From the White House Blog:
The Health Reform Rumor Mill Targets Nebraskans
Posted by Dan Pfeiffer on December 15, 2009 at 06:31 PM EST
Proving that they will leave no stone unturned in their efforts to undermine health reform, some blogs opposing reform are now trafficking an absurd rumor that Nebraska’s Offutt Air Force Base is being threatened over Senator Ben Nelson’s vote on the Senate reform bill.
To be perfectly clear: these rumors are completely baseless and false.
Thanks for your time.

“”Now Kimberly, that is the President I cast my vote for with all my intelligence, love, and hope for a great future. He does not have an easy job, as we can see how dumbed down, and polarizing our media is and are most of our citizens. But I am certain MOST will catch up with Obama’s intelligence and enlightment in due time. The road is long, but we will not get weary. I am proud he is our Commander in Chief, as he is our Educator in Chief.””
Sigh... it’s not that anyone opposes reform, but we do oppose their efforts which masquerade as reform.
