and women.

Yes, like Sara Palin, Jeane Kirkpatrick, and Margaret Thatcher.

yes - we need all people who are responsible, honest and ready to take the heat and stand up for God's Word. People who have no hidden agendas and are not just political puppets. I have hope for our country - God is with us.

I would add Elizabeth Dole to the list.

I have not heard that name before. Perhaps he would have been more effective if he had been railing against them with someone present who may have been influenced by his arguments.

It does not much matter how many people there are if they refuse to listen and refuse to actually address the needs and wishes of the majority of the country instead of special interest lobbyists and their political cronies. We can see by their response to the Tiller killing exactly what is most important to them. Personal political agendas.

I don't know, Cobalt - if you are presenting credible information and persuasively articulate arguments for your cause - it would be best to address people who can make a difference rather than simply screaming at an empty gallery to be aired in the middle of the night to people with insomnia..

I wonder if anyone in DC has a non-personal/political agenda...? It is very discouraging sometimes.

About time these people found some courage and stoood up to the Left and this Administration.

Unfortunately the Left's answer is that we haven't spent enough.

Anyone remember B-1 Bob Dornan? What a charecter, he would stay up all night and do floor motions on C-Span. There would be no one else in the whole Congress and he would rail, and rail all night long against the Left.

Whats your answer...have you tried writing any senator with your ideas?

My answer is responsible Leadership. If you have read any of my posts here of late you will see many answers. The problem is that the Politicians aren't listening and those who understand what needs to be done haven't yet found their fortitude. I believe the Tea Parties were a good start in beginning to take back our Nation.

I also pray daily that Barack Obama's policies fail and that America humbles herself and begins to pray so that God will hear our voice and heal our land. It starts with the Church because Judgement must and needs be begineth with the House of God. I pray for Righteous Leadership.

By the way, what are your answers? More of the same just ain't cutting it.

Job loss is a lagging indicator, you guys. Even though it looks like this thing might have bottomed out, we'll still feel job hits for at least a little while still. It really doesn't have anything to do with anything Obama has done thus far in office.

That is not the point. Obama claimed that if we went along with the stimulous bill and the bail outs, it would curb unemployment. We spent all that money we don't have and the unemployment rate continues to rise.

Because unemployment rate is a lagging indicator and will always be about six months behind the market no matter what you do. The stimulus plan was designed to a) tide us over to weather the storm and b) increase aggregate demand, thus strengthening the markets (by the way, the dollar is strengthening right now). Unemployment rates will lower as businesses catch up with the market (if it works, which for the intents of this explanation, I'm assuming it will). So it is very much the point that you can't use unemployment rates as a barometer - *yet*. It's just econ 101.

Another thing any economist would know is if you print money at too great of a rate, it will lead to inflation. I have already seen prices of goods increasing, and the buying power of the dollar is going to continue to drop. I also expect to see unemployment continue to increase into next year. You just said it lags for 6 months. That means that we should see the unemployment rate start dropping by the end of August or Obama's stimulous plan is a failure. I am willing to bet things will keep getting worse.
