POPSOh no! Obama tries to indoctrinate Congress! “I don’t want my legislators exposed to political propaganda,” said Karen Bigelow, a housewife from Nacogdoches, Texas. “I did not send them to Washington to have them brainwashed by a liberal Nazi from the executive branch. Whatever happened to the separation of powers?”

POPSIs Obama support eroding among white voters? It's down by about 10% since April. And there's no race story - it's about the same in all groups - despite a headline in the LA Times that isn't supported by its own numbers. Analysis from fivethirtyeight.com.

POPSObama wants to kill your grandma: five myths about health care
Myth 5: Unlike private insurance, government bureaucrats will ration care. This line also makes government the enemy. "You may want healthcare that your doctor has prescribed for you," Peter Ferrara, of the anti-tax, anti-government Institute for Policy Innovation, wrote on the National Review last month. "But the rationing bureaucracy in Washington that doesn’t even know you, or your doctor, may decide that your doctor doesn’t know what he’s talking about, or that you are too old for the government to pay for your hip replacement to stop the pain, or to get an expensive triple bypass or a pacemaker operation to save your life." Since the Obama administration keeps talking about encouraging doctors to shift to outcome-based pay scales and evidence-based guidelines for what treatments or procedures to use, opponents don't have much trouble painting a troubling picture of faceless government hacks denying the care you -- or your loved ones -- need.

POPSBacking Iranian demonstrators could prompt crackdown Republicans turn up the heat on Obama to come down hard on Iran; Administration knows that American support could be just the excuse Iran's govt needs to touch off a crackdown and kill the reform movement. Wake up, GOP, how many times will you undermine reform in Iran?

POPSIranian reformers press on; Moussavi "ready for martyrdom" "I am ready for martyrdom" vows Moussavi. Obama: “Suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away. The Iranian people will ultimately judge the actions of their own government. If the Iranian government seeks the respect of the international community, it must respect the dignity of its own people and govern through consent, not coercion. “Martin Luther King once said: ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.’ ” I believe that. The international community believes that. And right now, we are bearing witness to the Iranian peoples’ belief in that truth, and we will continue to bear witness.” Well said! Direct US involvement would ruin the resistance by branding it American - backed. Obama does well to stand back and let Iranians decide their own fate.

POPSSen. Shelby bids reality farewell on Sunday TV The Obama admin is "obviously" turning the USA into a socialist nation, he claims. OK, let's count the evidence: How many companies has the government taken over (of America's 26 million)? Um, one? General Motors? A few more if you count the ones with loans (which is a stretch)? And the banks that Bush bailed out. OK, let's grant them all and say ten. 10 of 26,000,000. And we're a socialist nation. One divided by 2,600,000, to express it in a percentage of total businesses. My, my. Sound the alarum! Break out the hammers and sickles! Or call the men in white coats.

POPSUN Rapporteur: Not prosecuting torturers is illegal ...in an interview with the Austrian newspaper Der Standard, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Professor Manfred Nowak, explained that Obama’s grant of immunity is likely a violation of international law. As a party to the UN Convention Against Torture, the U.S. is obligated to investigate and prosecute U.S. citizens that are believed to have engaged in torture:

POPSAmount Obama received from AIG: Zero! Employees of AIG - a different matter - gave quite a bit, but not as much as they gave Bush in 04. And the #3 winner from AIG employees in 08? John McCain. If you contributed to the campaign of a public official at your work, would it be accurate to say that the company you work for made the contribution?
