GOP Uses Obama to Recruit House Candidates
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
As public support drops for President Obama's agenda and Republicans hype their claims that he's creating a socialist environment, the GOP is seeing more ideological House candidates jump in for the 2010 midterm elections. "These candidates have a simple message," says a GOP strategist helping to recruit House challengers. "It's 'Somebody has to stop this guy.' " Before the "angry candidates" began signing up to run, Republican officials say the dominant challengers were the "practical" ones who were playing the odds that a new president historically loses several House seats in the midterms.

Obama Losing His Glitter??
When President Obama took office, he probably had greater support for his personal success than any president since at least John Kennedy. He appeared new, refreshing and smart. That was then, this is now.
In the course of just under six months, this administration has gone from one of GREAT PROMISE, to one of astonishing disbelief!! Could Rev Wright be correct? Could Obama be just ‘another politician from Chicago’?
The 'sweetheart deal' with The Washington Post has not engendered trust and confidence in the White House. That was VERY DISAPPOINTING!
Obamanomics...Support Waning?
If Obamanomics are so great, why are so many other countries looking for an alternative to the US dollar as a standard?
