The aftermath of Obamacare

Elliot Ganchrow writes:

One of the theories put forth by the Democrats and their media allies prior to the decisive House vote on Obamacare was that once the bill was signed into law, Americans would reward the Democrats for this big accomplishment. This theory, so far, does not seem to hold much water. The latest polls taken after the Obamacare vote (other than those taken by the left leaning Daily Kos which always seem a bit skewed) show Obama and various 2010 Democratic incumbents/candidates continuing to lag in the polls. In fact the latest CBS News poll puts Obama at only 44% and Fox News has him at 43%. Democrats who are waiting for a big positive turnaround based on the Obamacare vote are most likely fooling themselves.

The new treaty needs examination

We would all welcome a world without war,and one without the threat of nuclear weapons.Unfortunately with countries like N. Korea and Iran the danger of aggressive attacks-EVEN WITHOUT WARNING IS REAL.
The agreement signed today between Russia and the US perhaps is a step in the right direction.To come to a full conclusion we will have to read the fine print,
However if as rumored it takes away our ability to have a defensive shield against Iranian missiles within Eastern European countries,then it is a bad deal.
The treaty requires 67 votes,and there should be bi-partisan hearings,based upon our security needs and not partisan politics.

We leave Sat nite for Israel with my Talmud shiur.This is our 5th trip as a group.I will try to deliver a report when we return.From Israel, my wife and I are going to China-Hong Kong.We were last there 23 years ago. We will be back May 5th.
My son Elli will try to write the blog-schedule permitting during my absence.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT

Sadly the Orthodox wing of American Jewry does not represent the majority points of view of American Jewry.We just came back from the Passover program at thew olg Granit Hotel where I spoke 4 times.The Obama support was probably in low single digits.
Today scanning the news we see why.A trial balloon regarding an imposed peace plan,engineered by every anti-Israel has-been in the foreign policy apparatus-ala Brezinski.
Then there is the trial balloon where Islamic Jihadists and Fundamentalists will not be so described-We don't know their new name-perhaps "unhappy warriors"with a bent for suicide and mayhem.
To top it off today,we are told,that even if we were attacked with bio-chemical weapons, we will never respond with nuclear weapons, if the attacker is a NON-NUCLEAR POWER.
A really great day for those who love Israel,and A STRONG AMERICA!
