Filed Under Health Care, Law, Politics | 20 Comments

It’s not surprising that Obama isn’t very popular in West Virginia — even Joe Manchin won’t say if he’s voting for him (and remember this?). But this is just plain good fun: One in three voters in the WV Democrat presidential primary pulled the lever for a convicted felon over Barack Obama: Just how unpopular [...]

Out: ‘Individual Mandate’ — In: ‘Personal Responsibility Clause’

Filed Under Health Care, Politics | 24 Comments

***** Obama’s last chance on health care: Hoping the Supreme Court’s skeptical conservatives are really, really gullible and stupid. Team Obama has not only come up with a cute name to make the mandate sound less mandatey, but they’re also calling the Affordable Care Act a “bipartisan bill” — much in the same way they [...]

RNC Ad: Obamacare — A Tough Sell

Filed Under Health Care, Law, Politics | 28 Comments

Yesterday, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli put in a performance worthy of Miss Teen South Carolina in his pro-Obamacare arguments (to properly sell something you have to first believe it yourself).

Filed Under Health Care, Media, Politics | 15 Comments

They didn’t exactly come out and say that, but it’s certainly fair to say that the alternate headline for this NBC Today Show piece is “Should we let older conservatives die so somebody not as crazy can be saved?” The Today Show’s medical correspondent/resident death panel expert asks “How old is too old to receive [...]

It is Still a BFD (Provided the ‘D’ Stands for ‘Debt’)

Filed Under Health Care, Politics | 5 Comments

It’s been two years since President Obama signed the Unaffordable Care Act and Joe Biden uttered his now famous “this is a big f-ing deal.” The Obama campaign is still doing some fundraising off the Plugs’ fit of giddy, power-grab induced Tourette syndrome: ***** This is ripe for Republican mockery. I’d suggest the GOP counter [...]

Filed Under Health Care, Politics | 9 Comments

Today marks two years since Obama signed the ironically-titled “Affordable Care Act,” the law that was born breach and without an epidural for its host — American taxpayers present and future.

Hey everybody, get out and exercise more! Then there’s this from the Secretary of Health & Human Services: Encourage more exercise… that is unless it interferes with the government taking greater control of the food industry — in that case, please stand down and remain stationary, helpless and fat. Before we try to tackle obesity [...]

Sandra Fluke Gets a Phone Call from the President, America Temporarily Distracted From Gas Prices, Unemployment, Debt, Obamacare & Failed Stimulus; Update: Rush Apologizes to Fluke

Filed Under Health Care, Politics | 14 Comments

Seriously, can a “Slut Summit” at the White House be far behind? On Friday, Sandra Fluke got a phone call from the president, and surprisingly enough that president was not Bill Clinton. These people are so theatrical that it’s hard to believe the Obama presidency wasn’t scripted by Andrew Lloyd Webber: President Barack Obama on [...]
