Health Care Reform Summit Arrogance

Here we are a year and a month into President Obama’s presidency and he has accomplished nothing and is still clinging to health care reform as if everyone wants it. The so called, “Health Care Summit” that took place a few days ago was bad political theater. The president either came prepared with Machiavellian lines [...]

Obama Panders to Women

President Obama is considering submitting a $3.8 trillion budget on February 1st that exempts programs for women and girls from the spending freeze he proposed a few days ago. This is payback to women for voting for him and, more importantly, is also a way to appease women’s groups. Many of these groups are upset [...]

The Tidal Wave of “Change” Has Started

Obama ran on the premise of “change.” Unfortunately, his change is one that the electorate of this country is soundly rejecting. The real change has started with the three Democratic losses in Virginia, New Jersey and now Massachusetts—the bluest of states. It is so blue, that Obama carried Massachusetts by 26 percentage points and Kennedy [...]

Go Brown!

No, I am not advocating the use of UPS—although they are a great company with excellent service. Instead, I am advocating a victory for Republican Scott Brown in the race for the seat left vacant by the deceased Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA). Massachusetts is a state that is solidly Democrat with a three to one [...]

Democrat Physician Switches Parties

Representative Parker Griffith (D-AL) switched political parties to become a Republican because on his disdain for the Democratic push for health care reform at all costs. This switch is significant for many reasons including one less vote in the House of Representatives for the Democrats.
Representative Griffith is an oncologist and one of the few physicians [...]

Transparent Government—NOT!

President Obama ran for president with a pledge of transparency in government. He claimed that everything in his administration would be open for public inspection and discussion. It is obvious now that his campaign pledge was complete prevarication.  I have never experienced a more secret government in the United States.
The health care debacle has [...]

A Legislative Train Wreck of Historic Proportions

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called the health care bill that is now headed for cloture “a legislative train wreck of historic proportions.” Most of the country agrees with him. Nonetheless, the Senate is on its way to imposing its will on the American people just for the sake of saying that they accomplished something. This [...]

Mendacity of “Pass-Anything” Democrats

The Democrat party is determined to pass anything they can call health care reform this year without regard to whether it improves conditions for the uninsured or helps doctors and hospitals. The current idea of the minute is to expand the bankrupt Medicare system to include more people. Sounds like a plan to me. Why [...]

Democrats Continue Arrogant Path

First the House of Representatives passed a bill that I did not believe would make it and now the Senate has voted 60-39* to allow debate on a different health care bill that includes a public option. Historically, most bills that make it to debate on the Senate floor are ultimately passed into law. I’m [...]

“PelosiCare Must Be Defeated”

Democrats were trounced in New Jersey and Virginia, but still have not learned their lesson. Led by Congressman Pelosi (D-CA) and President Obama, the Democrats are poised to arrogantly push through a health care bill that no one wants and is not needed.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) spoke to a group of thousands who [...]
