In closed-door negotiations with President Obama and his top aides throughout the spring, Big Pharma offered its support for comprehensive health care reform and pledged to cut $80 billion in costs over the next ten years. …
    Obama doesn’t know who his fucking friends are. While big pharma funds and stokes racist crazies with guns, his people are negotiating with the same companies in selling out average Americans.

Beck is on a campaign to convince the American public that President Obama’s agenda is about serving the needs of Black communities at White people’s expense. It’s repulsive, divisive and shouldn’t be on the air.

DownWithTyranny!: Max Baucus Kills The Public Option?

An invitation to a “barbecue & hoedown” at the Sieben Ranch north of Helena from Max Baucus reminded me I need to call Baucus today. He wouldn’t come to the phone, of course, but when I asked his assistant …
    “Just now some poor woman from the DSCC called soliciting money from me to help elect more Democrats so they could complete the work that we started by electing president Obama and enact the policies Americans care about most.

I find the Republican criticism of President Obama’s commentary regarding Iran to be skipping over a critical point.
    Good commentary from former governor about Obama’s Cairo speech, addressed to the kneejerk anti Obama Oklahomans who pounced on it as weak, who probably didn’t read or hear it in full, but just got the Limbaugh notes.
