Among the mainstream media, there have been sporadic, hiccup like moments when the Ministry of Propaganda lets something slip about the real truth about ObamaCare. You know the feeling, you think — “they” allowed that to be published? I do not have a list of places this has happened, it is merely my sense that it seems to be happening more. The real question is | Read More »
Well, well, well — how the tables have turned. After spending a whole article apologizing for the Obama polls, Fineman goes on to explain in detail the tactics the Dems are going to use against white male voters — attack the GOP. But then, at the end of the article, Fineman lets slip the real tactic: “The goal, if not to win over these guys, | Read More »
From the Huffington Post, with notes of betrayal: “I believe this is the moment when we must stand as one and say enough,” Service Employees International Union President Andy Stern wrote in a letter to his fellow members. While he stopped short of formally opposing the bill that is making its way through the Senate, he did express outrage over the concessions made to Sen. | Read More »
The Hill is reporting that Senator Sanders is a NO on ObamaCare: Asked by Fox Business Network’s Neil Cavuto asked Sanders if he could support the compromise bill. The senator replied “I’m struggling with this. As of this point I am not voting for the bill. And here’s why.” Sanders, who favors a single-payer healthcare system, said that he has informed the White House and | Read More »
Senator Carper (D-DE) has put a hold on Senator Dorgan’s (D-ND) drug re-importation amendment, who in turn, has objected to the Senate moving on any other health care amendments, until his pending drug re-importation amendment is voted on. Got that? It’s a Dem on Dem cage match. The Republicans, meanwhile, offered to stay in over the weekend and are now wishing they had not. NOTE | Read More »
The Speaker of the House and the President have two options right now: hold and lose the vote in the House, or wait and vote after the Senate. By my own count the Speaker and the President are light at least ten votes — and could be light as many as twenty three — depending on the dynamic on the House floor. The problem is | Read More »
I confess, it makes zero sense to me. I’ve done the math and the political calculus keeps coming back a broken equation. In general, if the strategic political forces are aligned properly, then the tactical level concerns resolve themselves. This mathematical rule in politics (it is very close to applied chaos theory) regularly produces victory for those applying the rule. There are oh so very | Read More »
While the cognoscenti of the Western financial world is attempting to spin the recent fall in the dollar as a stylish financial mystery play with a journalist based in the Middle East as its star, the Whodunit spin is a red herring: the facts are that the dollar is weak, and getting weaker. The world is awash in dollars. There is a massive oversupply. We | Read More »
The media has been using White House talking points to sell President Obama’s health reform plan, and it has had the opposite effect — polls are dropping. President Obama is worse off than GW Bush was at this point in the Bush presidency, and on health care, President Obama is sinking even faster. What the media fails to realize is that their non-critical reporting on | Read More »
