I'm sure O will blame the Bush administration once again (after almost a year in the job). Of course, they'll want to talk about 'jobs saved'. http://finance.yahoo.com/ne... Also, here is an interesting map; http://tipstrategies.com/ar... So, let's pass the cap & tax to chase more jobs over sea. Let's pass the healthcare to put more burden on the American families. How about some more stimulus printed monopoly money for GM. Hope you're liking that hope & change. More cool aid anyone? Did anyone watch the returns last night? I belive the best thing that can happen to conservatism is few years of liberalism (in this case, less than one). America needs social and fiscal conservatism to stay ahead of the liberal europeans. Does this put the healthcare bill in jeapordy? I think the statement is we're tired of entitlement mentality handed out at the white house, we're tired of bailing out companies 'too big to fail' and we're tired of goverment throwing their weight around. I think the tide is turning and is turing for what America should stand for - hard work and dedication pays. So, how's that hope & change working out for you? To TBC, thanks for kicking djembe, absent dave, dodger fan or what ever else alias this person goes by off of the blog site. Maybe now he can use that spare time to go look for a job and be a productive member of the society. Or, he may show up with a new ip address. As smart as he has been in getting back to this site, you wonder why he doesn't apply that to his personal life to get ahead. I will not miss him. Obama spoke of transparency. However, his actions have been anything but. This is the latest saga of a small minded administration / president. This administration's attempt to control media - sounds like a communist country yet? Whether you're a democrat or a republican, I hope you will agree that state shouldn't attempt to control the media. Waging a war against Rush or Foxnews is indeed an act by a thin skinned administration - especially when there are much bigger issues like cap & tax, healthcare, two wars, federal deficit, stimulus spending, etc...
White House Escalates War on Fox News
Senior Obama administration officials took to the airwaves Sunday to accuse Fox News of pushing a particular point of view and not being a real news network.

http://origin2.foxnews.com/...Report: Charlie Sheen Seeks Meeting With Obama to Discuss 9/11 'Cover-Up'In an interview with PrisonPlanet.com, The “Two and a Half Men” star unveils a fictional 20-minute exchange he imagines having with Obama – whom he supported in the November election – during which he implores the president to get on “the right side of history.” Sheen, 44, argues that “the official 9/11 story is a fraud” and claims the attacks served as “the pretext for the systematic dismantling of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.” Moreover, he charges that the Bush/Cheney “regime” was behind the attacks as a prelude to justify an invasion of Iraq. Sheen also insinuates that Usama bin Laden is working for the U.S. government. Sheen, who has been an adamant “9/11 Truther” for years, demands in his imagined meeting with Obama that the president answer what he calls a “bottomless warren of unanswered questions surrounding that day and its aftermath.” Sheen is now married to Brooke Mueller, with whom he has two sons. If you're not pissed at this, I challenge your patriotism. Besides a harmless jab from the likes of Charlie Sheen or idiotic comments by Matt Damon, the John Adams project actually puts US civil servant at grave harms way. No matter what you think of the past administration, one fact remains and that is we were not attacked after 9/11. Current administration's unwillingness to act tough on these guys is a proof that 1) we have a very short memory and 2) we are exposing our underbellies to nameless organizations (cowards) around the world - they are called Terrorists. Also, notice the absence of this coverage by the alphabet channels (as well as their lack of US soldier casualty counts they so proudly produced on daily basis during the past administration, but magically disappears under the current administration).

The John Adams Project By Bill O'Reilly for BillOReilly.com Thursday, September 10, 2009 When I think of the terrorist atrocity that happened eight years ago, I feel deeply for people like Vic and Christine Colaio. These two fine Americans lost their sons Stephen and Mark who both worked in the World Trade Center. Along with their daughter Jean, the elderly couple suffers their loss on a daily basis. Time does not heal those kinds of wounds. There are lots of good messages in this video. But the ending is really scary... http://www.sltrib.com/news/... I pledge to be a servant? Which last US president asked us to be his servant? I'll buy the sevitude to our God and our country, but this is a little freaky. And you want to start what new program with money from where? Think about this before you sign on for another new program, stimulus, or gov't bail out. As I have said in the past, our Gov't does not generate income. They tax us and spend even faster as seen by this web site. Think about that before you cry national healthcare again.
Take Two Aspirin And Call Me When Your Cancer is Stage 4

All the problems with the American health care system come from government intervention, so naturally the Democrats' idea for fixing it is more government intervention. This is like trying to sober up by having another drink.
The reason seeing a doctor is already more like going to the DMV, and less like going to the Apple "Genius Bar," is that the government decided health care was too important to be left to the free market. Yes -- the same free market that has produced such a cornucopia of inexpensive goods and services that, today, even poor people have cell phones and flat-screen TVs. As a result, it's easier to get your computer fixed than your health. Thanks, government! We already have near-universal health coverage in the form of Medicare, Medicaid, veterans' hospitals, emergency rooms and tax-deductible employer-provided health care -- all government creations. So now, everyone expects doctors to be free. People who pay $200 for a haircut are indignant if it costs more than a $20 co-pay to see a doctor. The government also "helped" us by mandating that insurance companies cover all sorts of medical services, both ordinary -- which you ought to pay for yourself -- and exotic, such as shrinks, in vitro fertilization and child-development assessments -- which no normal person would voluntarily pay to insure against. This would be like requiring all car insurance to cover the cost of gasoline, oil and tire changes -- as well as professional car detailing, iPod docks, and leather seats and those neon chaser lights I have all along the underbody of my chopped, lowrider '57 Chevy. But politicians are more interested in pleasing lobbyists for acupuncturists, midwives and marriage counselors than they are in pleasing recent college graduates who only want to insure against the possibility that they'll be hit by a truck. So politicians at both the state and federal level keep passing boatloads of insurance mandates requiring that all insurance plans cover a raft of non-emergency conditions that are expensive to treat -- but whose practitioners have high-priced lobbyists. As a result, a young, healthy person has a choice of buying artificially expensive health insurance that, by law, covers a smorgasbord of medical services of no interest to him ... or going uninsured. People who aren't planning on giving birth to a slew of children with restless leg syndrome in the near future forgo insurance -- and then politicians tell us we have a national emergency because some people don't have health insurance. The whole idea of insurance is to insure against catastrophes: You buy insurance in case your house burns down -- not so you can force other people in your plan to pay for your maid. You buy car insurance in case you're in a major accident, not so everyone in the plan shares the cost of gas. Just as people use vastly different amounts of gasoline, they also use vastly different amounts of medical care -- especially when an appointment with a highly trained physician costs less than a manicure. Insurance plans that force everyone in the plan to pay for everyone else's Viagra and anti-anxiety pills are already completely unfair to people who rarely go to the doctor. It's like being forced to share gas bills with a long-haul trucker or a restaurant bill with Michael Moore. On the other hand, it's a great deal for any lonely hypochondriacs in the plan. Now the Democrats want to force us all into one gigantic national health insurance plan that will cover every real and mythical ailment that has a powerful lobby. But if you have a rare medical condition without a lobbying arm, you'll be out of luck. Even two decades after the collapse of liberals' beloved Soviet Union, they can't grasp that it's easier and cheaper to obtain any service provided by capitalism than any service provided under socialism. You don't have to conjure up fantastic visions of how health care would be delivered in this country if we bought it ourselves. Just go to a grocery store or get a manicure. Or think back to when you bought your last muffler, personal trainer, computer and every other product and service available in inexpensive abundance in this capitalist paradise. Third-party payer schemes are always a disaster -- less service for twice the price! If you want good service at a good price, be sure to be the one holding the credit card. Under "universal health care," no one but government bureaucrats will be allowed to hold the credit card. Isn't food important? Why not "universal food coverage"? If politicians and employers had guaranteed us "free" food 50 years ago, today Democrats would be wailing about the "food crisis" in America, and you'd be on the phone with your food care provider arguing about whether or not a Reuben sandwich with fries was covered under your plan. Instead of making health care more like the DMV, how about we make it more like grocery stores? Give the poor and tough cases health stamps and let the rest of us buy health care -- and health insurance -- on the free market.
