Losing Health
Remember the Obama health destruction legislation? Americans are still liking it less all the time. Here are the results of a new poll from CNN. The poll suggests that most Americans continue to oppose the passage of the health care bill which Obama signed into law in April, although the public may be slightly more […]

Blowing It
President Obama had a tragically distracted first year courtesy of his obsession with health reform during a period in which voters’ minds were on jobs and the economy. President Obama dared congressional Republicans today to campaign for repeal of the new health care law. Now, he needs desperately to turn his attention to jobs, but […]

Stupak Stopped
Politico reports that the pro-life block has found its compromise, agreeing to an Executive Order and ready to vote yes on Castro Care. BREAKING: House Democrats have picked up critical health reform “yes” votes from a group of anti-abortion lawmakers, including Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak, according to senior Democratic aides. Democrats believe a breakthrough with […]

Closing Weak
The normal rules of political physics would suggest a strong finish for the bad guys (with a vote scheduled for around 6pm), as they can call in those willing but reluctant to vote yes if needed. Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) said Sunday morning that he is close to striking a deal with the Obama administration […]

MassA ttack
First term Democrat Eric Massa, forced into resigning from Congress today on rumors of sexual harassment, is not going quietly. He’s being chased out of office, he says, so the White House can get health reform passed. “Mine is now the deciding vote on the health care bill, and this administration and this House leadership […]

Any Lie Will Do
Even if it wasn’t the intention of the president to deceive the American people, it would be silly not to assume the obvious. In back-to-back meetings in the Oval Office and Roosevelt Room, Obama urged uneasy rank-and-file moderates and progressives to focus on the positives rather than their deep disappointment with parts of the bill. […]

Reconciling Reconciliation
Nancy Pelosi says a new Obama health care plan will be ready soon. This is beginning to feel like the story will go on forever. President Obama will soon propose a health care bill that will be “much smaller” than the House bill but “big enough” to put the country on a “path” toward health […]

Wider Health Reform
Does it matter what’s in the Democrats’ health care proposals, or is it more important what their true intent is – what their endgame is? I say it’s the latter – they are well practiced in taking simple little “safety net” programs and growing them into monsters that put the nation on the verge of […]

Happy Anniversary
It’s already been a week since the Massachusetts victory. Not enough time for the Boston Globe to figure out the meaning of the election. One state’s vote, by a 52-47 majority, doesn’t erase a 29-state presidential victory and a 59-vote Senate margin. If Democrats use the Massachusetts election to abandon health reform, they won’t be […]

Limbaugh held a brief news conference Friday at the Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu after being admitted Wednesday night with chest pains. “They found absolutely nothing wrong,” he said. “No arterial […]

Get a Life
If he has a compelling argument for why taxes should be higher, Matthew Dallek leaves it out of his pro-tax column in the New York Daily News. Americans have not always hated taxes. The marginal tax rate was approximately 90% for the wealthiest Americans during World War II, but 85% to 90% of the public […]

Fall Guy
Joe Lieberman is being set up by Harry Reid, and a cooperative media, to look like he’s sabotaging health care in a shocking flip flop. Not true. Risking the wrath of Democrats, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., threatened Sunday to join Republicans in opposing health care legislation if it permits uninsured individuals as young to 55 […]

Spoiler Still?
Joe Lieberman’s firm opposition to a Public Option has been widely publicized, and everyone’s wondering if he’s buying in to the new Senate compromise. Signs from Joe indicate he’s not giving up yet on being a spoiler. “I am encouraged by the progress toward a consensus on proposals to send to the Congressional Budget Office […]

December 15
From Laura Ingraham’s website: It’s time we all stop pretending that what is happening with this Obamacare debate is about “helping the uninsured” or “fixing the healthcare system” or “giving the people what they want.” It’s about none of those things. Its about amassing as much power in a central government as humanly possible. Its […]

Racing Health Care
If Gallup’s new bad news trend for Obama continues, then even Health Reform could crumble. Barack Obama’s presidential job approval rating is 47% in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update, a new low for his administration to date. His approval rating has been below 50% for much of the time since mid-November, but briefly […]
