of Obama; this sort of proposal gives more reason for their mistrust. No commander-in-chief worth the title would even have considered this abomination.

Apparently when Obama promised that no one earning under $250,000 annually would have their taxes raised he omitted a few facts. Such as taxing the health care benefits of working Americans. For many folks, none of whom anyone would think as rick but who have great employee medical insurance, this translates to a potential tax liability in the thousands of dollars. Pair this idea with the insanity that is "Cap and Trade" to tax cardon emissions, which will cause massive increases in utility costs for all Americans, and the Obama administration will achieve in a single term the pauperization of the whole nation.

The publicly owned insurance giant, AIG, paid many executives and employees six figure or greater bonuses. This was ill advised and has resulted in an uproar. What is even more deplorable, however, has been the pathetic demagogy writ large by members of Congress. These legislative titans are howling about bonuses which they specifically, in the stimulus legislation, allowed to be paid. There defense for this, should as it is, is that they didn't have time to read the legislation they passed and didnt' realize everything in the bill! What sort of idiots are these people?

The Obama administration's foreign policy so far as flown under the radar, which is too bad because it has been every bit as disasterous as his domestic moves. In less than two months Obama has insulted the British prime minister, aliened Israel, and caused allies all over the world to question American resolve. Simultaneously our enemies have been emboldened. China harrasses our ships in international waters. Russia is rearming. Iran slaps our open hand away and threatens our destruction and the destruction of Isreal. North Korea prepares to test intercontinental ballastic missiles. Our enemies sense weakness in Obama and our enemies are right.
