My well meaning, but decidedly Obot, sister sent me an article from alternet.org recently written by a lesbian mother detailing the additional financial difficulties we face when we are on our partner’s health care coverage (”Unbelievable: As A Lesbian Mother, I Have To Pay More For Health Care“). Well, I can appreciate her alarm, [...]

At the top of PBS’s latest Bill Moyers Journal, Moyers chose clips of the “usual suspects” opposed to Obama’s health care proposal - a Republican legislator shouting “socialism,” Glenn Beck, Michael Steele, and Bill Kristol, who worked to “drive a stake through” the heart of health care reform in 1993 and 2009. The problem with [...]

Before we embark on Barack Obama’s obsessively-sought federal health care program, a program that will affect every man, woman and child in this country for the next 50 years at the least, shouldn’t we first concentrate on addressing the regulatory deficits that got this nation’s economy, and the world’s economies, into a recession? Shouldn’t [...]

That’s President Serene Jones, of Union Theological Seminary speaking. She continued, “Justice is what love looks like when it takes social form.”
Wow. This is but one of the profound statements made by Dr. Jones throughout the course of Bill Moyers’ “Journal: Faith and Social Justice,” which also included Dr. Cornel West, formerly [...]

Your op-ed in the LA Times on Friday, The GOP: divorced from reality, was really something to behold – a compendium of all the worst smears you could find, carelessly banding all those who oppose President Obama’s reckless actions on the economy into one group. I have never been a member of the GOP [...]

Here’s Paul Krugman, on camera, on Geithner’s “toxic assets” plan, announced Monday: “This is something they can do without legislation. They found a way that they can in effect put the public on the hook for a TRILLION DOLLARS for this stuff without actually getting any approval.” It can be done through the FDIC and [...]

As in Charles Krauthammer and Paul Krugman, that is. One is typically more conservative, one is more liberal, and both had columns this week on how Obama is dealing with our financial crisis, or not. Now, I have long enjoyed Paul Krugman’s work - he is a brilliant, brilliant man (the Nobel Prize Committee [...]

Today, Obama is holding a Forum on Health Care. According to the article:
The nation can’t afford to wait for the economy to recover before tackling out-of-control medical costs, President Barack Obama is telling some of the most powerful players in the health care reform debate.
“If we want to create jobs and rebuild our economy, [...]

SOCIAL SECURITY IS NOT BROKE
As with so many of his positions, Obama’s stance on Social Security has ‘evolved.’ In September of 2008, Slate’s Peter Bray asked, why did Obama delete the following from his on-line position paper on Social Security:
“[Obama] does not believe it is necessary or fair to hard working seniors to raise the [...]

(bumped up from earlier this evening)
I couldn’t resist weighing in on Frank Rich’s latest lefty missive to poke another stick in the eye of Republicans, even though it is obvious there is plenty of blame to go around regarding our current economic crisis. Rich begins his rant:
Here’s a bottom line to keep you up [...]

OPEN THREAD! But first … I still love Paul Krugman, and not just because he’s so cute. It’s because he so heartily, all-out endorsed Hillary Clinton’s health care, housing, and economic plans because he knew that she knew what she was doing. And he had no shyness about condemning Barack Obama’s pallid [...]

In the realm of better late than never, to be fair Paul Krugman spend months reviewing the health care plans of all the candidates, the New York Times has now taken the time to scrutinize Obama’s health care proposals.

I have zero compassion for them. Anyone who supported Obama after March 2008 is clearly either a delusional Obama cultist or a head in the sand idiot. This one is on you.
You had better more experienced choices, say Senator Joe Biden. You had better more principled candidates who live their convictions, say Representative Dennis [...]

I get nervous when politicians lead cheers for the so-called "Free Market," because the phrase is nothing more than a euphemistic slogan that actually means "government should let big corporate players do whatever they want."
That said, Naomi Klein at The Nation wrote this last week:
"Barack Obama waited just three days after Hillary Clinton pulled out [...]

I just heard on Fox News that Obama today is attacking John McCain for advocating the privatization of Social Security. Oh the irony. I keep asking everyone to read RonK Seattle’s investigative reports on the policy positions of Barack Obama’s economic advisers. You may read all of RonK Seattle’s diaries published at Daily Kos or [...]

So, Democrats, the media tells us we are in the midst of a “family fight.”
To introduce myself and my family, I am a latte-drinking, white, college-educated progressive Democrat who, despite my demographic, supports Hillary Clinton. Maybe it is because I am also a woman over 45. My mother and my late father are “blue collar” [...]

We know what to do. Our donations and phone calls will make the difference. Let’s go! (And thanks to C.S. for the clip.)

You’re a fighter, and that’s one of your character traits that I most admire, besides the fact that you’ve thought [...]

How convenient: Politico’s Ben Smith reports that this clip is from the video “taken by somebody at the San Francisco event” [check out Billionaire's Row, where Obama spoke]. “[I]t’s the passage just before the lines everyone is now focused on, in which he talks about the skepticism he encounters,” says Smith.
Well, isn’t that [...]

Los Angeles Times, March 31, 2008:
[Elizabeth] Edwards said she favored Hillary Rodham Clinton’s healthcare plan over Barack Obama’s.
“Sen. Clinton’s plan is a great plan” that closely resembles John Edwards’ proposal, she said. Clinton’s plan mandates that every American be insured. Elizabeth Edwards said only universal healthcare would resolve one of the problems plaguing the healthcare [...]

I think my favorite part of this video of ABC’s This Week, aired Sunday, is when Paul Krugman throws his face in his hands as George Will is delivering one of his stern school-of-hard-knocks lessons.
Barack! You’ve gotta stop copying Hillary’s homework:
Last Thursday, Senator Clinton called for a “second stimulus package” with $30 billion to help [...]
