"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care.  These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation.  Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’ ( Read more... )

Hey, all you Bitter Clingers to your guns and Bibles!  You are blocking the highway to Heaven on Earth!

We're so stupid.  We should just let powerful intellects like Obama think for us.  50 years from now, if the country survives this flirtation with Fascism, historians will go hog wild psychoanalyzing The One, and why people fell for him.  Obama ( Read more... )
