Time Wonders How Obama Lost His Mojo

Some of us might answer that question with “the media was finally forced to cover him properly,” but let’s not get too picky about that now. At least the media has begun to notice that Hope and Change has worn threadbare in a very short period. Time calls Barack Obama “Mr. Unpopular” in its headline today, and reports on the steep decline in support for Obama over the course of his nineteen-month administration. They describe his “overreach” on policy, but Michael Sherer starts off closer to the truth in the beginning of his analysis:

A sense of disappointment, bordering on betrayal, has been growing across the country, especially in moderate states like Indiana, where people now openly say they didn’t quite understand the President they voted for in 2008. The fear most often expressed is that Obama is taking the country somewhere they don’t want to go. “We bought what he said. He offered a lot of hope,” says Fred Ferlic, an Obama voter and orthopedic surgeon in South Bend who has since soured on his choice.

The Socialist State Of Education Is Shrinking

The Virtual School, grades K-12, is catching on and is offering parents a option in the education of their children. Oregon has an excellent program in place and several states are also involved with the idea.

Children have lesson plans and lectures that are presented on the computer. Their actual school day can usually be completed in less time, excluding homework and the children can still engage in sports and social clubs after school. Thus they achieve the social interaction at school, but their school work is completed on a laptop at any location. (FloppingAces.net)

Burlingame: Mosque Trigger ‘Raw Anguish’ for 9/11 Families

Debra Burlingame knows full well the horrible tragedy of the 9/11 terrorist attacks — her brother Charles was the pilot of the hijacked plane that crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11.

Now she’s a leader in the fight to stop the construction of a mosque two blocks from ground zero in Manhattan.

Burlingame tells Newsmax that 9/11 families are feeling “raw anguish” over the mosque plans, and accuses President Obama of “grandstanding” with his comments about the mosque controversy.
