As if resistance from dems and republicans alike to the President's plans for socialized medicine and draconian energy regulation--to say nothing of plummeting approval numbers--were not significant harbingers of bad news (for Obama), the White House is now delaying release of the budget update.
I do not envy the situation in which the President finds himself. It is just objective reality that he inherited a disastrous economy, blame for which last seeing lying at the feet of both political parties. However, with the truth about this economy staring him in the face every day since he took office, President Obama is still pressing forward full steam ahead toward socialized medicine.
Yesterday the Nation's governors, parties irrespective, added their voices to the growing chorus of condemnation for the "government option" health care plan that is currently being kicked around both chambers of Congress. Is the President listening? In the end he may be forced to. But delaying the release of the budget update until Congress has recessed, by which time Obama hopes to have his health care bill, appears a craven political maneuver.
I hope between now and the new scheduled release date of the report, Americans will have sufficiently made their voices heard to ensure that "Obamacare" is something we wipe our brows and nervously laugh about a few years from now.

The Republicans need to demand to see the economic numbers before anything is put to a vote.
To do anything otherwise would be highly irresponsible.
No mention of India backing away from the global warming shell game either.
I'm praying this is the beginning of the end of the current administration's agenda.
How about lower taxes to increase investment and job creation. It's the only thing they haven't tried.
