POPSObama Could Dump Biden for Clinton as VP in 2012 ..... of Clinton admirers, give Obama more of a pragmatic luster, and shunt the gaffe-prone Biden aside. And it would theoretically discourage Clinton, a former senator from New York, from challenging Obama in the 2012 primaries, Democratic insiders say, because as vice president she would be considered Obama's heir for 2016. Clinton would be 69 that year, the same age as Ronald Reagan when he won the presidency in 1980. As for Clinton, she has said that she doesn't plan to serve as secretary of state longer than four years, but so far she has expressed no interest in another presidential run. She was the favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 but lost to Obama after a long series of primaries and caucuses.A White House strategist attributed the speculation about Biden and Clinton to "cocktail party chatter" and said Obama is "very pleased" with Biden's job performance. http://www.usnews.com

POPSSwearing Scott Brown why did the Democratic Governor and the Democratic leaders of the Senate allow Senator Brown his wish? After all, there are some votes coming up where that 60th vote will be needed. One has to wonder: what gives? I think Clifton, over at Another Black Conservative, has come up with an interesting theory: If I had to guess, I would say Reid is desperate for another excuse as to why he cannot pass healthcare reform. Despite all the chatter and tough talk, healthcare reform is dead, dead, dead. It died a least a week before the Scott Brown victory. When the House Democrats, who all face re-election this year, saw what was happening in Massachusetts they dropped support for healthcare reform. All this stuff you hear now about working on healthcare is just noise designed to let their base down softly, because the truth would set their base on fire. Can you imagine what would happen on the left if it were known that the Democrats got ...

POPSText of Obama State of the Union speech: 1/27/10. Opening remarks Like many other Democrats, I was more than pleased with President Obama's assessment of the state of the union. My reasons: minimum high rhetoric, limited ambitions, occasionally even handed between political parties, call to the better angels in Republicans, took on the recent controversial Supreme Court decision, focused on jobs, but did not walk away from health care reform. He showed sensitivity and leadership when it was of paramount importance.

POPSDemocrats Talking About Using the "Nuclear Option" to Pass ObamaCare Here is audio of Democrat Rep. James Clyburn telling liberal talk show host Bill Press that the "way forward" on Health Care Reform is to use the "Reconciliation Process" to pass a bill "as an Easter Basket." It also has audio of multiple other Democrats saying the same thing, that the use of the "Reconciliation Process" to pass a bill of some kind is a definite option. The "Reconciliation Process" has also been called the "Nuclear Option," and Democrats howled at even the suggestion of Republicans using that process to get Judicial Nominees approved during the Bush Administration. It was not used, but now Democrats seem to have no qualms at using it to push through ObamaCare. Such a process only requires 50 votes to pass a bill (plus VP Joe Biden), and bypasses the possibility of a filibuster by the GOP.

POPSCutting SSI and Medicare or Here We Go Again
Whether the Administration is Repub or Dem, it's just dying to get its grubby little paws on that Social Security money. Crap,crap, crap! More from the article/letter below: "For nearly three decades, Social Security has taken in more revenue each year than it has paid out in benefits. These excess funds have been invested in special issue U.S. government securities. Thus, Social Security has effectively been loaning its excess funds to the federal government to spend on other programs. Rather than increasing the federal deficit, Social Security’s annual surpluses have actually been covering up the true size of the deficit in the general fund." There are no congressional hearings and no opportunity for members of the House to weigh in on the proposals. To rub salt in the wound, this plan was largely crafted not by members of the House, but by vice president and former Delaware senator Joe Biden along with two senators:Kent Conrad, the North Dakota Democrat ... and Republican Judd Gr

POPSBiden: US to Appeal Dismissal of Blackwater Case How can American citizens get a fair trial when the President and Vice President have stated that they are guilty? The U.S. rebuffed Iraqi demands that the U.S. contractors face trial in Iraqi courts. After a lengthy investigation, U.S. prosecutors charged five of the contractors with manslaughter and took a guilty plea from a sixth. But the case fell apart in December after a judge found that the Justice Department mishandled evidence and violated the guards’ constitutional rights. Prosecutors now face difficult odds getting an appeals court to reinstate the case. Luckily, under Mr. Obama’s regime, constitutional rights are only for foreign terrorists. Not American citizens who are risking their lives for our national security. And, lo and behold, we find buried at the bottom of this AP story: Court documents paint a murky picture of a case rife with conflicting evidence. Some witnesses say the Blackwater convoy was under fire;

POPSTQ | Is Eric Holder a great or an over-reaching AG?
TQ | TODAY'S QUESTION | Is Eric Holder a more aggressive prosecutor than his predecessor? ___ Eric Holder was sworn in as the 82nd Attorney General of the United States on February 3, 2009 by Vice President Joe Biden. President Barack Obama announced his intention to nominate Mr. Holder on December 1, 2008. In 1997, Mr. Holder was named by President Clinton to be the Deputy Attorney General, the first African-American named to that post. Prior to that he served as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. In 1988, Mr. Holder was nominated by President Reagan to become an Associate Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. ___ This Google clip is one of many similar breaking news stories about Justice Department efforts to fight corruption and crime. Are all of these efforts a sign that Eric Holder is an effective Attorney General or is he overly aggresive? ___ SOURCE | http://google.twi.bz/dy ___ SEARCH | http://google.twi.bz/ey ___ iWeb Blogger | TQ: Tr

POPSJoe Biden update: He meets on transparency today. But the meeting is closed It is certainly hard to quantify how much Democrats suck. This is the absolute height of Democrat power: A liberal president who was very popular, large majority in the House, filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. That’s as good as it gets. It only goes down from there. And what have they achieved with such power? Failure. And this article is from the liberal LA Times. Seriously, how bad is that. Is the right-wing "lieing"? Cuz there sure is a lot of crying. You only have yourselves to blame libs. It looks like in that photo he's saying "PRAISE JESUS!!" No, that can't be right.

Prominent journalists who have quoted Gruber’s work extensively, from Ezra Klein at the Washington Post to Ron Brownstein at the Atlantic, have expressed surprise upon learning that Gruber received at least $392,600 in sole-source contracts from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in the last year. more at ....... http://dailycaller.com/

POPSDems Party-approved light-skinned face of Barack First of all, Majority Leader Reid’s thanks to God that Barack Obama is not a dark-skinned Negro with a Southern accent is not only about Harry Reid. It is also about the party that chooses to make him their leader despite his slander of dark-skinned Clarence Thomas several years ago as being not intellectually up to the job of Supreme Court justice. It is about a party that nominated a Vice-President Joe Biden that thanked God that Obama was “clean and articulate.” And it is about a party that nominated a President that viewed his white grandmother as typical of her race in being a racist; sat in the pews of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Hate white America Church for 20 years; assumed a Cambridge police officer was racist without any evidence; and dropped election intimidation charges against New Black Panther thugs.

POPSDarkness reigns: Obama and the Vampire Congress
Meet the Beltway bloodsuckers. They convene in the dead of night, when most ordinary mortals have left work, let their guard down, or are lying asleep in bed. Pale-faced and insatiable, the nocturnal thieves do their nefarious business in backrooms and secret chambers. Their primary victims? Taxpayers, the free market, and deliberative democracy. Democrat leaders have been promising the most ethical, transparent, open, and engaged administration for years. Instead, they have delivered a bleak and creepy legislative environment that could double as a Twilight movie set. House Democrat leaders forbade debate on all but one amendment not authored by themselves. Skulking Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rammed the government health care takeover package through under cover of darkness before Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Senate Finance Committee killed a GOP amendment that would have required Demcare to be available online for 72 hours before the committee voted. Reid and his Volterr

POPSRevealing Photo “Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq War, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest.” Of course he readopted false patriotism later in the campaign when he figured out he’d need some to get elected, but he’s been elected, he’s president now, and he can do whatever he wants. Maybe now that he is president, it is real patriotism. But I’m going to guess that, much like giving a nod in speeches to America’s history of sacrifice in defense of freedom and the nation’s ongoing interests and obligations in that regard, this is one of those presidential things he just has to do.I kind of wish he’d speak out more on issues that are of importance to our national security , though. I’ve noticed lately that getting him to do that is like pulling teeth, and usually only done when it can’t be avoided ......

POPSHarvard: Swine Flu Pandemic Oversold; Fear Mongering Gov't To Blame? A little speculation here as to motives. Mine leans more to promoting the need for the universal health care system that was/is being forced upon us. As the article says, this is not to minimize the deaths of those who died from this strand of flu. All of us need to be vigilant and careful; but not for one minute did I believe this was going to be a global disaster. I'm not the brightest bulb in the box but discernment and common sense need to abound.
