Item #1 – Hitlery (or if you prefer, Hiliary) Rotten Von Der Schlikmeister has tossed Old Crusty Black Pantsuit into the Presidential ring. The game is now afoot. Unlike Allahpundit, who called the timing an “amateur mistake”, I declare it a masterpiece. One of the most-watched weekends of the (mostly-)liberal Sunday morning talk shows, made so because those liberals without fax machines need their pre-State of the Union Address marching orders, now gets dominated by Hiliary, and the hosts “Meet the Press”, “Face the Nation”, “This Week”, and “Late Edition” won’t have to temper their genuflection before her with any criticisms from Limbaugh and the weekday Fox News crew.
Item #2 (with a H/T to Kate) – It sure looks like we’re about to get a massive tax increase from yet another President Bush. Take a gander at this line from this week’s Presidential radio address (the last one before his State of the Union Address)
Americans are fortunate to have the best health care system in the world. The government has an important role to play in our system. We have an obligation to provide care for the most vulnerable members of our society — the elderly, the disabled, and poor children and their parents. We are meeting this responsibility through Medicare, Medicaid, and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. We must strengthen these vital programs so that they are around when future generations need them.
It even comes with Jefe’s own “read my lips” moment:
We must address these rising costs, so that more Americans can afford basic health insurance. And we need to do it without creating a new Federal entitlement program or raising taxes.
Item #3 – Investor’s Business Daily is reporting that a tax hike in the form of a cap on tax breaks for employer-provided health care is just one of the hard turns to the left that is expected to be announced on Tuesday night. He will also announce that, unlike Jim Ott (a major hat-tip to Josh Schroeder for getting that exclusive), he doesn’t want to lose his AMS certification, that making his 2001 and 2003 temporary tax cuts permanent are off the table, and that corn-a-hole will get a fresh massive federal influx.
Hilary, what a slap in the face to American Women. Has she proved that women politicians can be just as crooked as any man in the big business of US Government? I’m having problems with the comments about Obama’s lack of experience. He has served more time in the Il state senate and US than George Bush Jr. or Hilary but seems we are going to be sold the BS that he is inexperienced. ‘
Having even more problems with the hush, hush Leo Wanta Scandal. Where is Leo Wanta now? Just where did the 27 trillion dollars some laundered in the Children’s Defense Fund that Hilary was managing originate? Question if this money was created by the US federal reserve or is it profits from illegal drug trafficing by the CIA and govt. officials. Please try to remember Drugs yield more profits than oil. Currently Afaganistan is our biggest supplier of Herion and Hillary wants more troops to protect what? Was this financial scandal created to offset the Bank of Englands loss created by Geo Soro’s Obama’s presidential elect financial backer? What does Geo Soros hate about the American form of Capitalism? The corruption of our Big Business political leadership? If so Obama’s our man. Will any of the presidential candiates in either major party come out with answers to our primary political problems, will any propose term limits, Campaign financing, Seems to me to level the playing field we need to pass governmental support and services and disallow private financing. Give the candiates public air time to debate. Allow them to go door to door personally, no flyers, no computer generated calls, give the candidate and the public equal opportunity.
