A Second Wind for the 'Public Option'

The Modern Republican will fight this tooth and nail.

Of course ... most Republicans have already lost their teeth ... and their nails are fungus filled.

So ... they will probably have to resort to some kind of hyperbolic invention ... like say ... calling a private consultation with a physician ... Death Panels.

Ah ... the Modern Republican ... a vast repository of non-sequiturs and diversion.

Of course ... they do non-sequiturs and diversion better than anyone ... hey ... they even have their own network devoted to nothing else!
.

Back on track baby. Healthcare Reform with public option!...ok conservacraps get ready to have your heads explode.

yeah non-sequitars and oxymorons...like "republican plan" lol

Hey Bruce Baby,,,,,,,stand up and just tell us that you are a communist marxist reporter so we can see why you report what you do.....let's be open and honest here you jerk and stop hiding behind your reporting skills and propaganda bullcrap

THE ECONOMY IS SO BAD!"

"HOW BAD IS IT?"

The economy is so bad,
that...........................

I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

I ordered a burger at McDonalds and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can
you afford fries with that?"

CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call the
bank and ask if they meant "you" or "them".

Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.

McDonalds is now selling the 'Quarter Ouncer'.

Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their
children's names.

A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.

Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.

Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore.

The Mafia is laying off judges.

Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 congressmen.

Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh Great! The
guy who made $50 billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5
trillion disappear.

Congressmen call for official investigation of CAIR
Part of a Hamas support network in the U.S. "DOJ Should Show Congress Damning Evidence on CAIR, Reps Say," from IPT News, October 23:
Internal documents from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) show that the group actively tries to place interns in congressional offices and that the group specifically wants to influence policy coming out of committees on the judiciary, homeland security and intelligence.
These disclosures, in the book Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America, prompted four House Republicans to ask Sergeant at Arms Wilson Livingood to investigate whether CAIR has successfully placed interns in offices tied to those committees.
Disclosures in Muslim Mafia came in part from documents and undercover recordings by one of the author's sons, who posed as a Muslim and worked at CAIR as an intern under an assumed name. In addition to detailing the organization's political goals, the book offers examples of how CAIR seeks to impede terrorism-related law enforcement investigations and mislead the public about its stature.
Critics have accused the representatives of waging a witch-hunt for Muslim staffers on Capitol Hill. Their remarks, however, have focused on CAIR's role in placing interns, noting evidence from the successful prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development that placed CAIR's founders in the midst of a secret Hamas-support network in the United States.
On that point, Representatives Sue Myrick (NC) Trent Franks (AZ) Paul Broun (GA) and John Shadegg (AZ) wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder, asking that he "provide each Member of Congress a summary of the evidence and findings by the DOJ and FBI which led them to name CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism trial."
Both letters note that the HLF evidence, and the questions it raises about CAIR, prompted the FBI to cut off communication with CAIR that isn't tied to a criminal investigation....

The Obama administration has attacked Fox News in order to prevent government corruption stories broken on Fox from bleeding into the other media, which are all-consumed with daily updates on Levi Johnston's Playgirl spread and Carrie Prejean's breast implants.

Maybe Obama thought everyone in Washington would be his great friend. Having encountered un-Chicago-like dissent and disagreement, he has responded with classic Chicago brass knuckles.

First Ladies do have assistants. A history sampling with background story.
Michelle Obama: twenty-two
Laura Bush: one
Hillary Clinton : three
Jackie Kennedy : one
First Lady Requires More Than Twenty Attendants, July 7, 2009Dr. Paul L. Williams"In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much," she said. "See, that's why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, " Michelle Obama, No,
Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn't perform any official duties. But this hasn't deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession.
Just think Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary.
How things have changed!
If you're one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Ms Michelle are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q. Public:
1. $172,200 Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)
2. $140,000 Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects for the First Lady)
3. $113,000 Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary)
4. $102,000 Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the First Lady)
5. $100,000 Winter, Melissa E. (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff to the First Lady)
6. $90,000 Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
7. $84,000 Lel yveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)
8. $75,000 Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)
9. $70,000 Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Projects for the First Lady)
10. $65,000 Burnough, Erinn J. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
11. $64,000 Reinstein, Joseph B. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
12. $62,000 Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator for the First Lady)
13. $60,000 Fitts, Alan O. (Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director for the First Lady)
14. $57,500 Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)
15. $52,500 Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary to The First Lady)
16. $50,000 Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide to the First Lady)
17. $45,000 Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)
18. $43,000 Tubman, Samantha (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)
19. $40,000 Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
20. $36,000 Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)
21. $35,000 Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)
22. $35,000 Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady) (total = $1,591,200 in annual salaries)
There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense, when even;
Ø Hillary Clinton only had three;
Ø Jackie Kennedy one;
Ø Laura Bush one; and
Ø prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from the President's own pocket.
Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to Europe.

Replacing Michelle Chicago Style
Wow I want that job!!!!

Replacing Michelle

At the top right hand corner of Page 17 of the New York Post of January 24, 2009 was a short column entitled "Replacing Michelle" in the National Review "The Week" column.

Here it is, word for word, as it appeared:

”Some employees are simply irreplaceable. Take Michelle Obama: The University
of Chicago Medical center hired her in 2002 to run "programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity and minority contracting".

In 2005, the hospital raised her salary from $120,000 to $317,000--nearly twice what her husband made as a Senator..
Oh--did we mention that her husband had just become a US Senator?

He sure had, and he requested a $1 million earmark for the UC Medical Center, in fact. Way to network, Michelle!

But now that Mrs. Obama has resigned, the hospital says her position will remain unfilled. How can that be, if the work she did was vital enough to be worth
$317,000?

Let me add that Michelle's position was a part time, 20hr. a week job. And to think they were critical of Blagoyovich's wife for taking $100,000 in fuzzy real estate
commission.

My thoughts: How did this bit of quid pro quo corruption escape the sharp reporters that dug through Sarah Palin's garbage and kindergarten files? Unbelievable!

I hope this is forwarded so many times that the media will HAVE to cover it.

Why do you guys continue to tell lies or half truths...Michelle cut back her hours to part time when her husband starting campaigning for president. You make is sound like she earned $317,000 for working 20hrs a week...you tell one lie...and you lose credibility..I question anything you may say

In 2002, she began working for the University of Chicago Hospitals, first as executive director for community affairs and, beginning May 2005, as Vice President for Community and External Affairs.[40] She continued to hold the University of Chicago Hospitals position during the primary campaign, but cut back to part time in order to spend time with her daughters as well as work for her husband's election;[41] she subsequently took a leave of absence from her job.[42] According to the couple’s 2006 income tax return, her salary was $273,618 from the University of Chicago Hospitals, while her husband had a salary of $157,082 from the United States Senate. The total Obama income, however, was $991,296, which included $51,200 she earned as a member of the board of directors of TreeHouse Foods, and investments and royalties from his books.[43]
