A few months ago, Obama moved the census under his control.
Now it’s Medicare
WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House is asking Congress to give the executive branch more power to limit Medicare’s rising costs. [...]Currently, Medicare reimbursement rates vary from region to region. Key lawmakers often get involved in setting local rates, a practice the Obama administration plan would end.

Obama Administration China apologist Gary Locke says US must pay for China’s carbon sins.
Seems only fair. I renounce myself from my consumption crimes.

How much would you bet that those states that support the O!ne will get reimbursed more “fairly” than red states?
Sucker bet.

Don’t look now, but someone has noticed Dear Leader leaving the men’s room with the toilet paper tucked into his trousers, his fly open and splash marks on his shoes. I never thought I’d read an article that dismissive of The One in the Washington Post without Charles Krauthammer’s name next to it. Also be sure to read the associated timeline.

And India tells Obama/Clinton to go fuck themselves on the “global warming” issue.

I know this has nothing to do with the post… NE ways, Obama is a socialist. The only way socialism can ever succeed is if it kills poor, black and hispanic babies. That is why abortion needs to continue to be legal. So that the socialist government of Obama won’t have to support the poor with welfare and other government aid. Imagine this, if our taxes had to support millions upon millions of poor black and hispanic people – the government would go bankrupt… Genocide of the poor and the weak – that’s the Obama story. He’s the Black Hero… LOL

Silver Whistle, I saw that WaPo article slapping at the O!ne this morning, via the cryings of a leftist blogger. I tried to help him peel more of those onions, of course.

serr8d, I see you were dealing with intellectual titans over there. Not one of them sought to take on Welch & Gillespie’s arguments. It is not going to end well for these guys – the hatred of middle America for this idiocy will only build.

One newspaper prints a critical article, and this is the response.
And then they use it as evidence to refute the leftist bias of the media. One critical article.

Has anyone besides Byrd even mentioned the 20+ Czars and the whole shadow Cabinet Obama has appointed?

Mark Steyn wrote that the only way to control public health care cost is to limit access. That’s what happens here in Canada, where, incidentally, private medical clinics are illegal. Now Toronto hospitals routinely send “excess” Canadian cancer patients to hospitals and private clinics in New York and elsewhere, and pick up the tab.
Watch out, guys.

However, unlike Carter, Obama, or at least those pulling the strings, do not believe that all the programs they hype and push are really about anything other than power for themselves. Carter really believed back then.
Obama knows he is just a salesman selling a shoddy product that will only enrich him and impoverish his “customers”. Carter is pitiful, Obama is something much worse.
