Obama acknowledges health overhaul hit 'buzz saw'
He's not listening to anything those that voted for him want....
Obama acknowledges health overhaul hit 'buzz saw':
In comments prepared for a town hall meeting in Ohio Friday, Obama said that the GOP victory in Tuesday's Senate election in Massachusetts has thrown Washington into something of a frenzy. Republican Scott Brown's victory denied Democrats the 60-vote filibuster-proof majority needed to advance the health care bill."

American Thinker: How to Cause a Political Tsunami:
Imagine that you were Martha Coakley and you were a shoo-in for the United States Senate only a month ago, making you a solid vote for President Obama's health care plan. Being a Democrat in Massachusetts with a twenty-point lead over your Republican opponent, a month before Election Day means you could spend the rest of the campaign on a beach in Tahiti with a Mai Tai in your lotion-covered hand. You could sip the rum cocktail through a straw and listen to the latest favorable polls from the land of the leftists."

American Thinker: Progressives and Their Fallacies:
Ideology knows no cultural, political, or economic boundaries. Adherents to doctrinaire belief systems -- left, right, religious, anti-religious -- brush aside evidence that might tempt them to question their beliefs. Yet one critter inhabits a class unto itself: the 'progressive,' a creature who drags muddled thought to unexplored depths."

American Thinker: Climategate: CRU Was But the Tip of the Iceberg:
Not surprisingly, the blatant corruption exposed at Britain’s premiere climate institute was not contained within the nation’s borders. Just months after the Climategate scandal broke, a new study has uncovered compelling evidence that our government’s principal climate centers have also been manipulating worldwide temperature data in order to fraudulently advance the global warming political agenda."

RealClearPolitics - The Meaning of Brown:
WASHINGTON -- On Jan. 14, five days before the Massachusetts special election, President Obama was in full bring-it-on mode as he rallied House Democrats behind his health care reform. 'If Republicans want to campaign against what we've done by standing up for the status quo and for insurance companies over American families and businesses, that is a fight I want to have.'"

I just love Alan Grayson - and I especially love the names for his proposed bills, and I can't wait to hear why the Republicans won't support them:
Anticipating a Supreme Court decision that could free corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) introduced five bills on Wednesday to choke off the expected flood of corporate cash."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The number of newly-laid off workers seeking jobless benefits unexpectedly rose last week, as the economy recovers at a slow and uneven pace.
Layoffs have slowed and the economy began to grow in last year's third quarter, but companies are reluctant to hire new workers. The unemployment rate is 10 percent and many economists expect it to increase in the coming months."

Dazed Democrats rethink entire strategy - Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen - POLITICO.com:
Usually, the tendency among political reporters and operatives alike is to overreact and overinterpret elections.
And there are caveats to the stunner in Massachusetts. Yes, this was a special election, which often produces unusual results. Yes, Democrat Martha Coakley ran a timid, sometimes terrible, campaign for Ted Kennedy’s old Senate seat. And it’s true that Massachusetts is not as liberal as many people assumed."

The best I could do is get a senior party official to respond to the Coakley memo on background. Rest assured -- this is a SENIOR party official, not some junior party official who is freelancing. This response represents what the DNC, DSCC and the White House think about the Coakley campaign."

TSA nominee withdraws amid 'political agenda'
And good for Jim DeMint....occasionally a Republican wakes up and see's something for what it is!!!!! SEIU MUST be stopped!
TSA nominee withdraws amid 'political agenda':
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's choice to lead the Transportation Security Administration withdrew his name Wednesday, a blow to an administration trying to explain how a man could attempt to blow up a commercial airliner on Christmas Day.
In a statement, Erroll Southers said he was pulling out because his nomination had become a lightning rod for those with a political agenda. Obama had tapped Southers, a former FBI agent, to lead the TSA in September but his confirmation has been blocked by Republican Sen. Jim DeMint, who says he was worried that Southers would allow TSA employees to have collective bargaining rights."

Obama vs. Brown a debate worth watching - Lowell Sun Online
Obama vs. Brown a debate worth watching - Lowell Sun Online:
State Sen. Scott Brown should have challenged Barack Obama to a debate.
One state senator to another.
They could have held it at the Statehouse, in the chambers of the Massachusetts Senate, at Northeastern, or even at the John F. Kennedy Library, where Brown cleaned Martha Coakley's clock a week ago.
If the president took the time to come to Massachusetts to campaign for Coakley on Sunday -- in the middle of the NFL playoff games between the Cowboys and the Vikings and the Jets and the Chargers -- surely he could have found a half-hour to have faced off with Brown."

Brown vs. Coakley Shows Obama Has Become a Political Albatross - Doug Heye (usnews.com)
Brown vs. Coakley Shows Obama Has Become a Political Albatross - Doug Heye (usnews.com):
Coverage of the Martha Coakley-Scott Brown Senate race brings to mind Yogi Berra’s famous quip, “It’s dejavu all over again.” Not because of Coakley claiming that Boston Red Sox great Curt Schilling was somehow a New York Yankees fan (more on that later) or even the apt comparison with the 1991 Harris Wofford-Dick Thornburgh special election which largely centered on health care (as Politico’s Alex Isenstadt noted)."
