    President Obama, during yet another promise to make job creation his number one priority in life. How many times does that make now? Six? Seven? Eight?  But he means it this time! “Not until everyone who wants a good job that offers a little security has one. Not until empty storefronts in town are open for business again.

    Not precisely the Quote of the Day, William Murchison edition.

    More like the From Your Fingers To God’s Eyes of the Day, William Murchison edition: Every Easter/Passover ABC returns the old DeMille semi-classic, “The Ten Commandments” for renewed viewing. We all could benefit by watching the Egyptians try to build a city by flogging the Hebrews half to death.
