Everyday I think there is nothing at this point that can make me more disappointed with Obama than I already am and everyday I am wrong.

Well said Chuck!

Here in Minnesota we have one of the better State healthcare systems (MNcare) which I think former republican Governor Arne Carlson created. There was a recent MPR show discussing the set up of exchanges and other requirements of the ACA. Governor Dayton’s team members on the show were quite open that it may be impossible to meet the deadline even with MN already being way ahead of almost all other states. They had no idea what many other states were going to do being that some hadn’t even started. The logistics of setting up the exchange seem to be an incredibly difficult task according to the panelists.

sorry macbook phantom accident

I totally agree. The other year writer and psychologist Peter Michaelson finish an article on how we got into Iraq with this:

“The theoretical psychologist, Carl Jung, predicted in his 1957 book, The Undiscovered Self, that we would come to a point in our history where, because of our superficiality, we would not be able to recognize evil and our participation in it.

One of the very first appointments Obama made was to place Michael Taylor, former Vice-President and Chief Lobbyist for Monsanto, as the Deputy Commissioner of the FDA. It’s been all downhill from there. I can’t think of one “line in the sand” principle that Democrats stand for.

The United States of America is rotten to the core! Taibbi’s recent post in the Rolling Stone about OWS is about this. There is nothing worth saving here.

As a note the Catholic Church has been implicated in the rape and sodomizing of 10,000 times more children than this Penn State deviant. Why is there a brick left standing in their churches?

I agree! Though Franken has had some good moments he is basically invisible. I even know people who know him and I never hear a thing about him. Klobuchar is just a pure politician with out a thread of ethics, nothing more. An empty paper bag is better than Klobuchar.

As a reluctant MN resident for 19 years, Senator Klobuchar is representative of todays worthless democrats. In her first year of office she voted almost lockstep with Senator Norm Coleman. She is another democrat that I will never vote for again along with Obama!

It can’t be said enough – Obama, what a schmuck

I am very confused by this article as someone who has been following the mortgage fiesta and hangover for a very long time. There wasn’t rampant foreclosure fraud in 2003. In Fact in 2003 we were hip deep in mortgage palooza when the whole country was on the pigs back and anyone could even lie about having a pig and get a “no doc 5/1 arm”. I’m not saying in any way that Fannie and Freddie haven’t been criminally negligent in almost everything they do but no one wanted to no anything in 2003.

It’s all so easy once you get the rhythm of it. Good stuff!

Obviously you aren’t a 13 dimensional chess player. It’s the same way you fix the unaffordability of Health Care by making it illegal not to buy it. The “Obama” will announce this coming week his solution to unemployment. He is going to ask for a sweeping law making unemployment illegal.

Once Obama approves the Tar Sands pipeline it will be champagne and caviar for everyone. Jobs for all! We need more road projects because they create development that creates growth and a total win win for everyone. Jesus even said growth is what brings humanity to god. We are doomed!

I didn’t see a mention of this yet. Obama appoints Michael Taylor, former Monsanto Vice President, as the FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods. It was one of the first clues that Obama had very different ideas than his voters.

One of my favorite Bill McKibbon quotes was one he used in an address to the Bioneers a few years back.
“Nature always bats last”

I welcome Obama’s corporatist contempt.

Were do we get our FireBaggger T-shirts?
