I drove past a Tea Party protest in downtown Fort Lauderdale just a few weeks prior to the passing of Obama’s health care reform bill. If I had more time, I would have stopped, crossed the picket line and engaged in a dialogue with the protesters. It’s really important to find common ground, to listen, [...]
It is highly doubtful that the unknown producers of America Rising voted for Obama. Curiously, there is no information as to who exactly are coming after the Democrats in 2010 to “take back our country.” “America Rising” makes you want to believe that the right-wing voted for Obama in 2008.

As the health care bill has now blown it’s August and December deadlines the media is decrying the expected failure of the public option, criticizing the healthcare mandate, and claiming that the Commander in Chief has broken his promise…but is the condemnation premature?

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) delivers a speech to Congress claiming Republicans want you to die quickly if you happen to get sick. Some will view this as an amen moment for Democrats, as they finally start to punch back against the Republican attack machine. Most however, will want Grayson to apologize. If the latter winds [...]
Isn’t it interesting how no provision exists in ANY of the bills floating around congress regarding health care? Yet good ol’ Rush, Sarah and Glen Beck all talk about it like it’s on the very first page? They keep on bringing up Nazi concentration camps and Hitler-like tactics like it’s happening right in front of [...]
