"Words that make actions speak louder."
The reviews of President Obama’s health care speech before a joint session of Congress have been fairly glowing. Most agree that the President made a strong case for health insurance reform and did a good job of explaining why the public option is important, even if he stopped short of refusing to sign a bill […]
I wrote last week about the absolutely shameful, shocking and appalling attacks from conservatives against President Obama in response to his plans to give students a back to school pep talk about the importance of education. I wrote at the time that the level of paranoia and vitriol was all the more amazing given the […]
Well the reviews are already in on Obama’s big speech on “the importance of education”, and they aren’t pretty. The descriptions range from “brainwashing” and “indoctrination of your children” to accusations that Obama’s speech shows that he is actually Mao, Hitler, Mussolini, and of course, a terrorist.

It comes as just the latest sign that in the 21st Century we are moving toward an overwhelming pro-choice consensus in this country. I’m pleased to announce that on Tuesday, right-wing hardliner Michele Bachmann […]
Almost as telling as the fact that a whopping 62% of Republicans think the federal government should stay out of Medicare is the following vignette. First, let’s make sure everyone is up to speed on the so-called “PhRMA Deal”, which was essentially a detente agreement between the White House and the pharmaceutical industry. The gist […]
Wow. I just saw new national survey from Public Policy Polling (h/t TPM) that seriously has me floored (and by “floored” I mean on the floor laughing). It highlights, in a very stark manner, how unbelievably ignorant conservatives are when it comes to health care. Are you sitting down? Good. Here you go: 62% of […]
