POPSHill Leaders Welcome Summit Idea "Obviously, I am pleased that the White House finally seems interested in a real, bipartisan conversation on health care," he said. "The problem with the Democrats’ health care bills is not that the American people don’t understand them; the American people do understand them, and they don't like them." Congressional Republicans have largely resisted the Democratic effort to write health care legislation. Only one Republican member voted for the House bill when it passed in November. No Republicans voted for the Senate bill during procedural motions or on final passage.

POPSObama's First Year: By the Numbers "Nothing special," said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs when asked what President Obama is doing today to mark the end of his 1st year in office and the start of his 2nd. (at right, President Obama takes the oath of office, Jan. 20, 2009.) "It's an anniversary of types, but I don't see that a lot of people are ultimately focused on marking the first year," said Gibbs at yesterday's daily press briefing. He said the White House already had its fill of calendar anniversaries: the first 100 days; 200 days, six months; a year after the election. Posted by Mark Knoller http://www.cbsnews.com

POPSSustainable houses for the Solar Decathlon Europe 2010 "The core element here is sustainability. The house can expand with its lightweight ribs that are dried together. The basic unit is composed totally of prefabricated materials and is dry assembled. All the systems meant for energy capture, transformation and renewable energy accumulation have been chosen to provide a realistic and organized product. The courtyard of the house also works as a cooling unit by using cross ventilation with the purpose of creating a “microclimate.” The house is meant to be energetically self-sufficient."

POPSPURE EVIL Taliban commanders used to come to our house. There was an underground bunker beside the house, with electricity. It was concrete and very strong. Cars would drive on top but no-one would realise what was underneath. In that hideout they used to train suicide bombers. Most were children of my age or younger than me. They were used for these activities because they were too young to know any better. Going to 'paradise' I used to see these children getting on a vehicle to go for their missions. They used loud Islamic CDs to motivate them. And I would think, "My God, more Muslims are going to be buried". Then the news would come that more Muslims were wiped out.

POPSObama's Stunning Admission Obama admits Dems "snuck in" health care provisions Posted by Tom Bevan So it's a bit of shock to find out now - from the President himself, no less - that one or both of the bills that passed Congress late last year (the House passed its version in late November, the Senate on Christmas Eve Day) contained language that would have violated this pledge. If we take this statement at face value, President Obama is admitting the the health care bills passed by either the House or Senate (or both) contained provisions which were "snuck in" - presumably by Democratic members and perhaps on behalf of certain lobbyists - that would have in fact prevented people from keeping their current insurance and/or choosing the doctor they want.

POPSObama About to Raise Taxes on 95% of All Americans
The targeted tax provisions were enacted under the Bush administration's Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. Among other things, the law lowered individual tax rates, slashed taxes on capital gains and dividends, and steadily scaled back the estate tax to zero in 2010. If the provisions are allowed to expire on December 31, the top-tier personal income tax rate will rise to 39.6 percent from 35 percent. But lower-income families will pay more as well: the 25 percent tax bracket will revert back to 28 percent; the 28 percent bracket will increase to 31 percent; and the 33 percent bracket will increase to 36 percent. The special 10 percent bracket is eliminated. Investors will pay more on their earnings next year as well, with the tax on dividends jumping to 39.6 percent from 15 percent and the capital-gains tax increasing to 20 percent from 15 percent. The estate tax is eliminated this year, but it will return in 2011 --

POPSFLEMING HEALTH CARE REFORM UPDATE "You will be pleased to know that more than 100 Members of Congress joined in support of H. Res. 615, my common sense measure calling on Members who vote for an intrusive government-administered health care plan to enroll in that system. Since launching this effort, nearly 3 million Americans like you have contacted my office in support of H. Res. 615. In response I offered an amendment to the Democratic Leadership health care bill to automatically enroll all Members of Congress and all Senators in the public option. Predictably, my amendment was rejected out of hand by the Majority and was not given a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives."

POPSHELEN's EPHIPHANY. When you call the reporter the night before you know damn well what they are going to ask to control you,” Thomas said. “I’m not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well--for the town halls, for the press conferences,” she said. “It’s blatant. They don’t give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.” During today’s briefing, Thomas interrupted a back-and-forth between Gibbs and Chip Reid, the White House correspondent for CBS News, when Reid was questioning Gibbs about who was going to decide what questions would be asked of President Obama in a townhall meeting that was scheduled to take place in Annandale, Va., today.

POPSThe Worst US Candidate Ever!? Threatening a prostitute with a knife, drug use, adultery, etc. (see clip, there's more) would normally indicate a life going down the tubes, but Scott Cohen has these arrests and accusations as part of his stepping stones to elected office. Most of our criminal or hypocritical politicians are more subtle or better at covering up their past. But Cohen has money: millions. And the opposition was divided. Of course in other places or ancient times you'd rise to power on mass murder and scams. At least our politicians are not that bad: Until they get in office.

POPSMore about Shadie Why do I harp on about this crook? Because he insulted all veterans by his unanswered diatribe related to all of us who served in Ulster. When I complained to my MP, Gordon Marsden, I was dismissed with an off-handed comment that it was not within his remit. Surely it is not within any former soldier's remit to vote for such dross?

POPSGet Rid of Rahm Emmanuel, flawed WH Advisor Behind the scenes, this psychotic politician, White House Chief of Staff, is probably the one most responsible for killing a reform of USA national health care. Right now, if you get sick, insurance companies can cancel your policy. This is just one of the obvious ills of the way things are. When US Senator Leiberman plunged the knife into health care reform, Rahm Emmanuel backed him up and told 'liberals,' that if they worked to defeat Lieberman in the next elections, or other conservative Democrats, that they were '#ucking retartded.' Now's he's apologized: to retarded people. He sends people dead fish in the mail. Makes threats. Was a mercenary (or 'civilian contractor," ) in the Israeli Army. He should not only be fired but stripped of his US citizenship.

POPSNPO | Obama budget: Higher taxes on wealthy, less revenue for charity?
“It’s frankly surprising to see this proposal come back this year, it was very controversial last year,” said Tom Riley, vice president for communications at the Philanthropy Roundtable. “This of all times isn’t the time to take actions that would discourage charitable giving. The need for non-profits hasn’t been higher for a generation.” Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center said the rule change would make it about 10 percent more expensive for individuals affected to donate to charity. He estimated that would correspond to a $10 billion drop in donations out of the $300 billion Americans give annually. “From the perspective of charities, they’re in a tough time right anyway,” Williams said. “Some charities have been seeing a drop-off in donations and charities themselves that have endowments are seeing a drop-off in return from investments. It’s a double whammy.” ___ SOURCE | http://dailycaller.twi.bz/a ___ SEARCH | http://go

POPSEd Schultz on Visiting White House: 'Almost a Shrine' - to Obama And so I got the message right away that there's nothing but Obama fans in the White House which I think is a good thing. 'Cause it's always good to have the team together, right? (laughs) I'm not sure which is more bizarre -- Schultz not realizing this doesn't speak well of Obama, or Schultz saying "I got the message right away that there's nothing but Obama fans in the White House." This constitutes a "message"? What was he expecting, a tea party protest? As if those "Obama fans" have much say about photo homages to Dear Leader. Instead of that, how about photographs and illustrations of previous families who've lived in the White House? Or portraits of staffers who've worked there for decades? Or character studies of men and women in uniform, whose service helps the current occupants of the executive mansion sleep soundly at night. Perhaps even -- dare I say it -- art? *Speaking of art, note George Soros sitting next to the stairs, wearing a blue shirt.
