Obamacare: Taxes for Everyone

The Daily Gamecock: US policy has changed little under Obama

"Where’s all the 'change' we were promised?

Obama has promised to 'remove all U.S. troops from Iraq,' but that will still leave at least 50,000 troops stationed there indefinitely. Obama is gearing up to expand the war in Afghanistan and has continued to move into Pakistan with unmanned drone attacks, continuing to kill hundreds of civilians.

"It seems that these wars can no longer be denounced as solely being 'Bush’s wars,' as Obama has claimed them as his own.

"By the way, seen any more anti-war rallies recently? They seem to have stopped on Jan. 20. Hmm ..."

Something about health care....

Under Clinton, Medicare providers still had free speech

Dissident Voice: In Obama We Trust

"Why does big labor 'trust' Obama, or the Democratic Party, except by default (not the worst defense)? Where’s the New Deal for non-auto workforces, or poor people outside New Orleans, or millions of hurting Main Streeters. Is $75 billion budgeted for foreclosure relief enough? Cash for Clunkers succeeded, but whether such costly subsidies simply enable staggering dinosaurs – or delay the worst – remains to be seen. Check out Obama broken promises (http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/rulings/promise-broken/); the president didn’t end income tax for seniors making less than $50K, toughen rules against revolving lobbyist doors, create a $3K new job tax credit, or allow penalty-free hardship withdrawals from retirement accounts. Over a trillion dollars for bankers and brokers, ungodly billions more for unpopular, failing wars – and small change for workers (modest tax cuts, health benefits for needy children). In short, average Americans feel besieged because they are besieged.

"So far, this president and his party (it’s never just about Obama) are hitting under .200, timidly battling for their own agenda. Is this shocking from a low-achiever, ex-junior senator close to Big Ag (ethanol producers), coal and nuclear energy, softer on health care and more hawkish on Afghanistan in primaries than Hillary? Obama the ambitious politician won statewide office thanks to the Chicago machine, then brashly ran for Congress (and got thumped), before lucking out when his GOP Senate foe imploded. Notably, the president rode one premature anti-war comment into effective anti-Iraq rhetoric, wrote an elegant, cagey manifesto, The Audacity of Hope, gave a great ’04 Convention speech, and leaned right in Democratic primaries. No complaints or excuses, folks: what we got is what we saw, if we looked behind his glitzy, brilliant campaign."

Washington Examiner:Independents desert Obama, putting 2010 in play

"Independent voters are turning away from President Obama and his fellow Democrats in droves. And if they can't find a way to get them back, the party could be in deep trouble for 2010 and beyond."

World Net Daily: The letter Joe Wilson should write

"Now it's your turn, Madame Speaker. I invite you and others in your party to apologize publicly to former President George W. Bush for vicious, personal and frequently race-based attacks.

"'Bush is an incompetent leader,' you said of the then-sitting president. 'In fact, he's not a leader. He's a person who has no judgment, no experience and no knowledge of the subjects that he has to decide upon.' If a Republican – especially a Southerner – attacked Obama that way, former President Jimmy Carter would call him or her a racist. Apologize, Madame Speaker.

"Sen. Ted Kennedy died never having apologized. Kennedy accused the Bush administration of lying about the intelligence leading up to the Iraq war. 'Week after week after week,' Kennedy said from the Senate floor, 'we were told lie after lie after lie.' Please check the rules for a posthumous resolution of admonition.

"How about an apology from now-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? She played the race card. Before a predominately black audience, Clinton said, 'When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation. And you know what I'm talking about.'

"Imagine attacking Obama's intelligence the way members of your party did to that of President Bush. 'I sometimes feel that Alfred E. Neuman is in charge in Washington,' said Clinton, referring to the dimwitted icon of Mad magazine. She even used Neuman's catchphrase, 'What, me worry?' to describe how Bush handled tough issues.

"What about an apology from Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.? Like his colleague, the late senior senator from the Bay State, Kerry also accused Bush of lying. 'Their plan,' Kerry said on Don Imus' show in 2006, 'is lie and die. And that's what they're doing. They lie to America about what's happening on the ground; they lie about why we're there; they lie about what's happening.' Kerry, too, questioned Bush's intelligence. As the returns for the 2004 presidential race came in, Kerry said, 'I can't believe I'm losing to this idiot.' Imagine someone in my party – based on the current standard of 'civility' – saying something like that about President Obama.

"What about Democratic Sen. (and then-minority leader) Harry Reid of Nevada? He called Bush a 'loser' and a 'liar.' Reid apologized for the 'loser' comment but let stand 'liar.'

"What about Democratic Rep. John Dingell of Michigan? On ABC's 'Nightline,' he compared the then-GOP-controlled House to 'the Duma and the Reichstag' – referring to the legislature set up by Czar Nicholas II of Russia and the German Weimar Republic's parliament, which brought Adolf Hitler to power. (Of course, 'Bush equals Hitler' posters, swastikas and calls for assassination were commonplace at anti-Bush rallies.)

"What about the use of the race card by now-chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Democrat Charlie Rangel of New York? He called President George W. Bush 'our Bull Connor.' Who was Bull Connor? He was the racist (Democratic) Birmingham, Ala., public safety commissioner who sicced dogs and turned fire hoses on civil-rights marchers in the 1960s
What about the use of the race card against Bush by then-candidate and now-Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri? About the administration's response to Hurricane Katrina, she said, 'George Bush let people die on rooftops in New Orleans because they were poor and because they were black.'

"What about Democratic Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, who also accused Bush of racism in responding to Hurricane Katrina? Incredibly, he offered this conspiracy theory: Bush wanted blacks to leave Louisiana to make it a more solidly Republican red state. Frank called this 'ethnic cleansing by inaction.'

"Neither then-presidential campaign manager Donna Brazile nor her boss, Al Gore, ever apologized for Brazile's assertion that the Republican Party possesses a 'white-boy attitude.' This means, she explained, '(the GOP) must exclude, denigrate and leave behind.'

"What about former governor/presidential candidate/Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean? He characterized the contest between Democrats and Republicans as 'a struggle of good and evil. And,' Dean said, 'we're the good.' Dean also told a National Public Radio audience, 'The most interesting theory that I've heard so far – which is nothing more than a theory, it can't be proved – is that (Bush) was warned (about the 9/11 attacks) ahead of time by the Saudis.'

"And finally, what about 'the tone' of President Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel? In a 2006 Chicago Tribune article, Emanuel succinctly expressed his feelings toward my party. '(Republicans),' he said, 'can go f--- themselves.'"

ABC Notices Obama Administration's Effort to Suppress Criticism of ObamaCare

World Net Daily: Holdren says Constitution backs compulsory abortion

Arguing that 'ample authority' exists to regulate population growth, Holdren and the Ehrlichs wrote on page 837 of their 1970s textbook that 'under the United States Constitution, effective population-control programs, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.'

"In the next sentence, the authors were careful to note that few in the U.S. in the 1970s considered the situation serious enough to justify compulsion.

"Still, in the next paragraph, the authors advanced their key point: 'To provide a high quality of life for all, there must be fewer people.'

"The authors of 'Ecoscience' argued that a 'legal restriction on the right to have more than a given number of children' could be crafted under the U.S. Constitution in crisis situations under the standard that 'law has as its proper function the protection of each person and each group of persons.'"

On page 838, the authors argued, "The law could properly say to a mother that, in order to protect the children she already has, she could have no more."

World Net Daily: The facts don't lie – he does

"People don't trust you, and it has nothing to do with your skin color – as Maureen Dowd, Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., and Gov. David Paterson, D-N.Y., want us to believe. And to that point, I share one of the many comments I've received: 'Did you watch Obama tonight? I thought he came across as extremely partisan and also very confrontational, especially toward the end. There were a few things he talked about I thought were good ideas, but I do not believe him when he says this won't cost any more. I'm not an imbecile, and I suppose he hoped we wouldn't remember he said he'd cut $500 billion from Medicare (what crap). Then I find out later, after the speech, that the figure is actually $620 billion, and if all the fraud and waste savings would pay for the program, then why hasn't it been done already?'
