Well lookie here. Two retiring Tennessee Democrats who suddenly will vote for ObamaCARE are getting cushy government jobs after they retire from the House. According to Human Events, Rep. Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.) has been promised the job of NASA administrator in exchange for his vote, and Rep. John Tanner (D-Tenn.), another retiring Democrat, has been promised an appointment as U.S. Ambassador to NATO in exchange for his vote!
Fired Rhode Island Teacher hangs effigy of Obama in a classroom
Imagine for a second if a teaparty member had done this, or a conservative. There would be news bulletins, cries of racism, etc. Yet an obvious left wing nut and failure of a teacher in Rhode Island who was fired for lousy student performance decided to hang an effigy of Obama in his classroom, apparently in reaction to Obama’s support of extreme measures to ensure accountability in schools. I’m sure eventually some in the lame stream media will somehow find a way to tie this to tea party members too. Surely this is pure racism isn’t it?

ABC News paid baby killer tot mom Casey Anthony $200,000!
Why am I not surprised? A filthy progressive/liberal network like ABC paid baby murderer, tot mom Casey Anthony a whopping $200,000 according to Fox News!

Virginia Democrat Congressman Tom Perriello Admits Congressional Stealing! “If you don’t tie our hands, we will keep stealing”
Democrat Tom Perriello’s “shocking” admission isn’t really that shocking. People all around the country knows Congress is a bunch of thieves. The fact that Perriello actually slipped up and admitted it though is shocking.
“If you don’t tie our hands, we will keep stealing”
Democrat Rep Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts now a NO vote for ObamaCARE for now
Dem Rep Stephen Lynch of MA is now opposed to the health care overhaul legislation, according to GretaWire. Lynch however is a far left loon, in the model of Dennis Kucinich. Lynch doesn’t view the Senate bill as reform and isn’t confident that the Senate will rake up the reconciliation pkg “we have about 290 bills on the pile over there…” Lynch however is meeting with Obama this afternoon so he might be open to convincing still. Expect a lot of fingering, tickling, arm twisting, and god knows what else.
Democrats endorse Slaughter Solution, defeat GOP effort to force separate vote on Senate health bill
Get the popcorn ready for the weekend folks. Today, Democrats shot down a Republican effort to force an up-or-down vote on the Senate health care bill, according to The Hill. In a 222-203 vote, Democrats beat back a GOP resolution offered by Democrat-turned-Republican Rep. Parker Griffith (Ala.) that would have forced lawmakers to vote on the Senate health care bill separately from the series of fixes they hope to make to that legislation. All Republican lawmakers who voted opposed the measure, which had the effect of ending the GOP’s effort to force a vote. They were joined by 28 Democrats, who broke with party members on the vote.

Yesterday was the first time since the marxist became President that a Gallup poll had Obama with a higher disapproval rating than approval. Today, the gap widens. The latest Gallup poll has Omarxist at 46% and 48% disapproval!
US may be seeking Israel ‘regime change’
I don’t know who the f*ck Obama thinks he is, but apparently at least according to this AFP story, the Obama administration’s row with Israel over settlements has prompted some analysts to wonder whether it seeks “regime change,” a new government that can make peace with the Palestinians. However, the analysts doubt that President Barack Obama’s administration, which has made Arab-Israeli peace a national security priority, will achieve anything if it has indeed adopted such a strategy.

Moron Joe Biden blesses ‘late mother’ of Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen who is still alive
Another day, another embarrassment of this country by Joe Biden. The idiot Joe Biden who makes Dan Quayle look like a brain surgeon asked for God’s blessing for the late mother of Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen during a White House celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. There’s one big problem though. Cowen’s mother is much is still very much alive, and well. Biden also took another crack at Sarah Palin and her “hand notes” among other tasteless jokes he told.
“God rest her soul,” Biden said Wednesday night as he introduced Cowen and President Barack Obama. He quickly caught himself and noted that it’s Cowen’s father who is no longer living. Of the prime minister’s mother, Biden said, “God bless her soul.”
Video: Obama gets destroyed by Bret Baier
If Obama was hoping to help himself out with his appearance on Fox News to pitch ObamaCARE to an actual audience of people, and not a couple dozen far left loons who watch other networks such as NBC, CBS, ABC, or CNN, he was an epic failure. Unlike the softball interview O’Reilly conducted with Obama in 2008, Bret Baier actually challenged Obama on the issues, the corruption, and the “Slaughter Solution”. Unsurprisingly Obama was arrogant, condescending, and the interview was contentious. Oh BTW, did you know there is a special deal in the ObamaCARE bill for Hawaii like Louisiana? I didn’t either. The excuse Obama gave was because of the “earthquake” that hit Hawaii. What earthquake hit Hawaii?

If ObamaCARE passes physicians’ fees will be cut 21 percent and hospital reimbursements for Medicare patients will be cut by $1.3 billion
According to Dick Morris, if the House Democratic majority passes Obama’s health care proposals, one of two things will happen by Election Day, 2010 – and neither one will be healthy for the Democrats seeking re-election. Either the Medicare cuts will take effect or they will be postponed by a terrified Congress.
Obama interview on Fox News with Bret Baier: I’m not concerned with procedural rules in the House or Senate
The “much anticipated” interview of Obama on Fox News with Bret Baier is coming up at 6pm EDT. At the time of this posting, its rumored the interview was contentious. Greta Van Susteren tweeted this earlier:
Pres Obama just said Bret keeps interrupting him…..Bret says he does not answer the question ..you need 2 C ths 2nite at 6p/Special Report
On the FoxNews.com, they report the arrogant Marxist actually told Baier:
“I don’t spend a lot of time worrying about what the procedural rules are in the House or Senate,”
House GOP Leaders to Force Vote Tomorrow on Measure Blocking “Slaughter Solution” House GOP Leaders to Force Vote Tomorrow on Measure Blocking “Slaughter Solution”
From Boehner’s website:
Washington, Mar 17 -House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) announced that House Republicans will force a vote tomorrow on a resolution requiring a clean, up-or-down vote on the Senate-passed health care bill. If adopted by the House, the resolution would prohibit Speaker Pelosi and Democratic Leaders from implementing the “Slaughter Solution,” the controversial scheme by which the Senate health care bill would be deemed as passed by the House without an actual up-or-down vote.
“The ‘Slaughter Solution’ has sparked widespread outrage because it’s designed to protect Washington politicians when it’s American taxpayers we should be looking out for,” Boehner said. “Speaker Pelosi and Democratic Leaders, who promised to lead the ‘most open’ Congress in history, thought they could pull a fast one on the American people, but they were wrong. This vote will give Democrats an opportunity to demonstrate whether they share Republicans’ commitment to ensuring the American people get what they deserve: a clean, up-or-down vote on the Senate health care bill. The stakes are too high, and this bill is too controversial, for anything less than total accountability.”House Republicans will offer the text of the resolution as the “PQ” (“previous question”) for the suspension authority rule that is expected to be considered on the floor Thursday. The text of the resolution, introduced by Rep. Parker Griffith (R-AL) – a former Democrat who switched to the GOP in December out of disgust with Washington Democrats’ government takeover of health care – is available here.
Another pro-life Democrat caves – Minnesota Rep James Oberstar to vote yes on ObamaCARE
Just further proving my point about Democrats, and especially “pro-life” Democrats, Minnesota Rep James Oberstar will vote yes for ObamaCARE. Of course, being that this loser is from Minnesota, a state that elected Jesse Ventura as Governor and the clown Al Franken as Senator, it comes as even less of a surprise. This comes on the heels of flaming progressive liberal Dennis Kucinich’s announcement today that he will be voting yes as well on ObamaCARE (He was a safe ‘no’ vote in November, probably unless he was needed for 218 back then.) Politico Oberstar said:
“I wanted to see the language, understand it better, have conversations with Sen. Nelson,” Oberstar said Wednesday. “On balance, it does what we need to do.”
Obama’s approval on Gallup hits negative terrority. 46% approval 47% disapproval
