What, Me Worry?

What, Me Worry?

"I don't spend a lot of time worrying about what the procedural rules are in the House or the Senate." President Obama
FOX NEWS INTERVIEW - Bret Baier with Obama, March 17, 2010

Hmmn, why should Obama worry now? Obama hasn't shown any knowledge, respect or care at all for the United States Constitution, Bill of Rights or State's Rights either.

SO, DON'T WORRY - BE HAPPY!

The new G.E. Image a la Jeffrey Immelt

Build a Conservative Image with a Conservative Icon?

A Preemptive GE Defense before the news gets out!

Today's Wall St. Journal - A Full Page GE Ad aligned with The Man

GE Theater - TV Host 1954-62
It was a publicity shot - Not an indorsement for Obamacare!

The Reagan that would have been appropriate in the GE ad.

A more likely Reagan reaction to Obamacare.

Who is getting ready to launch a huge multi-multi-million dollar back-room deal cut months back with the Obama White House hidden in the new Obamacare Law being passed now?

General Electric Corporation is a huge Obama financial supporter under Jeffrey R. Immelt, the chairman and CEO. It is taking over the behemoth electronic filing and computer processing for the nation's new massive Health Care System paperwork system. What a coup de grâce, a finishing stroke for all the voters! This an earmark, big time payback from Obama to Immelt. Wait until you get the bill for this expenditure!

Here is a news item during the Reagan-Carter debates:
Reagan's showing in the televised debates boosted his campaign. He seemed more at ease, mocking President Carter's criticisms with remarks like "There you go again." Perhaps his most influential remark was a closing question to the audience, during a time of skyrocketing global oil prices and highly unpopular Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?"

I wonder who will ask that question about Obama in the next Presidential debates?

King Obama Rx for Health-Care Bill

After Labor day, Senate leaders will review their options including a 60% chance to use the split-bill tactic. Democrats also have intraparty differences. Liberals call it a "public option", the White House calls it a "preferred option" and the Finance Committee calls it a "bad idea". Whatever it is called, there will be little, if any, Republican support.

Showing wisdom like King Solomon, Obama's Rx is to "cut the bill in two" and proceed under the reconciliation process that lets legislation pass with a filibuster-proof 51 votes.

And now, in Obama's own political world, here will come Robert Gibbs, White House Press Secretary, with the official spin to this story, "In what is surely a tribute for Obama's bold decision, voters will reward Obama with reelection as he rules "with wisdom and discernment in great measure, with understanding as vast as the sands of the seashore" and that quote comes right out of the Bible, so you can really believe it!"

So, the Judgment of Solomon, it turns out, should be held up not as a paradigm of splitting the difference but of using political maneuvering to flush out posturing and do what's right. If that happens, then the term can be used in the sense of its dictionary definition—"showing wisdom or discernment." But until then, we shouldn't dress up Obama's compromise as the Judgment of Solomon when, in the end, it's just politics as usual, again.
