Unemplyment Rate 10% Obama says, “Best jobs report since 2007”
Friday, December 4th, 2009
Barack Obama in Allentown, PA claims that 10% Unemployment is the best jobs report since 2007 and that his Administration has created or saved 1.6 million jobs.
Huh?
The U.S. unemployment rate for persons 16 years of age and older was 4.8% in the 4th quarter up from 4.4% a year earlier, it remained below the 10 year averages for the 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s Source: U.S. Dept. of Labor
What is a “Saved Job” Mr. Obama?
Today’s small drop in the unemployment rate might be good news if it wasn’t for the 11,000 jobs lost—we’ve gone more than two years without creating any new jobs.
Why is the U.S. unemployment rate down 0.2% this month, because fewer people are now looking for work—the U.S. Labor force is at its lowest level since 1986

Are the “Ethical Guidelines” for Embryonic Stem Cell Research Moral?
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009
In March, President Obama, reversed an Executive Order ending an 8 year ban on research of Embryonic Stem Cell Research, which now permits federal funding for research, giving the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 3 months to develop “Ethical Guidelines” for research.
A microscopic view shows a colony of human embryonic stem cells (light blue) growing on fibroblasts (dark blue) in this photo released to Reuters News Agency by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
Yesterday the federal government announced Ethical Guidelines approving 13 batches of human embryonic stem cells, enabling Researchers to obtain millions of dollars of tax dollars for research.
Using embryonic stem cells is controversial because in order to cultivate the lines, Scientists must harvest stem cells from human embryos, because the embryos are destroyed in the process the Catholic Church as well as other anti-abortion activists have opposed their use. Developing and Incubating a Stem Cell Line in order to harvest embryonic stem cells, Researchers use micro eyedroppers to remove single cells from early stage embryos each of which consists of only 8 to 10 cells. NIH notes that the process of of developing these lines is delicate and inefficient.
Are the “Ethical Guidelines” established pursuant to Barack Obama’s Executive Order even ethical?
The Catholic Church says No. The church teaches that human life begins at conception and there are alternatives other than using embryonic stem cells that actually have a better potential. The best sources are from our own organs according to the Coalition of Americans for Research Ethics Dr. David Prentice points out and another excellent source is umbilical cord blood which has restored the immune systems in children, whose cancer has previously destroyed their abilities to fight off infections and disease.
The Family Research Council has announced the beginning of their campaign to spread awareness about how successful adult stem cells are in treating a variety of diseases. The most recent count places the number of conditions successfully treated at close to eighty.

Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a poor review saying, “Roland Emmerich’s 2012 provides plenty of visual thrills but lacks a strong enough script to support its massive scope and inflated length.”
