BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley told a church crowd just moments into his new administration that those who have not accepted Jesus as their savior are not his brothers and sisters, shocking some critics who questioned Tuesday whether he can be fair to non-Christians.
"Anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I'm telling you, you're not my brother and you're not my sister, and I want to be your brother," Bentley said Monday, his inauguration day, according to The Birmingham News

Obama proves he’s a loser by trying to be a winner. Perhaps, instead of continuing to transfer wealth to the wealthy, Obama could focus review on how to achieve a more equal distribution of wealth based on benefits derived
from the Nation’s natural resources and the productivity not only of capital but of labor.

Obama announces review of government regulations
WASHINGTON (Reuters)
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal, Obama said some government regulations have placed "unreasonable burdens on business -- burdens that have stifled innovation and have had a chilling effect on growth and jobs."
He said he would require that in the future government agencies "ensure that regulations protect our safety, health and environment while promoting economic growth."\

FACT CHECK: Shaky health care job loss estimate

Ricardo Alonso-zaldivar, Associated Press –
WASHINGTON

A recent report by House GOP leaders says "independent analyses have determined that the health care law will cause significant job losses for the U.S. economy."
It cites the 650,000 lost jobs as Exhibit A

What CBO actually said is that the impact of the health care law on supply and demand for labor would be small. Most of it would come from people who no longer have to work, or can downshift to less demanding employment, because insurance will be available outside the job.
"The legislation, on net, will reduce the amount of labor used in the economy by a small amount _roughly half a percent_ primarily by reducing the amount of labor that workers choose to supply," budget office number crunchers said in a report from last year.
