Missouri voters on Tuesday easily approved a measure aimed at nullifying the new federal health care law, becoming the first state in the nation where ordinary people made known their dismay over the issue at the ballot box. The measure was intended to invalidate a crucial element of President Obama’s health care law — namely, that [...] PORTLAND, Me. — President Obama continued on Thursday what might be called his Go-for-It Tour, traveling to this Northeastern state — represented by two moderate Republican senators who balked at his health care overhaul — to dare the opposition party to run against it this fall. Mr. Obama ridiculed Republicans for apocalyptic predictions about the health [...] What he sez! If you want to read one reasonable length, cogent analysis of the lie that is the healthcare act, this is a good one. [Link provided by Herr Doktor von Rundfunk who, as often noted, actually reads this stuff.] The Democratic National Committee will be spending more than $1M on ads seeking to convince the American public that the bitter pill they were force-fed last Sunday night is actually good for them. Expect this to be the tip of the iceberg in a desperate attempt to salvage the November elections. As of today a number [...] Former governor Mitt Romney has said it succinctly: “America has just witnessed an unconscionable abuse of power. President Obama has betrayed his oath to the nation — rather than bringing us together, ushering in a new kind of politics, and rising above raw partisanship, he has succumbed to the lowest denominator of incumbent power: justifying the means [...] The vote on healthcare “reform” (actual a government take-over of 17% of the American economy) is scheduled to take place today.

In the five weeks since then, President Obama has made 38 speeches, statements or other public remarks and never once mentioned the operation. In fact, amid roughly 100,000 words uttered in these mostly [...] For a microcosm of what is happening across the country on the healthcare reform bill, read this editorial column in the Star-Ledger. Congressman John Adler (D) managed to get elected by hanging on to Obama’s coattails in 2008. Now those coattails have turned toxic. Obama and Pelosi are asking Adler and those like him in other [...] House and Senate Democratic leaders struggled Thursday to stitch together pieces of a final health care bill as rank-and-file Democrats demanded more information about the contents of the bill and its cost. Leaving a meeting of the House Democratic Caucus, lawmakers said they had received few details about what would be in the legislation, on which [...] OK, the Healthcare “Summit” has come and gone, with about as much effect as the tsunami upon Hawaii. That sort of scripted charade is typical of Washington.
