Health Care Summit

I watched most of the summit Thursday. Obvious points:

1) Obama wasn't really looking for agreement. It was just an act. Else, why would he try to refute every single one of the Republican statements, no matter how sincere, and trivialize the statements of even the most senior R leaders?

2) The most egregious D statements he let pass without comment.

3) He wound up the meeting with D only speakers, cutting the Republican leaders out of any role in ending the meeting.

This meeting was run to make O and his Democrats look good and R's look bad.

CNN vs Fox 2/27/10

My best vid picks: CNN wins.

Quote of the Day 2/24/10

At least they served beer at the last White House summit this stupid and pointless.

- Ann Coulter, talking about the Health Care Summit tomorrow.

Quote of the Day 2/20/10

But if I had a choice of the Republican Party's problems right now or the Democratic Party's problems, I think you could triple the Republican Party's problems and I'd still rather have their problems than the problems facing Democrats.

- Charles Cook, in National Journal.

Quote of the Day 2/17/10

It is a collapsed soufflé in an unused kitchen in the back of an empty house.

- Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal, writing of the demise of the Health Care Bill.

Sarah Palin and the Media

Here's a silly article from Politico titled, Why the mainstream media loves Sarah Palin.

All this research and the reporter still misses the central point: The Media don't love Sarah Palin; they love to hate her. There is a difference.

Obama on Campaign Finance

If actions speak louder than words, then Obama's actions on the issue ought to outweigh his words supporting campaign finance laws and the Supreme Court rejection of them. Why did he opt out of the campaign finance system for his Presidential campaign in 2008? If he hadn't done that, he would be in far better shape on this issue today. The problem is that everyone is wondering how sincere he is on this issue.
