Arkady's Thoughts

I watched the whole thing, all 48 minutes of it and found the speech to be rather predictable, but I did jot down a few key points of interest for those interested in the general gist of the speech. Generally, Obama's tone reminded me slightly of his campaign rhetoric and he had some inspirational moments convincing his audience that something must be done. True, something needs to be done - but unfortunately his proposals are not the solution, because his analysis of the problem is incorrect. Worse still, despite weeks of discussion and analysis of several key "lies" and fallacies Obama continued to maintain the following: Health coverage will not change: Obama still continues to maintain the impossible. Those that have health coverage will not experience a change. Really ? Except that he plans to dump 40+ million people into our health system, so the strain of so many additional patients not play an adverse role on our coverage? After all, a main problem of our insura...

Let us quickly look at a man by the name of Mark Lloyd and his official position of Associate General Counsel and Chief Diversity Officer (not a czar technically) a a man who was once employed by George Soros ' Center for American Progress (CAP). Beyond the jumble of fancy sounding names, keep in mind that CAP is an extreme left leaning think tank with George Soros ' as a major benefactor . If George Soros is willing to put up his hard earned cash to support this body, good chance it qualifies for his radical agenda. Views on talk radio : Mark Lloyd's rise to fame and inevitable appointment within the Obama administration is his stance on "equalizing" talk radio. He wrote a piece while employed at CAP, proposing a plan to impose harsh fees on successful talk radio stations and divert that funding to the likes of NPR. Come again? Is this just not blatant distribution from successful private stations, to much less successful stations? The thought of wrestling priv...

Obama administration is finding itself in a most unpleasant situation and the results are going to be devastating. You may be aware that Obama has garnered interest from many left of center individuals with his appointment of numerous czars . Beyond czars being unconstitutional as they bypass Senate confirmation hearings, these czars have a more radical past than Obama himself and that should tell you something. Move out Jeremiah Wright, out of the way Bill Ayers, here comes Van Jones. We first learned about Van Jones from Glenn Beck the popular conservative host on Fox News. Incidentally the discovery of Van Jones is accidental and most of the blame can go on the Obama administration, something I am sure they are now regretting. It all began after Beck accused Obama of being a racist, after Obama accused Cambridge police of acting “stupidly” involving an incident with his friend and professor, Robert Gates Jr. Shortly after, Beck found himself under the attack by a group called Color...

Calling out fellow bloggers!  I am getting a bit tired of my old template and I am seeking something new and exciting, specifically more functional.  A template that can display several blocks on the main page with each post featured and the ability to expand the story readily available.  Something like a news/magazine style layout. While this is a blogger blog, I have no problem registering a domain and setting up a manual blogging engine. All help appreciated!

Rasmussen reports ; Obama continues to drop in approval polling. According to the graph and the notion that a picture speaks a thousand words, Obama has to be concerned about the alarming rate his approval numbers are dropping. One has to wonder what is transpiring among the American voting public and how legitimate these numbers are. Rasmussen is one of the most reliable pollsters in America because he constantly polls actual voters, a distinction worth making and an aspect that makes Rasmussen a leader in polling strategy. Voters, unlike 'likely voters' are the most knowledgeable and honest people to question, their sentiment although anecdotal can prove to be extremely useful in determining future trends. Therefore I am not dismissive of these numbers and neither should Obama be. Why is this happening? First likely answer to this dramatic decline is the health care reform bill, raging town halls and grassroots awareness. People truly understand, throwing an entire system un...
