Hoover Institution  "All too many of my recent columns have lamented the threat that public unions pose to the long-term political and financial stability of state government.

Now it turns out they are unsustainable in the short run as well. Tomorrow has become today as the ever-rising sea of red ink from union pensions and benefits overwhelms state budgets."

Oh, as long as we're on the subject: Obama: Lets Unionize the TSA   "Our senate has been far too preoccupied with its abominable health crimes legislation to bother itself with national security; an issue liberals never take seriously.
"Eight months into his administration, Obama at last got around to nominating police detective Erroll Southers for the top position at TSA with the full support of the intractably incompetent Janet Napolitano."

Can we ever repair the damage Obama is doing to this nation? The day he leaves office I wonder if we will gaze out upon America and have in some small way the same feeling Londoners had after Hitler surrendered, peace reigned and they gazed out over their bombed-out city.
