The US Treasury Dept. has issued a new Federal Reserve note to commemorate the historic nature of our 44th President. Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner said in comments on Wednesday that the new note incorporates all the latest anti-forgery technology and should be available to the public by the first of the year. IOL has received a sneak peek of the new note from an anonymous source inside the US Treasury.

Obama’s approval rating has dropped to a new all time low. Now only 39% approve of his job. A whopping 60% now disapprove of his job, up from 51% disapproval Sept. 20. Obama has even fallen into a statistical tie with none other than Sarah Palin. How embarrassing that is because other polls have shown a majority of Americans believe she is unqualified for the presidency. So it appears many have now decided, on second thought, Obama looks that way too.

Will this lame duck congress go crazy and punish the American people for their voting on November 2nd? I believe if it was simply up to Obama, Pelosi and Reid they would slam as many things through as possible before the new Congress is sworn in. Unfortunately for the Regime and fortunately for the American people the Democrats left in Washington especially those that were reelected by a slim margin realize that their necks just barely missed the dropping blade of the guillotine. These Democrats do want to be reelected in the next election cycle and most of them are not the ideologues that Obama, Pelosi and Reid are. However if they do succeed in moving some ultra left-wing legislation through during the lame duck session it only goes to prove to the American people what and who they really are. It just gives the Tea Party and the Conservative Republicans more to overturn once they are completely back in power. The Regime is bumping up against the will of a center-right America that they did not expect or understand. I still contend that the only reason that Obama himself was ever elected is because he is black and the American people wanted to show that they were not racist and could elect a black man to the Presidency. If Obama was a white politician, with his past associations and record, he would not have stood a chance in 2008.

Do the Democrats get what happened on November 2nd? The answer is a resounding, “No!” This is great though, we don’t want them to change anything. We want them to continue down the path that got them to November 2nd, 2010 because that same path will lead them to a repeat on November 2nd, 2012. Even though the disconnect from reality is incredulous, it is good for Conservatives. It appears that the Democrats will keep the entire leadership team intact. Pelosi will stay on as minority leader of the Democrats in the House and Harry Reid will stay on as the majority leader in the Senate. Obama himself said that it wasn’t his policies that were rejected but that he had just failed to “explain” the policies to the American people. This is another way of saying that the American people are just too stupid to understand the high-minded Obama policies and the Regime just failed to color code them and convert the definitions to baby talk well enough so that the simple-minded American people could understand them. The insult to our intelligence is enormous but just take it because that can only result in it bitting them in the backside again. All the lame-stream media is predicting that Obama will move to the center, Obama is a ideologue and his moving to the center is about as possible as a Biden not saying something stupid. Biden is an idiot, idiots say stupid things;Obama is a left-wing ideologue, and left-wing ideologues to left-wingy things. Clinton moved more to the center after ’94 but that was because he was an unprincipled finger licking wind checker. Obama isn’t unprincipled, I will give him that, it is just that his principles are so enormously dangerous that his policies need to be overturned and rejected. Obama and the Democrats will stay far left over the next two years and they will pay for it in the next election cycle.

In a recent AP-KN poll 47% of Democrats say Obama should be challenged in the 2012 Democratic Primary. This shows how disenchanted Democrats themselves are becoming with the anointed one. This is also why I believe that this November 2nd the Republicans and Tea Party are going to win bigger than the polls currently reflect. The reason for this is because the Conservative base is jazzed up against Obama and his ilk and the Liberal base is not jazzed up for them. In Bush’s 2nd term win in 2004 the Kerry/Edwards ticket thought they were going to win big with the youth vote. They thought the youth of America were all psyched up to vote for them. Instead the youth of America stayed home and played Play Station 2. Well this time is no different. What has Obama done for the minorities, the poor, women, and all the downtrodden lately? Well they haven’t seen the free cars, homes, and cell phones yet, have they? Where are the bags of money Obama had promised them? Didn’t Obama say that when he was elected the seas would stop rising, Global Warming would stop, the recession would halt, a new era of post-racism and bi-partisanship would began. Well the seas weren’t rising and Global Warming wasn’t happening in the first place, but I’m not sure I’m gonna give Obama credit for stopping something that never was happening. The recession hasn’t been halted, unemployment keeps rising. Obama Care was passed with no Republican votes and Stimulus was passed with no Republican House votes. Doesn’t sound like a new era of bi-partisanship to me. The point however is that the left is not exited about this Administration or their policies. No one is excited about Obama Care. No one is even running on the merits of Obama Care. Many Democrats are actually running on the platform that they appose Obama and Pelosi. Current polls are not going to reflect that the Left isn’t even going to show up to vote while the Right is climbing over each other to cast their vote. While Play Station 2 is not going to be the primary interest of the left on Election Day, Xbox 360 will be.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright wrote in a letter to Africa 6000 earlier this year “I am ‘radioactive,’ Sir. When Obama threw me under the bus, he threw me under the bus literally!” Maybe you are radioactive literally also, Reverend, did you ever think about that. Hey, I don’t even want to be around him. I don’t blame Obama for not wanting to hang around Jeremiah. I have heard that there might have been a CIA plot to not only plant AIDs in the Black community but also to make Jeremiah Wright glow in the dark. It’s so hard to see him in the dark, and I would definitely like to see him coming. It all just makes too much sense.

    Lately we have been hearing talk about whether we in fact are a “Judeo-Christian” nation. On may 4th, 2009 Congressman J. Randy Forbes (R-VA), introduced House Resolution (H.RES.397) in the House of Representatives to the 111th  Congress, stating; “ Affirming the rich spiritual and religious history of our Nation’s founding and subsequent history and expressing support for designation of the first week in May as ‘America’s Spiritual Heritage Week’ for the appreciation of and education on America’s history of religious faith. Whereas religious faith was not only important in official American life during the periods of discovery, exploration, colonization, and growth but has also been acknowledged and incorporated into all 3 branches of the Federal Government from their very beginning;”. This got me thinking; Are we or aren’t we a Christian nation?
    Recently, President Barack Obama claimed while in Turkey that “we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation, or a Jewish nation…,” Newsweek stated that this is “The End of Christian America,”. We are constantly hearing of what once were considered religious liberties now being taken away, such as “voluntary” religious activities at public schools, the Gideon’s have lawsuits against them brought on by the ACLU for passing out Bibles to school kids. And the list goes on and on…
    Worse than all of those things is the brazen push by special interest groups in this country to get the government to deem unnecessary or even outlaw some of the things that have made this country great.
    In 2002 a copy of the Ten Commandments was removed from a courthouse in Montgomery, Alabama after the Supreme Court “decided it violated the “Separation of Church and State”, And yet John Jay the first Supreme Court Justice said, “..No human society has ever been able to maintain both order and freedom; both cohesiveness and liberty apart from the moral precepts of the Christian Religion applied and accepted by all classes. Should our Republic ever forget these fundamental principles of governance, men are certain to shed their responsibilities for licentiousness and this great experiment will surely be doomed”.
    When the Washington Monument was completed in 1884 an aluminum capstone was placed on it with the names of the engineers, the Commission, and the words “ Laus Deo (Praise be to God)”, recently however the piece has been rearranged in such a way so as to hide the reference to God. Oddly enough when Washington took the oath of office as our first President, he revealed his reverence for the Bible by kissing it. And, he added to the oath at the end, “So help me God,” establishing a precedent which every subsequent President has, of course, followed.
    Officials at the Veterans Dept. recently put a stop to the “voluntary” flag folding service during military funerals, because they mentioned God. The wording on the “Flag Certificates” was changed to remove the word “God” , and went even further by saying that the text from the “Pledge of  Allegiance” would be censored from it as well because it contained the words “one nation under God”. And yet Alexander Hamilton in a letter to James Baynard in 1802 said “I now offer you the outline of the plan they have suggested. Let an association be formed to be denominated “The Christian Constitution Society” its object to be first: The support of Christian Religion. Second: The support of the United States.”
    The brand new “Capitol Visitors Center” in Washington (which could quite easily be termed a $621 million dollar shrine to politically correctness) has conveniently left the phrase “In God We Trust” out of its depictions of the “House Chamber and Speakers Rostrum”, also in its reference to “article 3 of the Northwest Ordinance” which states “Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged”, has decided to leave out any reference to religion and morality stating instead that “..schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged”. And yet one after another our Founding Fathers have stated that if we are to succeed as a nation it will be because of our trust and dependence on God and not in spite of it.
    Benjamin Franklin said “ he who introduces into public affairs principles of primitive Christianity, will change the face of the world”.
    John Jay our first Supreme Court Justice said “Providence has given unto our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers”.
    Charles Carroll one of the signers said this “without morals a public cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion whose morality is so sublime and pure…are undermining the solid foundation of morals, its best security for the duration of free governments”.
    So are we, or aren’t we? The debate will rage on as time passes but one thing is sure: our nation was and still is a Christian nation as far as this writer is concerned. It doesn’t matter what they do they can’t erase history. George Orwell has so correctly said “ He who controls the past, controls the future, and he who controls the present controls the past”, it is imperative that we never lose the awareness that we all have a responsibility to God and to this country to uphold the principles on which this nation was founded.
    Samuel Adams in a letter to James Warren in 1779 stated “A general dissolution of these principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America, than the whole forces of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but once they lose their virtue, they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external invader”. Our nation is as Godly as we are, and I for one am not ready to throw in the towel just yet. John Adams in talking about the Constitution said this, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the governance of any other”. And while the majority of the “people” seem to fall in the latter category, those of us that don’t have a God given responsibility to make sure that America never forgets its rich and Godly heritage, so I salute you Congressman  Forbes, keep up the good work I for one am behind you. GOD BLESS

In 1982, Tom Bradley a candidate for governor in the state of California lost by the narrowest of margins after having polled ahead of his opponent. In the 1983 mayoral race in Chicago, Harold Washington polled as high as 14 points a few days before the election, but won the election by only 4 points. In 1989, David Dinkins running for mayor of New York against Rudy Giuliani, polled about 14 points ahead of Rudy a few days before the election, but only prevailed by about 2 points on the day of the election. The thing all of these candidates had in common was they were black and they were running against white opponents. Since that 1982 race this has become known as the Bradley Effect. The Bradley Effect states that for sociological reasons white voters will often tell pollsters that they are for a black candidate, but in the privacy of the voting booth will vote for the white candidate. Now there could be several reasons for this phenomenon. However, I believe that the two primary ones are that either these white voters are actually racist and would never vote black, or they are simply afraid of opening themselves up to criticism even though they prefer the white candidate for policy and ideological reasons. I would call this reverse racism. I believe that the latter is more often true then the former for being the cause of the Bradley Effect. There are more white people today that are trying to overcorrect the past problems of racism then those that are actually racist. White racism against blacks is not dead, but it has by no means the strength that it had in the 50′s and 60′s. Now some studies have shown that since 1996 that the Bradley Effect seems to have faded, and it no longer has an effect on elections. I contend however that it will have an effect on the coming Presidential election and I will tell you why. The University of Washington professor Anthony Greenwald conducted a study that found that the Bradley Effect was at play in the 2008 Democratic primary race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Greenwald noticed that the margins between the polls and the actual results depended on the number of blacks living in a state. The polls taken in states with a small black population tended to overestimate his performance and states with large black populations actually underestimated his performance. This indicated that there may be a Reverse Bradley Effect in play. The Reverse Bradley Effect would mean that blacks would tell pollsters that they were not voting for the black candidate even though they would pull the lever for the black candidate in the voting booth. The reason for this would not be the same as for the white voters in the Bradley Effect, but the absolute antithesis. The cause of the Reverse Bradley Effect would be that black voters would not want pollsters to think that they are simply voting for a candidate because he or she is black, but because they agree with that particular candidates policies. They want to appear as informed voters to the pollster. Ok, now you’re going to say that won’t the Reverse Bradley Effect and the Bradley Effect simply eliminate each other and create a zero sum game. In the Democratic Primaries that may be true however black voters are a minority so the Reverse Bradley Effect won’t completely eliminate the Bradley Effect, but I don’t think that is going to be the reason that the Bradley Effect will be at play in the General Election. First of all the Reverse Bradley Effect will not apply to the General Election because blacks traditionally vote more than 90% for the Democratic candidate. They will have more social pressure of being called an Uncle Tom if they would say that they are going with the Republican candidate than the pressure of appearing uninformed because they are saying they will vote for the black candidate. The Reverse Bradley Effect did apply to the Democratic primary because all the choices were obviously Democrat. In the General Election however many white independents and moderates will poll that they are voting for Obama even when they agree more with McCain’s policies. When it comes down to actually voting they will vote for policies and ideological beliefs rather than social pressure. I don’t know yet how much this is going to effect the November 4^th election, but I am going to guess that the Bradley Effect is probably giving Obama anywhere from 5-8% in the polls. Heads up Conservatives!! It isn’t over till the fat lady sings.
