Obama's radical choice causes commotion

The Obama administration has nominated yet another controversial individual.

Activist attorney Chai Feldblum has been nominated to fill a position on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Her nomination caught the attention of the Traditional Values Coalition. TVC executive director Andrea Lafferty explains why her organization is concerned.

 
"[Feldblum] signed onto a statement called 'Beyond Marriage,' and it's a radical statement that some people have inaccurately described... as supporting polygamy," says Latterty. "It is not polygamy that she supports, but polyamory."
 Polyamory is the practice of having more than one conjugal partner in a relationship of any makeup.

(Those of you who say Obama isn't part of the radical left  explain why he keeps naming radicals to his team. Read more on this issue  right here.)

Holder's terror trial response 'breathtaking'

That is how one legal expert is describing a recent exchange between a Republican senator and the U.S. attorney general regarding the prosecution of suspected terrorists.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) in a Judiciary Committee hearing last week asked Attorney General Eric Holder a question that the nation's top cop could not answer. Graham asked: "Can you give me a case in United States history where a[n] enemy combatant caught on a battlefield was tried in civilian court?" (Holder's terror trial response 'breathtaking'  )

(So the nation's top attorney can't answer a question about the history of this nation. It looks like Obama and his team doesn't care about the history of our nation instead their focus is on making history and not all history which is made is good.)

Splits widen for Democrats over health reform

President Barack Obama’s mission to reform US healthcare vaulted another legislative hurdle over the weekend, but the scramble to secure his own party’s votes sheds light on the messy compromises that may be needed to get it to the finish line.

Fissures between liberal and centrist Democrats cracked open on Sunday in the aftermath of a procedural vote, which paved the way for the estimated $848bn (€570bn, £514bn) draft Senate bill to be debated on the floor. Leaders hope there will be a vote on the bill by Christmas. If passed, the House and Senate versions will have to be mashed together.

Ben Nelson: 'When I saw the bill I said: 'This can be amended''

In what wags have already dubbed the “Louisiana Purchase”, Mary Landrieu was offered at least $100m in extra federal money for her state. Ben Nelson won the omission of a provision that would strip health insurers of their anti-trust exemption. Blanche Lincoln won more time.

(OK  so Ben Nelson  wants to change this bill but he voted for the bill which he doesn't agree with on Saturday night. As a tax payer and voter from Ben Nelson's state I will not forget how he voted this last Saturday night. He can no longer call himself pro life. He also voted for taxes to go up. The Omaha news paper in an editorial said this. "Sen. Ben Nelson, one of the most closely watched swing votes, should vote no. Why? Because Reid’s proposal, like that approved in the U.S. House, would place immense burdens on small and medium-sized rural hospitals in the Mid­lands. It would not prevent further steep increases in health care costs.It would, however, shunt billions in new costs onto state governments. And its budget savings at the fed­eral level depend on empty, misleading promises of fiscal discipline that Congress has shown it’s utterly incapable of fulfilling. If anyone doubts the threat to Nebraska, especially its rural areas, remember that it was Reid himself who tried to get a side deal to hold his own state of Nevada harmless from the increased Medicaid ex­penses that would raise costs steeply for state gov­ernments — and thus state taxpayers.Those considerations need to occupy the very fore­front of Sen. Nelson’s thinking as he ponders how to vote on the proposal. Is he more worried about making sure that the vital interests of Nebraska are protected, or about pleasing Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi? Well Sen. Nelson  along with all the other Democrats told us by their vote what matter most to them and it wasn't  the people who put them in office.

POLL: Support for Health Care Plan Falls to New Low...

Just 38% of voters now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the lowest level of support measured for the plan in nearly two dozen tracking polls conducted since June.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% now oppose the plan.

Half the survey was conducted before the Senate voted late Saturday to begin debate on its version of the legislation. Support for the plan was slightly lower in the half of the survey conducted after the Senate vote. (POLL: Support for Health Care Plan Falls to New Low...  )

(Every Democrat Sen. with their vote on health care Saturday night gave a political slap in the face to the American voters and tax payers. I hope all of us who are against forced government health care will not forget what happen Saturday night at the next election. )
