Stories Wallowing in Oblivion

   I could really write a lengthy blog on what bothers me about the Obama administration's meltdown in the Middle East, but I choose not to do so. At least not now. Instead, I will briefly mention some of the news stories that have vanished from the media lately.  These are stories which I do not think should be forgotten.

• John Corzine has managed to misplace over $1 billion of other people's money, saying he has no idea what happened to it.  This could turn out to be the biggest robbery in the history of the world.  And our government appears to be doing nothing about it.  I think we know why.
• The Fast and Furious debacle led to the death of one American law enforcement officer and hundreds of Mexicans.  No one in the administration seems to care.
• Related to that, Attorney General Holder has been held in contempt by the House of Representatives.  Even after that, he seems to be holding back reports which have been requested of him by more committees of Congress.
• Companies are now at the mercy of the HHS mandate concerning contraception and abortifacients.  This could be called a War on Christianity.  In the meantime, we have an administration which says some in our country are acting insensitively toward another religion, saying that is not what America stands for.
• The Department of Defense is purchasing Chevy Volts for their fleet of vehicles.  These not only cost $40,000 each, but it has been reported that each Volt produced has resulted in a loss of $49,000 for GM.  I'll also remind you that, thanks to our President, America owns a bunch of stock in GM, meaning that those losses are also losses to the taxpayers of America.
• The percent of military personnel requesting absentee ballots for the upcoming election has reported gone down by about 50%, even after Congress passed a law in 2009 which is supposed to expedite the distribution of these ballots to our service men and women.  Talk about voter suppression.

  I could go on.  Enough for now.
