The Obama Family wages war: On health care, Prez tries to make us an offer we can't refuse

Obama may end up having the shelflife of a shooting star.

While sputtering like a cheap firecracker.

"...the opening scene of the first Godfather where the caretaker comes in and, you know, Marlon Brando is sitting there and he's saying, 'You disrespected me, you know, and now you want a favor.'

So it's not a "Death Panel", it's a "Caretaker Panel".

It’ll be a long time before we see another black president.

If Obama insists on the Corleones as a metaphor, we need to start referring to him as Fredo. What a putz.

Michael Goodwin is on Fox News quite often. He is a liberal but at least he isn’t a mean liberal and he is not stupid.

Michael Goodwin strikes me as an honest liberal, if that's not an oxymoron.

I’m shocked to see this coming from the NY Daily News

Drowning in debt: Obama's spending and borrowing leaves U.S. gasping for air by Mort Zuckerman, no less

It has occasional glimmers of sanity.

Or even an almost-half-black one.

Thanks neverdem.

...this is Barack Obama and his favorite movie is - I'm not making this up - "The Godfather," ...With his charge that critics of his health care overhaul are "bearing false witness," the holy roller President has declared war on the GOP... Republicans don't have the votes in Congress to block anything, so they can't possibly be the sticking point. Democrats have huge majorities in both houses, but it is centrists and conservative Dems blocking the health bills.

There will be even more Blue Dogs in the next Congress.
