		<description>Just a reminder of what Obama thinks qualifies as &quot;irresponsible&quot;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;(January 13, 2009)

&quot;I felt that it would be irresponsible for me, with the first $350 billion already spent, to enter into the administration without any potential ammunition should there be some sort of emergency or weakening of the financial system.&quot;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Got that?  Even though he said, &quot;&lt;strong&gt;it would be irresponsible for me&lt;/strong&gt;...&quot; he was not talking about himself.  He was talking about President Bush.

When he said, &quot;it would be irresponsible for me ... to enter into the administration without any potential ammunition&quot; he was &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;really&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; saying &quot;it would be irresponsible for &lt;strong&gt;President Bush&lt;/strong&gt; to &lt;strong&gt;leave&lt;/strong&gt; the administration without giving Obama the other $350 Billion!

So Obama gets to have his cake and eat it, too.  Obama got the $350 Billion from Bush, and then turns around and blames Bush for the increase to our debt under Bush&#039;s tenure!

Bush should not have released the other $350 Billion.  He should have let Obama ask for it.  Heck, Obama&#039;s ready to ask for $2 Trillion in TARP 2.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I support the doctrine of separation of church and state as traditionally interpreted to prohibit the establishment of an official national religion. But I am opposed to the doctrine of separation of church and state as currently interpreted to divorce government from any formal recognition of God. The current trend strikes a potentially fatal blow at the concept of the divine origin of our rights, and &lt;strong&gt;unlocks the door for an easy entry of future tyranny&lt;/strong&gt;. If Americans should ever come to believe that their rights and freedoms are instituted among men by politicians and bureaucrats, then they will no longer carry the proud inheritance of their forefathers, but will grovel before their masters seeking favors and dispensations - a throwback to the Feudal System of the Dark Ages. We must ever keep in mind the inspired words of Thomas Jefferson, as found in the Declaration of Independence:
&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Since God created man with certain unalienable rights, and man, in turn, created government to help secure and safeguard those rights, it follows that man is superior to the creature which he created. Man is superior to government and should remain master over it, not the other way around. Even the non-believer can appreciate the logic of this relationship.
