Big Fish is Watching! »

(We just had to bump up Pat’s spot-on “toon” from Thursday evening) Oh boy, here we go. The name-calling and fear-inducing tactics used by Obama’s campaign team against anyone at odds with its lock-step ideas are at it again. This time it’s much, much worse.

no drugs for you! unless you want an overdose…? »

I saw this little tid-bit on HotAir today: One patient in Oregon got a letter that made this all too clear, when in the same letter rejecting her request for life-extending chemotherapy, Oregon offered her “physician-aid-in-dying”. In other words, Oregon offered their customer a heapin’ helping of death: Yikes, *sorry, no drugs for you, but [...]

Cutting Health Care Costs: New Plan for Seniors »

(Bumped up from the morning of July 29) My recent toon, Are Grandma and Grandpa the Target? presented the full text of what will be in store for those over 65 years of age. You won’t hear much about this in the MSM, of course.

“You Expect Us To READ This??” »

That is, in essence, what Rep. John Conyers said as he mocked representatives on the floor insisting bills are actually read before they go up for a vote (H/T to NQ Reader tzada, for the alert). Don’t take my word for it, though. Here Representative Conyers is saying so: “What good is it?” What GOOD [...]

Obama Administration Rejects Transparency on Healthcare »

In today’s LA Times, Peter Nicholas reports White House declines to disclose visits by health industry executives, “citing an argument used by the Bush administration, the Secret Service rejects a request from a watchdog group to list those who have visited the White House to discuss the healthcare overhaul.” Reporting from Washington — Invoking an [...]

“‘barack obama is a big fat liar’, illustrated” times two – UPDATE »

I read two great posts from NRO, Barack Obama Is a Big Fat Liar by Jim Geraghty, and ‘Barack Obama is a Big Fat Liar,’ Illustrated, by Guy Benson. Geraghty writes: Ever since Barack Obama declared his candidacy for president, it’s been easy — and great fun — to spotlight when his promises and statements [...]

Finally Comeuppance For “Faux” Journalists? »

Well, everyone on the planet knows about Sarah Palin’s resignation by now. She has her reasons, of course, whether one agrees with them or not. I would say that if my children were continually being hammered in the press, with my Down’s Syndrome baby bearing the brunt of the cruel humor, I might be a [...]

Those Are Some Odds… »

No doubt, you know there are plans afoot by Obama and Congress to extend health care benefits to all. It raises that sticky question of just how these costs will be covered. And when I say costs, I mean at least one TRILLION dollars, though I have seen estimates that are higher. One proposal is [...]

The President’s Doctor of 22 Years Disses Obamacare »

Dr. David Scheiner, President Obama’s internist of 22 years, has a mixed practice of adults from local housing projects on up to some very famous patients. He issued the 276-word statement last year vouching for Obama’s “excellent health.” While he still supports the President, David Whelan’s Forbes article Obama’s Doctor Knocks ObamaCare allows that: [Scheiner] [...]

Health Care For All, Cries Obama! Oh – Except For One Group! »

Oh, the irony is just too rich. Some of you may have heard that President Obama decided the other day, after getting hammered by the LGBT community over DADT and DOMA, to grant LGB federal employees partner benefits by Executive Decision. Kind of. First, it begs the question, if he could have done this all [...]

Who Went Bankrupt? »

The stereotype of who goes bankrupt is hardly complimentary. The image comes to mind of irresponsible people spending more than they know they have on whatever strikes their fancy, and then look for easy outs when the shit hits the fan. But, you probably know the correct answer to the question posed in the title. [...]

Barack Obama Spins the Facts, Takes Single-Payer Health Care Off the Tab »

Originally Published at Op-Ed News _____________________________________ Tom Cramer’s Duet, cropped Last Thursday at a town hall meeting in Rio Rancho New Mexico President Barack Obama was asked why, when “so many people go bankrupt using their credit cards to pay for healthcare. Why have they taken single-payer off the plate (audience applause), and why is [...]

A Debt We Owe Through Blood »

Joe Biden caused quite a stir when he equated paying higher taxes with patriotism. Biden told ABC’s Kate Snow: “We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people.” Snow asked: “Anybody making over $250,000…” Biden responded: “Is gonna pay more.” Snow: “Is going to pay more.” Biden: “You got [...]

Today the American Association for Retired People AARP sent out this press release on Top Voter Concerns in the swing state of Pennsylvania. They reached out to undecided voters in PA, asking them what their particular concerns are in the election. Pennsylvania is an important swing state. It is one of the large states needed [...]

Christina Applegate and Hillary Clinton UPDATED »

No, they are not related, though Hillary IS related to Angelina Jolie and Madonna. But that’s not the point here. While Obama continues his daily (it seems) flip flopping (“I’ll take money from NASA!” “I’m NOT Taking Money From NASA!” “I’ll Meet John McCain for Town Hall Forums!” “I WON’T Meet John McCain for Town [...]
