Hey, (Cowering-In-The-)Barracks Forshame Obummer:
If You Would Lead, Maybe We Would Follow
By David Michael Green
Hey, Barack. How's this working out for you? In eight months time you've
squandered a massive and historic opportunity. You've resuscitated a
murderously evil political party that, with a little shove in the right
direction, might instead have been buried dead forever. You've let just
about anybody say just about anything regarding you and your policies,
without consequence.

Frank Rich: Is Obama Punking Us?:
The larger fear is that Obama might be just another corporatist, punking
voters much as the Republicans do when they claim to be all for the common
guy. If anything, the most unexpected - and challenging - event that could
rock the White House this August would be if the opposition actually woke
up.

Anatomy of American Ignorance
By Bill Noxid
The astonishing amount of rage demonstrated during the course of this
fallacious healthcare debate has exposed a great many unfortunate realities
about the United States. This country's inherent ability to avoid the truth
about its own origins and behaviors has become increasingly apparent during
the first six months of this presidency.

This Is Reform?
By Bob Herbert
It's never a contest when the interests of big business are pitted
against the public interest. So if we manage to get health care "reform"
this time around it will be the kind of reform that benefits the very people
who have given us a failed system, and thus made reform so necessary.

Why Single-Payer is the ONLY Sensible Health Care Reform
(Explained in Plain English)
By Carmen Yarrusso
Our "representatives" are diligently keeping single-payer "off the
table" for one reason only: single-payer would easily win in any honest,
open debate. Once again our "representatives" are selling us out to special
interests.
