Is Joe Wilson the new Carrie Prejean:Or, Do the President?s Words Mean Noth
2009-09-13 13:28:00 Unlike some conservatives, I did not celebrate South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson’s outburst on the House floor, crying, “You Lie!” while the President delivered his health care address. While I share his opinion about the President’s dishonesty (as does apparently the White House), I don’t think it appropriate for a Member of Congress (or any ...

You have a message from the President (video)
2009-09-13 03:05:00 This arrived in my Inbox and it's got your name on it, too.It's about Health Care/Insurance Reform, as you guessed.And to answer TC's query as to why Joe Wilson's outburst, "You Lie!" has not been mentioned on Stars Over Washington, it's for two reasons: 1. his rudeness is a distraction from the real issues and I don't like to promote the GOP, the party that lied us into the Iraq invasion, but is against health care for all Americans; 2. Rep. Wilson misspoke, as they love to say in Politics: he should have said, "We Lie!"Now that would be a very basic truth worth paying close attention to.

2009-09-10 18:00:00 But, the president can't act as if only those criticizing his plan are contributing to the disdain Americans have toward government. He -- and his allies-- have contributed to the growing anti-government sentiment far more than any of his political adversaries. They didn't create that disdain. They tapped into it.

The President on Health Care Reform
2009-09-10 16:19:00 In a nutshell, here are the President?s goals for health care reform: [C]onsumer protections for those with insurance; an exchange that allows individuals and small businesses to purchase affordable coverage; and a requirement that people who can afford insurance get insurance.

Shouldn't The President Be As Wired As He Wants To Be?
2009-01-14 02:35:00 I've been following the drama about whether nearly-president-now Barack Obama will be allowed to keep his Blackberry. With disgust. I'm disgusted because here, for once, is a president who doesn't want to be kept in a bubble - and our executive system is giving him such flack about it! I don't know about anybody else, but I want the Chief Executive of my country to have as much access to information technology as possible. I think he should not only have a Blackberry, but a smartphone and a laptop 24/7. I think he should have unfettered access to the Internet in whatever way he wants. I think he should be able to browse Technoratti over his morning coffee so he can find out what people think of him today, without having to wait for a Gallup poll result. I think, should there be a terrorist attack at 2AM, he should be able to reach to his nightstand and Google and Wiki the facts immediately. Preferably from lynx running in a console so he saves those crucial seconds. (dream, d...
