Senate committee approves health care plan
WASHINGTON – With support from a lone Republican, a key Senate committee Tuesday approved a middle-of-the-road health care plan that moves President Barack Obama's goal of wider and affordable coverage a giant step closer to becoming law.
Maine Republican Olympia Snowe said she was laying aside misgivings for now and voting to advance the bill, a sweeping $829-billon, 10-year health care remake that would help most Americans get coverage without creating a new government insurance plan. "When history calls, history calls," said Snowe.

Any Maine voters here care to explain why no one constests Senator Olympia Snowe's monopoly on that Senate seat from Maine? Snowe's been there forever and is now a Washington perennial insider. Hardly representative of a new generation of Maine voters.

He let slip the mask and showed the true face of compassionate, nonpartisan "liberalism".
I think he's one of the True Believers that the Powers That Be find useful.
It's a war to him, the enemy is evil, and killing the enemy earns him rewards.

Liberals sure can't stand the heat, though they wanted to be in the White House.

Great graphic. Small nit to pick, but when I mean to type C-squared, which is what we are, the type limitations give me C2, but with all your graphics-fu shouldn't it be called the C with a tiny upper 2 since there's no C1?
ReplyDeleteI know we're supposed to not talk about "the other blog" here, but when "the other blog's" host posted those blatantly false Limbaugh "quotes" as facts on his website, that was my breaking point for his blog. I knew I couldn't trust what he was saying anymore.
ReplyDeleteObama and Israel: Betrayal in the Broken Places
ReplyDelete"For a politician, there is no more dangerous combination of traits than hubris and ineptitude. In a friendly environment, the detrimental effects of these flaws can be staved off, for a time, by talented spin doctors, a sympathetic press, or the enthusiasm of one’s followers. In the maelstrom of Middle East politics, however, they tend to be almost immediately apparent, and the resulting fall from grace is often precipitous. President Barack Obama, who appears to possess both traits in unique abundance, has had to find this out the hard way; and whether he has learned his lesson or not remains to be seen.
...There are probably two main reasons for the early collapse of the Obama administration’s ambitions in the Middle East; one regarding Israel and one regarding Obama himself. In regard to Israel, Obama failed because of his inability to grasp Israel’s attitude toward the peace process in the post-Oslo era. The trauma that Oslo represents for Israel is difficult to fully convey to foreigners. It was both the first peace agreement that failed and the first time Israel gambled on peace and lost. For nearly a decade, Israel struggled through political division, assassination, terrorism, and potential civil war, only to see it all end with the most brutal terrorist war it had ever encountered. Even more traumatizing, perhaps, was the reaction of the rest of the world. Throughout the Oslo process, Israel believed that it was taking an enormous chance for peace, and that the world would acknowledge and understand this if the process failed. This faith was most fervently expressed at the 2000 Camp David negotiations, where Ehud Barak made an offer to Yasser Arafat that crossed many of Israel’s previous red lines in regard to Jerusalem, territorial concessions, and holy sites. When Arafat turned it down, and the second intifada began shortly afterward, most Israelis felt that their efforts for peace and the dangerous position they had put themselves in would at least be acknowledged by others. Precisely the opposite happened. Condemnation of Israel was more violent than it had ever been in the past, and a worldwide outbreak of anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic sentiment followed. As a result of all this, Israelis looking back on Oslo feel, more than anything else, betrayed. They have lost their faith and trust in the Arabs, in the international community, and to a great extent in the peace process in general. While they are still willing to negotiate and make concessions, they feel that they should not be asked to take an Oslo-sized gamble again."
Must read article of the day.

ReplyDeleteGood to see you as well SBS. I recently took a cool hike through the Kettles and Moraines of Southeast Wisconsin (a few miles of The Ice Age Trail - 1300 mile trail in Wisconsin) hoping to get some shots like yours.

Chris Matthews is a former staffer for Tip O'Neill, and a former speechwriter for President Jimmy Carter.
ReplyDeleteMatthews helped write the Carter "Malaise" speech blaming Americans instead of himself for having sunk America's standing in the world out of weakness & smug Presidential speechifying against America.
Matthews' liberal policies helped Carter elect Ronald Reagan as his overdue replacement and antidote for liberal doom & gloom.

ReplyDeleteturn, to answer your question from downstairs: I think she's going to continue working on her comedy. She had this incredible glow and confidence afterward. She told us there is NOTHING better than making people laugh and she wants to keep doing it. It's probably too soon to tell, and you're talking to a highly biased source, but she got a good response from the audience last night. I think if she works hard she could make something of it.
ReplyDeleteSo Snowe caved and finally made a Spector of herself.
ReplyDeleteCan we just take the R from her ?
Please ?

Despite an international chorus of "Whys?"
You've achieved nothing to earn the Nobel Prize
There's no sense to it, but you're lionized
