Health care reform debate nears final days

Well, it looks like the debate over health care is nearly over, or so Congress would have us believe. After several versions of health care reform emerged from their different Congressional committees and were all combined into the two versions that passed the House and the Senate, respectively, the Democrats are still wrangling among themselves [...]

President Obama on FOX News – Video

I think it would be beneficial to watch this video of the interview FOX News conducted with President Obama on March 17, 2010. With all due respect to the President, he did not answer the question Bret Baier asked him at the onset of the interview. Every time Baier tried to bring the discussion back [...]

Health care costs – Will they go up or down?

One of the biggest campaign promises President Obama is making right now (yes, this is a campaign) is that health care costs will go down if the Democratic plan is implemented. Time after time, we have heard him say that very thing as he travels across the country, touting this plan as the go to [...]

President Obama and open government

One of the biggest criticisms of President George W. Bush and his administration is how they seemed to like governing in secret. It is no secret, pun fully intended, that the Bush administration was not the most open administration our country has seen. I won’t bore you with the specifics, but the exemptions to the [...]

The second health care bill

Frankly, I am tired of hearing and writing about the debate over health care reform. I can’t even begin to count the articles Mike and I have written about the subject and the debate isn’t over yet. All this week, President Obama has been traveling around the country, touting the need for reform and how [...]

Tweeting the President

I have written about Twitter before and how I wasn’t sure how effective it actually is. Personally, I use the network to promote my blog, but little else. I have no interest in telling everyone what I am about to eat or where I am about to go. It can not be denied however, that [...]

Public perception of the automotive bailout – one year later

Please vote in the poll at the end of this article.
Has it really been over a year since the first emergency loans were provided to General Motors and Chrysler? In fact, it was a year on December 19, 2009. It was then that President George W. Bush and his administration decided to give both automakers [...]

Obama – Time to make a decision

Over the past several months, there has been countless articles written about the debate over health care reform. Since the House and the Senate passed their respective versions of reform, the debate has grown over how they will reconcile those versions into a bill that President Obama can sign into law. Mike and I both [...]

Congressman Paul Ryan explains health care reform – Video

How about a show of hands? Is anyone tired of hearing and reading about the debate over health care reform? I didn’t get the chance to watch the health care summit at the Blair House, so I am going back and watching a few of the video segments that are available. One of the ones [...]

President Obama unveils health care plan

First, there was the multiple health care reform plans put forth by the different committees in Congress. Those plans were then molded, melded, and otherwise shaken down and pressed together into the plans that came out of the House and the Senate, respectively. Now that those two plans are being hashed together behind closed doors, [...]
