"Last year Black folks represented and came out in record numbers to vote for Barack Obama in the presidential elections. This was a good thing I suppose; even in casting a shadow of blind support in the eyes of many and used as ammunition by the Nay Sayers - you know who I'm talking about, right?
"I guess this is why it was big enough news when an exclusively Black organization that looks nothing like the NAACP recently protested the war in Afghanistan by marching in Washington DC. The march was put together by Omali Yeshitela's Black is Black Coalition."

William Pfaff: A Year With Obama – and US Foreign Relations Have Only Worsened
"Who would have thought a year ago that most of the issues of conflict in America’s foreign relations would be made worse during the first year following Barack Obama’s election as U.S. president?"
Barry Brownstein: Forgiving Major Hasan
"Given Hasan’s difficulties in his professional studies and his conflict over his religious and military duties, it would be instructive to ask whether Maj. Hasan was on psychotropic drugs? We do know that Dr. Hasan, as a psychiatrist, was trained to believe that human emotions, such as depression and anxiety, reflect biochemical imbalances in the brain that can be treated with psychotropic drugs. A 2007 study in the journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics revealed that almost 16% of psychiatrists self-medicated for depression. I would expect that any commission that investigates Hasan’s rampage will ignore the issue of drugs. The pharmaceutical lobby is simply too powerful."
Yid with Lid: Nancy Pelosi HYPOCRISY "Not Giving Congress 3 Days To Read Bill is an OUTRAGE !!"
"C-Span is forever. Back in 2005, then house minority leader, Nancy Pelosi stood up on the house floor complaining that the Republican leadership was being outrageous by not giving members of Congress three days to read a bill. She went on to say 'I expect you know what you are voting on.'
"Of Course that was then, this is now. Now, the hypocritical Ms. Pelosi expects congressmen to vote for what ever she tells them to vote on whether they have read it or not."

YID with Lid: Dept. of Health and Human Services Report, Obamacare Will Cause Health Costs to RISE
"President Obama has said it over and over, health care reform was needed reduce the cost of health care and to bring federal spending under control. Not so fast Mr President. Richard Foster, the chief actuary at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, a division of the Department of the Health and Human Services just released a study predicting overall spending on health care would rise by a total of $298 billion dollars over the next decade as a result of the House health care bill passed last Saturday. Additionally billions of dollars in projected savings contained in the measure will be difficult to maintain."
