			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>I&#8217;ll be looking forward to readin this book.  The title of the book itself sounds like smack at Obama: <em><strong>No Apology: The Case for American Greatness. </strong></em>And of course we know who has been apologizing for America lately.</p>
<p>By Dan Weill at Newsmax</p>
<blockquote><p>Likely 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney is publishing a book.</p>
<p>The Republican former governor of Massachusetts has signed a deal with St. Martin’s Press to put the book out next March, The New York Times reports.</p>
<p>The work will be titled “No Apology: The Case for American Greatness” and is currently set for 304 pages.</p>
<p>It will read like a campaign platform, including Romney’s take on the economy, military and families, jobs, education, health care, energy and citizenship, The Times reports.</p>
<p>St. Martin’s hasn’t revealed how much Romney will be paid.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>As we draw nearer and nearer to the 2010 Republican primaries, it is shaping up to be a &#8216;<a href="http://blogs.cbn.com/thebrodyfile/archive/2009/07/08/obama-vs-romney.aspx">Romney Vs. Obama</a>&#8216; match up.  There are already 2 unquestionable issues that Romney will be able to hit Obama on, that no other candidate can.</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Health Care</strong></span></li>
<li><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The bailout of Ford, GM, and Chrysler</span></strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Romney called upon Obama to NOT give the &#8216;big three&#8217; a bailout and urged in an article he penned in The New York Times titled <strong><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/19/opinion/19romney.html">Let Detroit Go Bankrupt</a></strong>,  that Detroit needed to restructure and file for a chapter 11 bankruptcy rather than receive a bailout from the American taxpayer.  Obama decided to bail out the &#8216;Big Three&#8217; toward the end of 2008 and has since acknowledged that there is a need to restructure.  Now the Government owns 70% if GM!  AND&#8230;BILLIONS of taxpayer&#8217;s dollars have been waisted.</p>
<p>Romney has already put in place a universal health care plan that does not give more power to the government and is not a &#8220;government takeover of health care.  In fact, after Obamacare got such bad feedback from both Republicans and Conservative leaning Democrats in Congress, Obama decided to take a few ideas from Romney&#8217;s Massachusetts health care plan.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at Eric Fehrnstrom&#8217;s points he made on the health care plan in a recent Boston Herals article title <strong><a href="http://www.bostonherald.com/news/opinion/op_ed/view.bg?articleid=1180375">Single-Payer Simplistic</a></strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #000000;">Liberals attack it because it’s not single-payer, and some conservatives object to the individual mandate, but 69 percent of the public expressed its approval in a recent survey. It passed with support of the business community, hospitals, private insurers, Republicans and Democrats. In the 200-member Legislature, there were two dissenting votes, a bipartisan miracle.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The market-driven Massachusetts approach is simple: Strip away regulations to lower the cost of private policies, require everyone to have coverage just as they must for their autos, and convert the money we already spend on free care into subsidies to help the needy buy insurance.</span><br />
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-4706507631764317";
/* 468x60, created 8/27/09 */

<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Is it perfect? No, like any bold experiment, it’s going to require fine-tuning. But already some of its best features are being copied by President Barack Obama, such as a health insurance exchange where individuals and small businesses can shop for affordable plans.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Critics who complain about the cost of the subsidies overlook the progress in reducing state payments for free care, a nearly 40 percent drop from $661 million in 2007 to $410 million in 2008. Having achieved near-total coverage, there’s no reason Gov. Deval Patrick can’t further reduce that number. He can drive costs down even more by making adjustments in benefits and by requiring everyone to contribute something to the cost of their insurance.</span></p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>Mitt Romney has some advice for President Obama: Don&#8217;t get into the insurance business.</p>
<p>The former Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor offered his insight on the president&#8217;s health care reform plan in an exclusive interview with <em><strong>The Early Show</strong></em> Wednesday.</p>
<p>As governor, Romney helped the state achieve a form of near-universal health care, though he emphasized that <span style="color: #990000;">his plan did not involve the government becoming the source of insurance for state residents.</span> &#8220;That&#8217;s a mistake,&#8221; Romney said, alluding to Mr. Obama&#8217;s plan, who is trying to extend health benefits for more than 50 million uninsured Americans.</p>
<p>A recent CBS/New York Times poll reports <a onclick="return linkTo(this);" href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/06/19/opinion/polls/main5098517.shtml">50 percent think the government would be better than insurance companies at providing medical coverage</a>.</p>
<p>Romney, vehemently disagreed. &#8220;<span style="font-weight: bold;">It&#8217;s the wrong way to go</span>,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The former GOP presidential hopeful also applauded Mr. Obama&#8217;s latest comments on Iran in which he said he was appalled at the regime&#8217;s treatment of protesters. Romney said he was glad he finally did &#8220;rise to the occasion.&#8221;</p>
