Week In Review

The newest feature here at God, Family, America is a week in review. This will be an area to discuss opinions about the week. I will post what I see at the top five stories of the week. So, here we go.

The winners of the week of July 19-24 are:

• 5. CBO begins downfall of Universal Health care - With the CBO coming out and announcing how much spending was involved in the health care bill we saw support drasticlly begin to decrease. As the numbers spread, both Blue Dog Democrats and American citizens really started to understand just what was involved in these bills. This will go down a the beginning of the end for any current form of health care reform.
• 4. 40th Anniversary of Moon Landing - For one day, the anniversary of the Appollo 11 landing and then the walk on the moon dominated the news. This story has brought up many discussions of the future of space exploration. When will we go back to the moon? Will man walk on Mars? No matter your view of our space program, the discussion that arises is interesting and provides good discussion.
  
• 3. Blue Dogs Halt Health Care - While Obama tries to claim it is the Republicans that have caused a delay in health care legislation, the real story is that the Blue Dog Democrats have been the biggest force behind the stalling of the bill. While Republicans have been forcefull at bringing out many of the details of the bill, we all know that if the Blue Dogs gave support to the bill, it would easily pass.
  
• 2. Obama says cops act "stupidly" - This story was created by Obama himself. Without knowledge of the situation, Obama decided to defend his friend and attack cops serving their society. Even the Obama friendly media has come out saying that he made a huge mistake with this comment. Will this comment hurt Obama much in the long run, probably not but it does clearly show his stance on racial issues for those who doubted.
• 1. Obama Approval Ratings Drop - The number 1 story of the week is the approval ratings of Obama have dropped to below 50% for the first time in his Presidency. Because of Obama's inability to sell the public on his health care plan, we have witnessed Obama's approval ratings drop in every poll. Americans are beginning to understand what they signed up for when they put Obama into office. They are seeing his socialist policies and the majority of Americans still believe in smaller government.
  

"One Small Step"

Here is an interesting look at our countries journey to the moon.

An Awe Inspiring Day

When I think of 40 years ago, I stand in awe. While I was yet to be born the impacts of that day are still felt today. The Lords creation stretches way beyond this planet and for humans to have the opportunity to explore just a fraction more of His great creation is amazing. As I sit here on the 40th anniversary of mans walking on the moon, I can only imagine what a future day may bring. Will be see man walk on the moon again? How about Mars? These are both realistic expectations in our life time. What would we find? Maybe not much, but one thing is for sure man would have the opportunity to explore another piece of Gods great creation. Take a second today and reflect on Gods creation and the ability he has given man to create a vehicle and travel out of this world. To me, it's awe inspiring.
