Obama not only messing America up, he's messing up the entire African continent.

It's funny that this administration generally has a "pull-out" or "pull-back" strategy when it comes to help nations fight dictatorships or regimes that are against human rights, but when it comes to promoting global gay rights, Mr. Obama wants America (or at least American money) to be right there front and center, controlling everything.  I at least I think that's odd.

But maybe not so, if one knows Obama's true agenda.  Anyway, read this fair and balanced account from that stalwart of magazines, The Atlantic, and judge for yourself.

Obama Team worried House & Senate Have Frozen P.A. Aid over bid for statehood.

Amazing. The U.S. including Mr. Obama say they will veto any vote to grant the P.A. full status at the U.N. Because of their bid for that status, U.S. lawmakers have blocked some $200 million in aid. Now Obama is worried for the Palestinians even though they have crossed him by going to the U.N. Go figure.

Everybody else has to play by Obama's tunes when they want aid, everyone except the Palestinians. If they want this, then they should consider the wishes of those who grant it. Otherwise, they seem to be indicating they can go it alone. So, let's let them if they insist.

Clearly, Israel and the P.A. are at another impasse on talks. But it appears Obama will give in to Palestinians on aid, even though they are intentionally trying to bait him and force him to use a veto at the U.N. His leadership strength is again showing troublesome signs to say the least.

The News Obama doesn't want, America worries about, and the World can't afford right now.

The headline of the linked article says it all --"more poor Americans than ever before".  The article gives you the 'facts'. The 'truth' however lies in the significance and meaning of the facts.  You'll need to read between the lines.

Ask yourself, what are the implications, if any, for:
1. 2012 election?
2. the American economy?
3. the future of America's foreign aid programs in light of their own needs?
4. any opportunities the anti-western cultures may seek to take advantage of?
5. churches and their efforts to address poverty locally vs. globally?
6. you, and how you will spend your next charity dollar?

Some things to think about when you're seeking the "truth" behind this story. And remember, all "Truth" flows from God and all "Truth" points to God. Now, here are the facts.  Read them and then  . . . Tell us what "Truth" you're seeing.

Even Tea Partiers Make Big Mistakes: Cut the Deficit Yes, But by Cutting Aid to Israel? Not so fast.

Here's where things get a little murky for the GOP and their relationship to the Tea Party.  There are good cuts and then there are cuts with far-reaching implications in the wake of the march of different sandals across the world.  Take a look and keep this in the back of your mind as you watch Congress in the next few weeks.
