My favorite part of the speech...
...comes at the 1:15 mark. Beautiful, whoever you are.
The other thing I love is that Sarah Palin gets under this guy's skin like no other, with the possibility of Glenn Beck. The "death panel" shout out at the :26 mark is directed at the former Governor. That's okay. She has already smacked The One back.

MSNBC: Gun-Toting Protesters are 'White' Racists... Black Guy with AR-15 Edited to Conceal his Race.
Hey, if you pull the camera back, you will see that the man carrying the assault rifle is indeed, wait for it...wait for it...an African American.
NOT EVIL JUST WRONG
This looks like a great documentary. Can't wait to see it.
A couple of thoughts:
If global warming is as dire as everybody says, then why are we hellbent on reforming health care? Why isn't cap and trade what is making these town halls explode?

Calling it like he sees it
What a great article. Spot on, brother. Spot on. I especially like this quote:
...reference it here because it fits a larger and very troubling pattern about the president: The more he talks, the more he reveals himself not to understand the very subjects about which he waxes on with such seeming eloquence.

Carpe the per diem
This is the stuff I am getting sick and tired of. We have created an all powerful new class of people. Not the uber-rich...the uber-poltical. These people are so completely out of touch with normal, everyday people it makes my blood boil. They could care less about the population as a whole. When they make the rules to control the money, they are in absolute power.
How about this:
House leaders hope that dropping plans to spend $550 million on elite Gulfstream jets to fly members around the globe will dissipate public ire. I’m not so sure. Voters are strapped by the weak economy and angry about how health-care reform is being rushed through Congress. More revelations about congressional travel are coming.
In the midst of the whatever you want to call it, these people actually have the stones to even suggest buying private jets for themselves. These are the same people that literally berated automakers for flying to DC months ago in jets the auto companies already own. What the frick is going on here?
And now comes this:
Frequent flying by Congress is a growth industry. As the Journal’s Brody Mullins reported this month, House members last year spent some 3,000 days overseas on taxpayer-funded trips, up from about 550 in 1995. This month, 11 separate congressional delegations will visit Germany.
Eleven separate delegations. Put all their sorry butts in coach and stimulate the airline industry.
But get this. These guys don't even have to pay for this stuff out of their own pockets. Nope. They get a nice little bit of spending money in addition to taxpayer air travel:
They don’t have to itemize expenses—a convenient arrangement since most costs are covered by the government or local hosts. Some trips subtract some hotel and meal costs from the per diems, others do not. “The policy is completely inconsistent,” one House member told me. Total per diem allowances (per person, including staff) can top $3,000 for a single trip. Unused funds are supposed to be given back to the government, but congressional records show that rarely happens.
So basically, you go overseas on an amazing trip. You might never get to see the world were it not for the fact that you are an elected official. But to top all of the sweetness off, not only are you paid to go, all your expenses covered, you get an additional DAILY stipend of $3,000.00. Walking around money, I guess. I know of minor league baseball players that get maybe $35 a day for three meals. These guys get $3,000 and if they don't spend it, they are awesome and give it back. Wait. They keep it? You mean they could go and clip coupons and save money and pocket all the leftovers and nobody keeps tabs on that money? We have CZARS for everything now and we don't have a guy who tracks all this waste?
Vote 'em all out. Every last one of them.
