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:
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."

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."
