Reality Check: The "Rationing" Smear... Again?Posted by Dan Pfeiffer November 20, 2009 at 03:03 PM EST When people use arguments they know are bogus, it's probably because they know they don't have any valid arguments at their disposal. So it would seem with opponents of reform in the Senate spending today obsessed with arguments about "rationing" that were debunked months ago. Their attacks are focused on the fact that the legislation supports research into what treatments work best for patients. Before we go any further, let's just say this as plainly as possible: Under health insurance reform, this research cannot...

Ill. town would rather get Gitmo prisonersBy Deanna Bellandi, Associated Press Writer – 42 mins ago THOMSON, Ill. – Some folks in this dying Mississippi River town would rather take their chances with suspected terrorists in their backyard than watch their neighbors continue to move away in despair over the lack of jobs. **SNIP** "This town is slowly but surely dying off, and I mean that literally because the people that are retired are dying off and there's no young people coming back in to take their place. There's nothing here to draw them," said Richard Groharing, a 68-year-old retired...

Obama willing to go to Copenhagen for climate dealBy: Associated Press Monday, Nov. 9, 2009 WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Monday that he’d be willing to attend an international climate summit in Copenhagen next month if it appears a deal is in the offing and his presence there would help clinch it. Nations are preparing to meet in Denmark to hammer out a new international treaty to slow climate change, but the talks have been hampered by disputes between rich countries and developing ones. “If I am confident that all of the countries involved are bargaining in good faith...

Memo to ABC: There's a Reason He's Not Called Smith By C. Edmund Wright Diane Sawyer - either espousing her editorial fantasy or a quoting a third hand comment from an anonymous "military wife" -- was dreadfully upset that the mass murderer from Fort Hood was not named Smith. One can only imagine how thrilled she'd have been had he been named something like, oh I don't know, Palin. From what I can deduce, had his name been Smith it would be much easier for the Diane Sawyers of the Jurassic media to cover up what they fear really went...

I got caught up in some traffic on I-66W and I tuned in to WTOP for a traffic report. Instead, WTOP reporter Nathan Roberts was talking to some General who kept referring to sailors in the Coast Guard as "Coast Guarders". Nathan Roberts was clearly trying to convince everyone that not only was Hasan's religion not a factor, but also it wasn't even certain that he was the shooter since he stressed that Hasan was only the "alleged" shooter.

It's not just that she's been whittled down by the Obama White House, where there can be only one One. **SNIP** She was asked if it's true she is a hawk on Afghanistan. "No, I don't think so," she responded, rejecting labels without saying anything meaningful about our policy in a country where we have 68,000 troops and the debate is whether to send more.

$1.4 Trillion Deficit Complicates Stimulus PlansBy JACKIE CALMES Published: October 16, 2009 WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Friday that the federal budget deficit for the fiscal year that just ended was $1.4 trillion, nearly a trillion dollars greater than the year before and the largest shortfall relative to the size of the economy since 1945. The number, while lower than forecast a few months ago, underscored the challenges ahead in shrinking the deficit even as the White House and Congress are considering more steps to stimulate an economy that is making a slow recovery. The political hurdles to finding...

Even before Air Force One landed, hundreds were lined up at UNO for the town hall at the school’s 1,500-seat fitness center. About 150 demonstrators were ushered behind barricades about 400 yards away.

INTERVIEW-Kerry wary of sending more US troops to AfghanistanSource: Reuters By Simon Denyer and Thomas Ferraro 13 Oct 2009 22:24:08 GMT WASHINGTON, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, who will travel to Afghanistan and Pakistan this week, said on Tuesday he was "very wary" of sending more American troops to the region. Minutes after getting off the phone to President Barack Obama about the issue, Kerry said neither of the two extremes -- a nationwide counterinsurgency and nation-building effort in Afghanistan nor "walking away from the place" -- were do-able. "The key in Afghanistan is...

Russ Feingold Takes On "Czars": A Plea For A More Civil Discourse?Posted by Michael Scherer Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 10:35 am At 1:30 p.m. today, in Room 226 of the Dirksen Building, Senator Russ Feingold, D-Wisc., will hold a hearing on the "History and Legality of Executive Branch Czars." Since Feingold is a liberal Democrat, this raises eyebrows. Why would Feingold embrace a topic--so often distorted and misunderstood--that has been the purview of Fox News and sundry other detractors of President Obama? The answer may be as simple as: Feingold believes we are better than all that. To explain...

Uninvited guest crashes president's partyBy Bennett Hall, Gazette-Times reporter Monday, October 5, 2009 5:15 pm President Barack Obama assembled more than 100 doctors outside the White House Monday morning to enlist the medical profession's backing for his proposed health care reforms. But at least one attending physician was there to express a dissenting opinion. Dr. Paul Hochfeld crashed the Rose Garden party in hopes of bending the president's ear. The Corvallis emergency room physician has spent most of the past month on a national tour with an Oregon group called the Mad As Hell Doctors to promote single-payer medical coverage....

Obama decision on Afghanistan strategy due in 'a matter of weeks,' says JonesBy Michael O'Brien 10/04/09 10:58 AM ET President Barack Obama will make a decision on how to proceed in Afghanistan in "a matter of weeks," his national security advisor said Sunday. Retired Gen. James L.
