As we prepare for tomorrow's State of the Union Speech, it is interesting to point out that during the campaign, President Obama took great lengths to express his opposition to an across the board spending freeze. He likened a freeze to using a hatchet while he wanted to take a scalpel to the federal budget.

The voters of Massachusetts sent a message yesterday that they want jobs and economic security instead of a takeover of our healthcare system. How then does this translate into “we will move forward” on healthcare?
Critical statistics for President Obama’s first year in office, and an eventful year it was.
In the survey, only 33 percent say President Obama’s health-reform effort is a good idea, versus 46 percent who consider it a bad idea.
