The end of health care as Obama know it
With the win by now U.S. Senator-elect Scott Brown in the hottest political senate race in decades, the end of health care as we know it is near. U.S. Sen. Jim Webb, D-VA, put the Obama Administration and his Democrat colleagues on notice, saying:
"In many ways the campaign in Massachusetts became a referendum not only on health care reform but also on the openness and integrity of our government process. It is vital that we restore the respect of the American people in our system of government and in our leaders. To that end, I believe it would only be fair and prudent that we suspend further votes on health care legislation until Senator-elect Brown is seated."
The secretive Democratic leadership meetings are also put on notice, as well as Obama's Chicago-style bullying and buying of senators. Care to make a wager?

Up Pacquiao, down Tiger
Up Pacquiao, Down Tiger
Up Pacquiao
Voted 2009 Male Athlete of the Year (worldwide) was a little 5'6" 138lb boxing champ, Manny Pacquiao, a faithful husband, father of four, Christian and a hero to his (my native) country, the Philippines.
Down Tiger
Pacquiao's character is unlike the Athlete of the Decade, Tiger Woods, unfaithful husband, father, Buddhist American. As a Filipino-American and a former NCAA athlete scholar, I celebrate the best of the Philippines and continue to pray for my adopted, beloved country, America!
Resolve
In light of the above, this year: Resolve not to allow present temporal conditions reign over you. Do not allow current and changing atmospheric conditions cloud your eternal perspective. REE (Psalm 51:8-9.

Wise Words from President Theodore Roosevelt
Wise Words from President Theodore Roosevelt on personal life, national life and economic life
On this New Year, "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
President Theodore Roosevelt, a Dutch Reformed Christian, also provided a recipe for a health nation: "A healthy state can exist only when the men and women who make it up lead clean,vigorous, healthy lives; when the children are so trained that they shall endeavor, not to shirk difficulties, but to overcome them; not to seek ease, but to know how to wrest triumph from toil and risk."
His words against welfare, which by definition includes the current health care bill and the previous stimulus bills, was simple: Commanding the re-establishment of the
8th Commandment, Roosevelt bellowed: "Do not steal."

Obama and Xmas
Church not part of Obama's Christmas schedule: Merry Xmas from the Obamas
Time.com recently published "No Churchgoing Christmas for the First Family." President Barack Obama had time to play golf, basketball and involve himself in a myriad of activities but the Reason for the season was beyond his tight Christmas presidential schedule.
Unlike the Three Kings from the East who used camels to travel thousands of miles through the desert, Obama did not have time to pay homage to the King of Kings; he did have time to go to the tropical West--Hawaii--via Air Force One.
According to Time, in light of all the busyness and traditions undertaken by the Obamas, "there's one common Christmas practice not on the First Family's schedule: a visit to Christmas Eve church services."
A humble Jewish girl had the appropriate historical response: "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant" (Luke 1:46-47). Mary continued: "His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation, He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble."
As Mary did, our rulers should humbly fear him during Christmas and everyday so that our country may experience mercy not destruction, economic or otherwise.
On this precise point, another ruler, King David, once said, "Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son [Jesus], lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way" (Psalm 2:10-12).
