Obama Gives Shout Out to 'Congressional Medal of Honor Winner' Who Isn't | NewsBusters.org

Obama Gives Shout Out to 'Congressional Medal of Honor Winner' Who Isn't | NewsBusters.org:

The Washington Post this afternoon reported 'President Obama delivers remarks on Ft. Hood shooting at end of tribal leaders conference.' The transcript begins:

SPEAKER: PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

[*] OBAMA: Please, everybody, have a seat. Let me first of all just thank Ken and the entire Department of the Interior staff for organizing just an extraordinary conference.

I want to thank my Cabinet members and senior administration officials who participated today. I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow (ph) was around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner. It's good to see you."

Obama's Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting | NBC Chicago

ONCE AGAIN-Hypocrisy Howl-Ler!!! Can you IMAGINE if this was GWB???? But t's the Chosen One......it's OK......

Obama's Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting | NBC Chicago:


But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks. At the event, a Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian affairs, the president thanked various staffers and offered a 'shout-out' to 'Dr. Joe Medicine Crow -- that Congressional Medal of Honor winner.' Three minutes in, the president spoke about the shooting, in measured and appropriate terms. Who is advising him?"

House Committee on Ways & Means - Republican

Welcome to home of the Free....Woops...not anymore more under Obamalosi Medicine....we DESERVE this insanity if we keep ELECTING this insanity!

House Committee on Ways & Means - Republican: Buy a $15000 Policy or Go to Jail...

Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years."

American Thinker: UK renewables revolution threatens blackouts

American Thinker: UK renewables revolution threatens blackouts:

It is easy to understand the romantic attraction of the clean energy revolution and the rush to replace ‘dirty' fossil fuels. In the light of the war on carbon it's a no brainer, right? Which is precisely why, just as diminishing EU and UK subsidies are prompting an industry exodus westward, the British renewables industry may be about to be given an unexpected investment shot in the arm from some of the world's biggest multinational companies in one of the biggest analogies to the adage 'I gave at the church,' in this case the environmentalism church."

American Thinker: Obama-Pelosi to Health Insurers: Shut Up or We'll Shut You Down

American Thinker: Obama-Pelosi to Health Insurers: Shut Up or We'll Shut You Down:

President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and their Democratic followers in Congress have a rather draconian message for the private sector: Speak now, and we'll make you forever hold your peace.

Up until a few weeks ago, America's health insurers were sheepishly on board with the Obama-Pelosi health care reform plan. Perhaps the industry feared that voicing any concern about the plan would unleash the ire of an increasingly rabid Democratic majority on Capitol Hill. As it turns out, the health insurers were right."

American Thinker: Mark the Date

American Thinker: Mark the Date:

This coming Saturday, November 7, is an auspicious anniversary. It was on this day in 2008 that president-elect Obama held his first press conference and introduced the world to the Office of the President Elect, complete with official-looking logo. President-elect Obama addressed the world from behind the president elect podium at least 6 times, generally indicating what he expected the outgoing administration to have done by the time he took office, like spending half of the TARP funds that he had helped secure the previous month."

Republicans Rally Resistance to Health Care Bill, as House Vote Nears - FOXNews.com

Republicans Rally Resistance to Health Care Bill, as House Vote Nears - FOXNews.com:

Republicans host a rally against Democrats' health care reform, calling on those who attend to track down their elected representatives in Congress and put pressure on them to think twice about voting for the more than $1 trillion health care overhaul."

Republican Leader John Boehner | Speaker Pelosi�€™s Government-Run Health Plan Will Require a Monthly Abortion Premium

Republican Leader John Boehner | Speaker Pelosi's Government-Run Health Plan Will Require a Monthly Abortion Premium:

Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to use federal funds to pay for elective abortions. Health reform should be an opportunity to protect human life - not end it.

Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi’s 2,032-page government takeover of health care does just that.� On line 17, p. 110, section 222 under “Abortions for which Public Funding is Allowed” the Health and Human Services Secretary is given the authority to determine when abortion is allowed under the government-run plan.� The Speaker’s plan also requires that at least one insurance plan offered in the Exchange covers abortions.

What is even more alarming is that a monthly abortion premium will be charged of all enrollees in the government-run plan.� It’s right there on line 16, page 96, section 213, under “Insurance Rating Rules.”� The premium will be paid into a U.S. Treasury account - and these federal funds will be used to pay for the abortion services."

Joe Wilson Proposes Forcing Congress Onto Government Health Insurance Plan - FOXNews.com

Joe Wilson Proposes Forcing Congress Onto Government Health Insurance Plan - FOXNews.com:

Republican Rep. Joe Wilson proposed an amendment Wednesday that would force all members of Congress to receive health insurance coverage through the government-run plan proposed in the House's reform bill.

Though Republicans oppose the so-called 'public option,' the South Carolina gadfly -- who gained notoriety for shouting 'you lie' at President Obama during his address to Congress two months ago -- is proposing the requirement to draw attention to what he sees as the plan's flaws."

Senate panel approves Democratic climate bill | Politics | Reuters:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on Thursday approved a Democratic climate change bill that would require industry to cut emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases 20 percent by 2020 from 2005 levels.

With Republicans boycotting the committee's work saying more analysis of the legislation was needed, 10 Democrats voted to approve the legislation and one Democrat, Senator Max Baucus, voted against it."

Debra J. Saunders : There Is No Honor; There's Only Killing - Townhall.com:

The Council on American-Islamic Relations sent out its usual roundup Tuesday of news stories alleging the mistreatment of Muslims in America. There was a story critical of the FBI harassment of Muslims in Queens, N.Y., in the wake of the arrest of a suspected terrorist. Another story concerned calls for an investigation into an FBI shooting that left Detroit Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah dead. There were also notices of CAIR banquets.

There was no story about Noor Faleh Almaleki. Her father, Faleh Hassan Almaleki, has been arrested for running down his 20-year-old daughter, as well as the mother of her live-in boyfriend, on Oct. 20 in an Arizona parking lot with his 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. On Monday, Noor Almaleki died, in what is considered the latest 'honor killing' in America."

Of course you did, Dear.......

Pelosi dismisses Dem losses in Virginia and New Jersey - Live Pulse - POLITICO.com: "We won last night"

Most House Democrats tried to put a good face on Tuesday's election results, saying they picked up two more votes for a sweeping health care bill that could be on the floor as early as Friday.

But it can't make it any easier for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as she works to corral the last holdouts she needs to pass legislation overhauling the nation’s health care system."

Proposed law would require pay for sick workers | Health | Reuters

This clown is from a State with 14.2% Unemployment...does he somehow think this will HELP???? WHY-WHY-WHY does Washington ALWAYS insist business won't do what is right IF THEY CAN??? I am so SICK of that mindset! Try running a business these days.....I doubt there would be many if ANY takers amongst our Fearless (HA!) Leaders in Washington....

Proposed law would require pay for sick workers | Health | Reuters:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. employers who tell workers to stay home when they are sick will have to give them paid time off for up to five days under new federal legislation proposed on Tuesday.

The emergency law would cover pandemic H1N1 flu or any other infectious disease, said California Representative George Miller, a Democrat who chairs the House Education and Labor Committee and who introduced the bill.

'Sick workers advised to stay home by their employers shouldn't have to choose between their livelihood, and their co-workers' or customers' health,' Miller said."

American Thinker: Conservatives, End the Apology Tour

American Thinker: Conservatives, End the Apology Tour:

Ever since the left wing captured the universities and media, putative conservatives desiring media favor and intellectual respectability have been apologizing for conservatism's most popular and effective figures. These days, they want to distance themselves from the 'anger' and 'extremism' of such personalities as Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.

What they ought to be doing instead is taking lessons from Beck as he lectures in front of a blackboard, a fitting symbol for what has gone wrong. Conservatism is rising, and we have the intellectual and historical high ground."

American Thinker: The Sociopathic Epidemic

American Thinker: The Sociopathic Epidemic:

I'm amazed by the soothsayers: Ayn Rand, for instance, who warned us fifty years ago of the risk of dictatorship or civil war if collectivism persisted. Or economist Friedrich Hayek, who wrote in the 1940s that we'll become serfs if we move toward big government.

However, what feels most prophetic lately is an obscure movie from the l970s called Little Murders. The writer, Pulitzer-Prize-winning cartoonist Jules Feiffer, predicted that the '60s would unleash a feral, primitive society."

The American Spectator : Behold a Trojan Pony

The American Spectator : Behold a Trojan Pony:

Last week the Congressional Budget Office 'scored' the House of Representatives' revised health insurance 'public option' and found it would charge premiums higher than those of private insurance and attract only six million buyers.

Thus, the growing worry that a public option would undercut private policies and soon drive them out of business seemed to evaporate. Speaker Pelosi, cheerleader for a 'public option,' gloated that the consolidated House bill came in under President Obama's declared ceiling cost of $900 billion and would not add to the deficit."

Ahhhh, nary a vote had been cast when the name calling began..............

Townhall.com Blog : Meredith Jessup : NYTimes' Frank Rich: "The GOP Stalinists Invade Upstate New York":

Barack Obama’s most devilish political move since the 2008 campaign was to appoint a Republican congressman from upstate New York as secretary of the Army. This week’s election to fill that vacant seat has set off nothing less than a riotous and bloody national G.O.P. civil war. No matter what the results in that race on Tuesday, the Republicans are the sure losers. This could be a gift that keeps on giving to the Democrats through 2010, and perhaps beyond."

Ken Blackwell : Ditherer-in-Chief - Townhall.com:

There's a vicious rumor being reported in Washington. It says President Obama was holding off his announcement of new troop movements into Afghanistan not until after Hamid Karzai's election runoff that had been scheduled for November 8, but until after today's closely-watched off-year elections. The basis for that rumor is the idea that Obama would not want to depress his own base, discourage 'peace' voters from voting in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York's 23rd congressional district."

Much of what aggravates the Obama administration about FOX News is what Joe Biden would call a three-letter word: B-E-C-K.

Beck calls himself a 'rodeo clown.' That fits. A rodeo clown distracts the bull's attention to defend rodeo riders at risk. Beck believes the nation is at risk and he's out to distract the raging bulls, or the progressives in power."
