It's A New One That Fits Him Well
by Michael D. Hume, M.S.
I've been hearing a lot of talk lately about President Obama's religion (if any). A recent poll discovered that a high and rising number of Americans believe Mr. Obama is a Muslim.

A reader's question: 'You have not talked about healthcare much lately. Is it fading as an issue?
No, as shown last Tuesday by the 71 percent of Missouri voters who approved prohibiting the federal government from requiring people to buy health insurance. Ask what the Missouri vote meant, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, 'nothing.'
Gibbs may be correct that the federal government can preempt state law on health insurance. But in glibly ...
