The recent labor reports certainly have some encouraging news.  New jobs in January estimated at 243,000 and a decline in unemployment to 8.3 percent suggests that the economy might be headed in the right direction.  But, another key indicator that doesn’t get the attention of the jobs number or the unemployment rate shows that all is definitely not well.

The Obama Administration is reportedly working on a deal to release five Taliban terrorists held at Gitmo as an “incentive” to talk peace in Afghanistan.  Taliban leader Mullah Omar reportedly has “demanded” the Gitmo prisoners release as a pre-condition to any talks.  The prisoners are among the most dangerous captured since the 9/11/01 attacks.  As recently as last May, the White House announced that the 172 detainees still at Gitmo were too dangerous to move.

President Obama has been talking a lot about income equality and fairness lately.  In his State of the Union speech he called it “the defining issue of our time.”  Thanks to a little investigative work by the Congressional Budget Office, the President doesn’t have to look very far for a place to start.

Here’s a quick footnote to our commentary published yesterday about the bankruptcy announcement by Ener1, another of Obama’s failed green-energy “investments.” Ener1 manufactured lithium-ion batteries to be used in electric vehicles, EVs.  Today’s Wall Street Journal provides further reasons to question Obama’s judgment and his irresponsible stewardship of the taxpayer’s dollars.

I was seven when my Dad put me on the seat of an Oliver 77 tractor and sent me to the field to rake hay by myself.  My Dad said he was about the same age when his father first assigned him to a pair of horses and a mower to cut hay on his own.  My mom was just five when her dad took her to the barn to hand milk cows.  When Claudia and I had our own four children, they all helped out on our dairy farm at pretty young ages, too.
