The protests against the theocratic dictatorship continue in Iran, and the Iranian police are using force to stop the protests. Over the weekend video emerged of a young woman being killed in the streets for protesting, and her name, Neda, has become a rallying cry for lovers of freedom around the world. President Obama finally issued a statement about the protests, but he was just calling for the government to stop using violence to stop the protests. Republicans are pressing Obama to take a tougher stance. How about standing up for freedom, Barack?
Obama also has to deal with North Korea threatening to harm the United States if they are attacked.
The number of people on welfare has been increasing in the recession. It will be a lot harder to make cuts to these programs when more people are on them.
The class warfare folks have their panties in a wad over the fact that Goldman Sachs has recovered well and will be paying out record bonuses.
The Supreme Court issued a ruling on the Voting Rights Act that unfortunately leaves Georgia and other states at the mercy of the Justice Department every time we want to change election law.
In another preview of socialized medicine, a VA hospital in Philadelphia had 92 errors in prostate cancer surgeries, and the VA knowingly allowed it to be covered up. Fortunately, right now even Democrats say that their health care plan does not have enough votes to pass. That won't stop the New York Times and CBS News from stocking a poll with Obama voters to push the socialist medicine agenda. Drug companies are also helping the administration and probably encouraging their own demise.
President Obama's approval ratings are dropping, and now his approval index is actually negative. Also, 39% of voters now blame his policies for the bad economy.
Cap-and-trade appears to be dead for now, after negotiations between Democrats "blew up" late last week.
The next porked-up bill for Congress to consider is a $500 billion transportation bill.

Senator Barbara Boxer is not apologizing for chastising a Brigadier General for calling her "ma'am."
The National Institutes of Health is going to spend $423,500 of your money to study why men don't like to use condoms.
John McCain said yesterday on "Face the Nation" that Obama has "done well." That's exactly the problem.
Even Newsweek (whose Editor recently called Obama "sort of God") points out that Obama has failed to be open and transparent the way he promised he would be.
Michael Barone has the Three Rules of Obama: dodge facts, skip details, and govern Chicago-style.
Kodak is going to discontinue Kodachrome. I will continue to use the Paul Simon song as my opening music.
The AJC had an investigative piece looking into whether private lawyers who donate to Attorney General Thurbert Baker are being paid to handle state business. Under the logic of John Oxendine, Thurbert Baker must be the frontrunner for the Democrat nomination.
There is more talk of the possibility of a special session of the General Assembly.
Eric Johnson is staying under the radar so far in the race for Governor. I don't think this is a bad idea. Meanwhile, Roy Barnes says that he wants to see "non-crazy leadership." He's really trying to appeal to the moonbats in this state.
