Headline idea from Chris Faulkner on Twitter.

Via Politico

Hours after POLITICO posted results of a poll showing a possible backlash by Indiana Dems, Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) backed off of previous statement saying he was considering siding with the GOP on a public option filibuster.

Freakin’ amazing.

Republican Study Committee members have introduced over 40 health care bills so far in the 111th Congress.

Care to take a guess at how many of the bills presented by republicans Speaker Pelosi and the Democrat majority have considered in committee or on the House floor?

Earlier this week we reported that Michael Moore is threatening Blue Dog Democrats.

Moore: “To the Democrats in Congress who don’t quite get it: I want to offer a personal pledge. I – and a lot of other people – have every intention of removing you from Congress in the next election if you stand in the way of health care legislation that the people want. That is not a hollow or idle threat. We will come to your district and we will work against you, first in the primary and, if we have to, in the general election.”

We now have a video, from our new Friends at Newsy.com, after the leap.

This is beyond belief. Now Obama has replaced the “Lord’s Prayer.”

It’s a meeting held by the Gamaliel Foundation which has direct ties to Obama during his years as a community organizer and Illinois Senator. The video is after the leap.

Gamaliel’s has ties to ACORN and the Woods Fund, and it’s a tangled web. Obama was initially an advisor to Woods Fund, later becoming a board member and eventually, board chairman. He was instrumental in expanding the Woods Fund’s financial support for Gamaliel and ACORN. Another member of Woods Fund at the time was Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi, a former spokesman for Yasser Arafat. Khalidi and Obama became close, to the point Obama would spend time at their home enjoying meals cooked by Khalidi’s wife, Mona.

For those short of memory, nine years ago this month Arafat launched the Oslo War, or Second Intifada against Israel which killed more than 1,000 Jews. It’s no wonder that Obama feels he can dictate terms to Israel, given the mentoring he obviously received from Khalidi.

Another Woods Fund board member during this time was the murderous terrorist Bill Ayers. I’m just saying..

From Politico

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.

Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead. He signed it “Sincerely, Thomas A. Barthold.”

To hell in a handbasket.

I wonder if Obamacare would cover this “penis” incident?

FWIW, the guy in the hat was calling Obama a liar.

One more thing. Remember earlier this week when Obama said his health care plan won’t cover illegal aliens?

Now he says:

“Even though I do not believe we can extend coverage to those who are here illegally, I also don’t simply believe we can simply ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken,” Mr. Obama said Wednesday evening in a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. “That’s why I strongly support making sure folks who are here legally have access to affordable, quality health insurance under this plan, just like everybody else.

Mr. Obama added, “If anything, this debate underscores the necessity of passing comprehensive immigration reform and resolving the issue of 12 million undocumented people living and working in this country once and for all.”

Translation: he wants to give amnesty to the 12 million illegal aliens so they can not only get government provided healthcare, but also, so they can vote for him in 2012.

“It’s worth noting that a strong majority of Americans still favor a public insurance option of the sort I’ve proposed tonight. But its impact shouldn’t be exaggerated — by the left, the right, or the media. It is only one part of my plan, and shouldn’t be used as a handy excuse for the usual Washington ideological battles,” Obama said.

No, the majority doesn’t support a public option. What has this guy been reading?

Obama also said he backs health insurance mandates, saying Americans should be required to get health insurance just like they’re required to have auto insurance. Big flip-flop since he was opposed to this during presidential campaign last year.
