There has been movement in Washington, but a deal has yet to be reached. Yesterday Obama met with a handful of House Republicans in a discussion that has been described by some as "constructive," "useful" and "productive." A new NBC poll finds that a majority of Americans believe Obama is putting his own political agenda ahead of what's good for the country. I would agree. Obama doesn't seem to be standing on principle so much as seems to be for hurting Republicans politically and imposing his terrible healthcare on a nation that doesn't want it... more Obama Misleads Throughout this debate over the debt ceiling, Barack Obama loves to throw out the following line: We've cut the deficit in half. On the surface, this seems like something to brag about for those of us who support limited government and recognize that our spending is out of control.

It's like a chain smoker bragging that they've cut their daily amount of cigarettes: If you were smoking two packs a day, now you are only smoking one pack a day ... but you are still smoking one pack a day!

| Mechanical Bull Cancelled You may recall the public outcry when it was announced that during the partial government shutdown, purchasing a mechanical bull for the Utah National Guard somehow made the cut of essential expenditures. The purchase was set to cost the taxpayers over $47,000. You'll be happy to hear that this contract has since been canceled. Now while the official line from government bureaucrats is that the purchase was a contracting "glitch," we can't help but wonder if public pressure made the difference. But as we well know, examples like this are all too common. For example, just days before the shutdown, the Air Force signed a contract to spend over $84,000 on eco-friendly Exit signs. These LED Exit signs will replace existing lighting at the Bowling Center, Recreation Center and other buildings on the Joint Base Charleston-Weapons Station in Goose Creek, South Carolina. Making public these outrageous expenditures may slowly be making a difference in holding bureaucratic feet to t he fire when it comes to spending with your tax dollars.
