Will Bankruptcy Courts Derail Obama Plan for Chrysler’s Survival?

April 30, 2009 by GregC

On Thursday, President Obama announced Chrysler would be merging with Fiat and going through a 60-day Chapter 11 bankruptcy process.  Will the bankruptcy court rubber stamp Obama’s plan or exercise some independence?  Why do some see this as a sweetheart deal for labor unions?  What is the real story behind Obama’s slamming of bondholders and hedge fund managers who are not going along with his plan?  And why is the merger with Fiat more disturbing than it is reassuring?  We ask John Berlau, director of the Center for Investors and Entrepreneurs at the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

Gizzi on Politics

April 30, 2009 by GregC

What grade should President Obama get for his first 100 days in office?  What grade should the media get for their conduct since Obama came to the White House?  Will Sen. Arlen Specter look back at his party switch as the move that saved his political career, or is this a crass political move that his constituents will reject?  Is the government handling the swine flu threat well or turning a minor outbreak into full-blown hysteria?  And how close are Taliban extremists to toppling the Pakistani government?  We ask John Gizzi, political editor at Human Events.

Arizona Rep. John Shadegg Explains Why Obama Health Care Plan Means Rationing; Government to Decide When and If People Get Drugs and Treatment

April 30, 2009 by GregC

One of the next major items on President Obama’s agenda is to pass health care reform legislation.  But while it sounds good to some that the government will intervene and make health care more affordable, what will be the real outcome?  Why will rationing have to take place if health care costs are really to be reduced?  What patients will simply be told their medicine or surgery won’t happen because it’s not ‘cost effective’?  How is this already happening in countries with government-run care?  Why will you still get sucked into the government system even if you stay with private insurance?  Why are Democrats not even planning to hold debate on this major legislation?  What is the Republican alternative?  We ask Arizona Rep. John Shadegg, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

U.S. Churchgoers Give More than U.S. Government to Developing Nations

April 30, 2009 by GregC

The U.S. is by far the most generous nation on earth – especially towards developing nations.  But who is leading the way?  It’s not foreign aid from the U.S. government, but increasingly generous contributions from religious congregations around the U.S.  So how much are churchgoing Americans giving to developing nations?  What exactly is that money going towards?  How is it being delivered?  And how does the U.S. stack up in comparison with other industrialized nations?  We ask Carol Adelman, director of the Hudson Institute’s Center for Global Prosperity.  The center just published its latest ‘Index of Global Philanthropy’.

Hate Crimes Bill Could Muzzle Free Speech Critical of Homosexuality

April 29, 2009 by GregC

Legislation has been introduced on Capitol Hill to install hate crimes protection against homosexuals.  But while touted as equal rights legislation, why is this really an assault on religious freedom?  What penalties could preachers face for teaching what the Bible says about homosexuality?  What penalties to people already face for sharing their faith with gay people?  And what do black Americans think about the gay movement calling their efforts a push for civil rights?  We ask Bishop Harry Jackson, Jr., founder of the High Impact Leadership Coalition.

April 29, 2009 by GregC

The much overrated ‘First 100 Days in Office’ has arrived for President Obama.  So how effective has he been in terms of getting things done?  What major problems could be just around the corner for him?  How long will Americans cut him some slack? And why can’t the media stop talking about him?  We ask Larry Sabato, professor of political science at the University of Virginia.  His latest book is “The Year of Obama”.
