When Katie Couric and the folks at CBS start doubting what the Administration says about how effective February's economic stimulus package was, you know President Obama is in trouble.
Consider that on Thursday's CBS 'Evening News,' Chip Reid began a segment with the following startling statement about a jobs report card to be released by the White House Friday:"

Oct. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Heresy, thy name is Christina Romer.
Last week, the chairman of President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers -- a position that carried the title “chief economist” until Larry Summers took up residence in the White House -- testified to the Joint Economic Committee on the economic crisis and the efficacy of the policy response.
Here’s the executive summary in case you missed it:
The crisis: “Inherited.”
The economy: “In terrible shape” (the inherited one).
The shocks to the system: “Larger than those that precipitated the Great Depression.”
The policy response: “Strong and timely.”"

Constitutionality of health overhaul questioned - Washington Times
These people wouldn't know the Constitution if it ran up and bit them on the ass!
A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.

Constitutionality of health overhaul questioned - Washington Times: "On top of all the other obstacles facing President Obama in his quest to pass health reform is this one: Does the U.S. Constitution allow the government to require uninsured Americans to buy medical insurance or impose a tax penalty if they refuse?"

American Thinker Blog: Mitt Romney Votes Present
I'm from Massachusetts - and I can tell you right out - that is all Mitt will ever do. He seems a "nice" man.....I want a LEADER. He's also the one who saddled us in Massachusetts with AWFUL Universal Health Care.......
American Thinker Blog: Mitt Romney Votes Present:
As reported here by ABC News (online), Mitt Romney '...doesn't plan to make any endorsement at all' regarding the contentious NY23 Congressional race.
What does this say about Mitt? When balanced against Sarah Palin's political courage, it seems telling. Sarah is a political alpha, a leader for the future. Mitt, in spite of his genuine conservatism and mastery of issues, is almost certainly not."

If there was a degree of dejavu for fans of Barack Obama crammed inside a university athletic arena in Hackensack, New Jersey, the other evening, it was entirely deliberate. They only had to close their eyes and listen to the deafening chants of 'Yes We Can' to imagine they had been transported back to the heady days of a year ago when their candidate was on the verge of seizing the White House and making history."

An anti-Pelosi activist started screaming into a bullhorn, 'Nazi Pelosi! Nazi Pelosi! You'll burn in hell for this!' as she was announcing the plan, which includes a public option.
Pelosi, scarcely missing a beat, responded, 'Thank you, insurance companies of America.'

Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many 'czars' appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?
Did you think that another 'czar' would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers-- that is, to create a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they publish?"

In 2002, Caltrans (California Department of Transportation ) began the construction of a new eastern span of the Bay Bridge. The estimated cost was $1.3 billion dollars. The plan? To rebuild rather than retrofit the span after the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 caused a section of the bridge to collapse."

Ending "Too Big To Fail"? - The Market Ticker:
WASHINGTON -- A deal between the Treasury Department and a key House Democrat would give the government sweeping new powers to police the country's largest financial companies, including the ability to seize and break up failing companies and order large firms to shrink.
Uh huh.
The proposal would require financial firms with more than $10 billion of assets to pay for the unwinding of a collapsed competitor. The measure would also give the Federal Reserve the power to direct any large financial holding company to sell or transfer assets or stop certain activities if the central bank determined there could be a 'threat to the safety and soundness of such company or to the financial stability of the United States.' This suggests the Fed would win new authority to order companies to shrink."

Mainstream Media Ignores Juicy ACORN Nuggets: by Hannah Giles
The “Pimp and Pro” story, exposing ACORN’s willingness to advise a prostitute on tax evasion and child sex trafficking, hit America a few weeks ago. There were a myriad number of angles to report, yet the Mainstream Media's favorite approach seems to be the method in which James O’Keefe and I orchestrated and gathered the information."

Baucus: A 'massive, massive' bill - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room
Well then...I'd say it'll also have a "Massive, Massive" price tag with a "Massive, Massive" bureaucracy to administer...but...of course....it won't cost the American tax-payer a cent.....?
Baucus: A 'massive, massive' bill - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room:
Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) wants you to know just how huge the healthcare reform bill is.
'This is so massive,' Baucus told reporters today. 'It is so complicated.'
Baucus was trying to emphasize that the public option is just one part of an overwhelmingly large bill, but his comments echo GOP concerns about the scope of healthcare reform.
Baucus emphasized his point a number of times.
'This is a massive, massive bill...So I just caution all of us to remember just how big this bill is,' he said."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Senate committee on Tuesday launched three days of hearings on a Democratic climate bill aimed at reducing carbon pollution while making the United States a world leader in cleaner energy.
In an uphill battle to pass legislation, especially before an international summit convenes in Copenhagen in December, Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer said the bill would only cost consumers about 30 cents a day and make the United States the 'world's leader in clean energy technology.'"

Obama Taking Us On Path To Fascism - The Philadelphia Bulletin:
During the last presidential campaign, I said there was a light whiff of fascism coming from the Obama campaign. That was based on its habit of improperly trying to repress criticism of every kind. Example: A Chicago radio station was planning on airing a critic of President Obama, who was publicizing the candidate’s close association with terrorist Bill Ayres. The Obama campaign organized a call-in campaign to flood the station with calls and prevent the critic from being heard. Anther example: The Obama campaign warned that any critics in Missouri would be subjected to prosecution there if they voiced criticism that was not true. There was a 'Barack Obama Truth Squad” made up of prosecutors and sheriffs to keep critics in line,"...
