http://www.onenewsnow.com/Politics/Default.aspx?id=1160316A pro-family leader says despite President Obama's low approval ratings, he shows no sign of detouring from his message promoting big-government solutions.
At a rally in Milwaukee on Monday, Obama said rebuilding 150,000 miles of road, working on 4,000 miles of rail track, and restoring 150 miles of runways would create new jobs for Americans.
"We want to change the way Washington spends your tax dollars," said the president. "We want to reform the way we fund and maintain our infrastructure to focus less on wasteful earmarks and outdated formulas, and we want competition and innovation that gives us the best bang for the buck."
Ken BlackwellAccording to Rasmussen Reports, President Obama's "approval index" has dropped consistently since he took office, sitting at -18 (26% strongly approve vs. 44% strongly disapprove, as of Sept. 8, 2010). Kenneth Blackwell of the Family Research Council says as the president's approval rating continues to decline, Obama takes a more aggressive approach to silence his critics.
"The president is at his best when he is campaigning. When it comes to governing, he leaves a lot to be desired," Blackwell states matter-of-factly. "But he is rapidly and determinedly trying to change our culture from one where earning money does not entitle you to it, but wanting money does -- and that's the moral basis of a redistributionist economy."
Blackwell, an expert on family economics, contends Obama is undeterred is his push for big government. "The president wants to transform our market economy into a government-controlled economy," he argues, "and he's determined to transform our family-centered society into a government-centered society."
President Obama's proposal calls for a $50-billion program he says will jump-start job creation and rebuild a deteriorating U.S. infrastructure.
