After inviting Al Gore to speak to the House of Representatives regarding their plans to pass the Cap and Trade Bill, Nancy Pelosi has decided to disinvite him, to have him make phone calls instead. "It was a question of what was energy efficient", she said, as if this woman who flies a large government jet to and from California each week-end is worried about energy efficiency.... Perhaps it is because his message of the globe warming up is a hard one to present, in the face of global cooling for the last ten years.....

From Matthew Vadum: President Obama suggested at a town hall event Wednesday night that one way to shave medical costs [from the government plan] is to stop expensive and ultimately futile procedures performed on people who are about to die and don't stand to gain from the extra care. In a nationally televised event at the White House, Obama said families need better information so they don't unthinkingly approve "additional tests or additional drugs that the evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve care." He added: "Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller." So, old people: screw you. In the future Uncle Sam will put you on an ice floe and let you float away to your heavenly reward. It gives new meaning to the Latin phrase "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori." (In English, How sweet and glorious it is to die for one's country.) Medical decisions should be made by patients, their families, and their doctors, not by government bureaucrats, but that's ObamaCare for you.

Barack Obama has suggested that that unions would be exempt from the taxation of their health care benefits under his ObmaCare plan! What?? Obama said he was open to imposing new taxes on Americans who are not union members. How that "Change" he promised working for us?

According to Senator John Conyers, "the powers that be decided against" a continuation of their investigations into ACORN and its possible voter fraud. This is the same ACORN who will be involved in taking our new Census......

Barack Obama has made some pretty shocking appointments in his first 5 months of office. But some say that the worst appointment yet is that of Kevin Jennings to serve as Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools in the Department of Education. Jennings, who is homosexual, founded and served as the Executive Director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) until last year. He has made a career of leading an effort to promote to children as young as kindergarteners that homosexuality is normal - via pro-homosexual messages. Every appointment of our President truly displays his agenda for America...

Wade Rathke, who founded ACORN, announced on his blog that ACORN International has officially changed its name to “Community Organizations International.” Too much bad press and 14 lawsuits is making it difficult for them to do business - so they are hoping a name change will provide cover for them..... They are also dismantling a New Orleans non-profit named Citizen's Consulting Inc. which is connected to several of over 200 ACORN affiliates. ACORN currently works in 12 countries.

Stating that SPEED is needed in order to pass the energy and health care bills, Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats have cut off debate regarding the group
ACORN and it's wide-ranging possible violations of the law..... they recently authorized an unprecedented change in House rules, curbing the right of the minority to offer amendments to appropriations spending bills.

While President Barack Obama is not creating another Czar, via Executive Order he is creating a White House council to handle issues that affect American communities and workers tied to the automotive industry, the White House Council on Automotive Communities and Workers. It is little wonder that the unemployment number in Washington, DC is only 5.6% or so.....

In a display of pure arrogance, pettiness and narcissism, California Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer admonished Brig. General Michael Walsh of the Army Corp of Engineers (while he was testifying to the Senate), "Do me a favor, can you say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am'? It's just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title, so I'd appreciate it. Thank you." Ms. Boxer SHOULD have been telling Walsh of her appreciation that he and all in the military are protecting our country so that she CAN be a Senator. If she understood the military, she would know that "Ma'am" is a very respectful way for a military person to address someone. How petty, small and embarrassing can one be?

From Politico, by Patrick O'Connor:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will roll the dice on a top priority this week, bringing a contentious climate-change bill to the floor despite strong misgivings from her rank-and-file and an outspoken chairman who remains a major impediment. The speaker filed the legislation with the Rules Committee on Monday night, her spokesman said, even though its authors, Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Massachusetts Rep. Ed Markey, are still working out a deal. [I'm sure this will be presented as a dire emergency which needs to be addressed NOW, along with everything else they are attempting in their desire to "never let a serious crisis go to waste". We can watch the farmers, among others, try to keep this from passing.] On the Global Warming front, Thursday was the 14th consecutive day in Arizona to stay below 100 degrees, the longest period in June to be recorded since 1913. When considering a national health care program for America, keep in mind that in Canada, where government provides health care for all of its citizens, patients must wait an average of 7 weeks for treatment of life-threatening cancer, and 9 hours for emergency room care.
