(BrightCitizen.com) Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin is re-elected after a push by unions and organized labor from out of state to pull him from power in a recall election.

Although Walker admitted he was probably to aggressive in working to get the state’s finances under control, this second election by majority validated the desire of citizens to have politicians make the tough financial decisions and buck special interest groups.

(BrightCitizen.com)  The Barak Obama’s Administration says it has cut federal spending during Barak’s time in office. “That is what makes it whopper of the year,” syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer says of a report that federal spending, under the Obama administration, has risen at the lowest pace in 60 years.

“This is an unbelievable distortion of the truth. If you compare it to what was spent in the Bush years, particularly if you take out the emergency spending that the two administrations agreed on in the end — the bailouts — then you have an 8% increase, which is historic. You had it in 2009 alone, increases in the agencies of 20% and 50% in some of the agencies. Historically high and Obama increased it year after year.” “So what he is talking about really is a false impression. There was no intention ever by any administration of repeating the bailouts that you have to have in September, October, and November of 2008 and then the beginning of 2009. And if you count it in it’s deliberately distorting the facts. And I’m not sure if there is anybody who believes it because it’s so obvious, If an administration starts with the largest stimulus spending bill in galactic history, it obviously is not cost-cutting administration,” he said.

The business lobby, which has opposed some of the Obama administration’s key domestic policies, including the 2010 healthcare restructuring law, historically stays away from the presidential race but hits hard on congressional elections as well as state attorneys general and elected judges races.

“Our strategy is to protect the pro-business majority in the House and advance our interests in the Senate,” said Rob Engstrom, the group’s national political director.

BrightCitizen.com applauds this action (although we find it unfortunate that politics involve such large sums of money).

Piers Morgans attempts at being a neutral interviewer have been revealed as nothing of the sort.  Here he clearly attacks the position of Kirk Cameron on Cameron’s position on homosexuality.  Cameron had been on his show earlier.

Morgan says he respects the opinions of others, however he publicly bashes Cameron with another guest on his show as “judgmental” and “hypocritical” if it is something he does not agree with.  Very childish and rude to have a guest and later criticize them.  Beware of Piers Morgan if you are expecting a neutral and accommodating member of the media.
