Students have no opinion on health careReporter's questions about major debate fall on deaf ears Molly Carpenter Issue date: 9/17/09 On Sunday night, I went to the Dean B. Ellis library in search of students who would be willing to give me a quote, or their personal opinion, on the ongoing health care reform debate that has taken hold of Washington D.C. In the wake of this national debate, there are people throughout this country who are outraged and those who are passionate about the possibilities of a government controlled health care system. In fact, it was only a few...

Congressman Spencer Bachus comments on ACORNBy Shannon Delcambre Assignment Manager Published: September 16, 2009 Press release from U.S. Rep. Spencer Bachus Office: Congressman Spencer Bachus (AL-6) Tuesday called for an end to federal funding for ACORN, a leftwing activist group linked to voter registration fraud and other criminal activity. Bachus became an original cosponsor of the Defund ACORN Act, which would eliminate all ties, including financial support, between the government and the organization. He also signed a letter to President Obama demanding a termination of taxpayer assistance to the group. Congressman Bachus said, “Taxpayer funding for ACORN’s far left agenda...

Former President Jimmy Carter has accused critics of Barack Obama of racism following an outburst by a Republican congressman. Does he have a point? BY TOM CHIVERS President Jimmy Carter says that criticism of Barack Obama shows that there is an “inherent feeling” in America that a black man should not be President. It follows the South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson shouting “you lie!” during a speech by the President to Congress.

Excerpt from Hussein's address to a joint session of Congress Wednesday, Sept. 9: Now, even if we provide these affordable options, there may be those -- especially the young and the healthy -- who still want to take the risk and go without coverage. There may still be companies that refuse to do right by their workers by giving them coverage. The problem is, such irresponsible behavior costs all the rest of us money. If there are affordable options and people still don't sign up for health insurance, it means we pay for these people's expensive emergency room visits. If...

NYC Seniors Not Buying Obama Health Reform SpeechMany Tell CBS 2 HD They Are Fine With The Coverage They Have; Others Vow To Never Vote For President Again Reporting Marcia Kramer Sep 10, 2009 8:37 pm US/Eastern NEW YORK (CBS) - During his speech Wednesday night President Barack Obama tried to re-assure senior citizens that their Medicare coverage would be preserved. But some seniors here in New York are still skeptical. The people at the Northeast Bronx Senior Center heard what Obama had to say about health care reform and trying to preserve their Medicare coverage. "The only thing this...

Obama tries to build momentum for health overhaulObama will push for new and crucial protections for people who already have insurance JENNIFER LOVEN AP White House Correspondent WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will tell the nation in a prime-time address precisely how he wants to expand health care, pitching a fresh argument — but, to liberal disappointment, no demand — for a government-run insurance option. "The president's going to speak clearly and directly to the American people about what's in this bill for them," press secretary Robert Gibbs said Wednesday, hours before Obama appeared before a rare joint session of...

I make no determination of the validity of the so-called ebay birth certificate that purports to show Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya. Jerome Corsi has concluded that the document is likely a forgery at this article though: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108773 While this may end up being proven upon closer examination of the claimed document, the reasons Corsi has listed for making this determination are factually flawed and need to be reexamined. OBJECTION: The Ebay certificate identifies the hospital as "Coast Province General Hospital." Corsi considers this suspicious, because it is usually referred to as "Coast Provincial" in Kenya. TRUTH: "Coast Province...

I do not purport to take a stance on the Obama birth certificate controversy, save to say that his refusal to release the full document is suspicious. I do take issue with falsehoods being put up in Obama's defense though. One of those falsehoods is currently being used to "debunk" the rumor that Obama was born in Mombassa, Kenya instead of Hawaii. The false claim is that Mombassa was part of Zanzibar in 1961 when Obama was born, and it is being repeated without scrutiny by the slothful mainstream media. As with so many things about Obama, this claim is...

They're all over him -- swarms, flocks, flights of critics taking apart President Obama: his style, his motives, his modus operandi, assuming he has one. Charles Krauthammer, in a dead-on column, called him "Obama the Mortal." Peggy Noonan, in the Wall Street Journal, sought to close the deal: "Obama has grown boring ... He always has the same stance. There is no humor or humility in it ... He is cold ..." Cries of alarm escaped the mouth of Time Magazine's Joe Klein: "He has to lead, clearly and decisively, starting now." How's he going to restore his sagging popularity...

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Tuesday praised American Muslims for enriching the nation's culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. "The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country," Obama said at the iftar, the dinner that breaks the holiday's daily fast. The president joined Cabinet secretaries, members of the diplomatic corps and lawmakers to pay tribute to what he called "a great religion and its commitment to justice and progress."

Washington, D.C. (AHN) - Back in Washington but still with a light schedule, President Barack Obama hosts a dinner Tuesday to mark Ramadan, the ninth month in the Islamic calendar during which the Koran is believed to have been first revealed. In the event set for 8:00 pm ET at the State Dining Room of the White House, Obama will continue his outreach efforts to the world's 1.5 billion Muslims as well as highlight the contributions of American Muslims. The President returned to the White House on Sunday, after a week-long family vacation at Martha's Vineyard that was interrupted by...

Castro: No win against TalibanPublished on: 8/26/2009 HAVANA - Cuba's Fidel Castro is criticising President Barack Obama's stepped-up United States' war in Afghanistan while backing Obama's effort to provide health care coverage for all Americans. The former Cuban president said in an essay published yesterday that he hadn't the slightest doubt that "the racist right" would do anything to stop Obama from succeeding domestically. Castro's remarks appeared on the Cubadebate website, which publishes his frequent essays on global affairs. He formally stepped down as Cuba's president in February 2008 after handing over to his brother Raul. "The strategy of withdrawing...

CIA agents threatened to kill the children of a terror suspect in an attempt to make him talk, a report into prisoner abuse has revealed. The document, compiled by the agency's inspector general in 2004, could lead to criminal charges against interrogators, with the US attorney general reportedly having already lined up a senior prosecutor to investigate claims of mistreatment. The disclosure came as President Barack Obama gave his approval to a new interrogation unit to be supervised by the White House, marking a move away from the Bush-era policy of giving the CIA the lead when it comes to...

WASHINGTON -- Attorney General Eric Holder named federal prosecutor John Durham to investigate alleged CIA mistreatment of terrorism suspects overseas during the Bush administration. Mr. Durham is currently investigating the destruction of videotapes made of certain CIA interrogations of detainees. He will now also be tasked with probing whether CIA officers or contractors broke any laws with their use of harsh tactics. The decision comes on the day the Justice Department released a long-awaited report from the Central Intelligence Agency's inspector general, as well as several hundred pages of additional documents on the CIA's interrogation program. The report says one...

British health care found lackingCAL THOMAS Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2009 PORTADOWN, NORTHERN IRELAND - For the past month I have watched British media report and comment on the American health care uproar. American cable networks are also available here. The back-and-forth reporting and commentary resembles a replay of the War of 1812, this time with verbal salvos. Conservative American politicians and commentators fire at the British NHS system and the British fire back, sometimes on the same program, repeating the Democrats' mantra of how 47 million Americans are "uninsured" and how medical treatment in the United States depends on how...

Analysis: Critics co-opt Obama organizing playbookBy LIZ SIDOTI (AP) – 1 day ago WASHINGTON — There's a certain irony here. The 20th century community organizer who used 21st century tools for his people-powered White House campaign now finds himself besieged by citizens airing their grievances at 19th century-inspired town hall style meetings. Barack Obama's top legislative goal hangs in the balance and his popularity is suffering as critics co-opt his tech-savvy organizing methods, tag him as a boogyman and disrupt local gatherings on his proposed health care overhaul. Is the groundbreaking campaigner, whose White House political arm is aptly called...

Budget Update Delayed, Health Care Plan on Back BurnerBy Christine Lin Epoch Times Staff Jul 20, 2009 By now, the nation should have received the national budget forecast for next year, but The White House has delayed the announcement until mid-August. Some analysts speculate that the release of a less-than-optimistic budget update will put a hitch in President Obama's plans to reform the nation's $2.5 trillion health industry by August. House Democrats are currently pushing for votes to pass the reform. Obama also has a global warming bill that he is trying to convince legislators to support—if the budget update...

The Thursday wrapThursday, August 6, 2009 Spendaholic Barack: CBS News reports that "so rapid is the pace of deficit spending by the federal government that the national debt has increased (by more than) a trillion dollars since President Obama took office." To put this in perspective, that's a $1 trillion-plus increase in just under seven months. The deficit increased under George W. Bush by $4.9 trillion in eight years. You do the math. Then cringe. Confessions of an architect: You probably never heard of Claude Castonguay. He's the fella who designed Canada's government-run health care program. And it's a monumental...
