What's good for the Goose is good for the Gander.

I agree with those who suggest that before socialized medicine is foisted upon all of us, Obama and Congress should be the guinea pigs. After all, if their plan is so good, they should have no problem in first implementing for themselves. As the old saying goes, what's good for the Goose is good for the Gander.

My thoughts on Health Care

By this time, I’m sure we’ve all heard more than we care to about Professor Henry Gates. Still, I can’t let it go without tossing in my two cents. Admitting he didn’t know the facts of the case didn’t prevent President Obama, allegedly our first post-racial chief executive, from siding with the black professor and admonishing a white Cambridge policeman. Nothing too surprising about that, inasmuch as he appears to be far more concerned with the health and comfort of the Islamic terrorists down in Gitmo than he is with America’s elderly citizens. Although we have Obama on the ropes we must keep up the pressure …hassle your representatives, regular and often

Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Henry Louis Gates Jr. arrest was a teachable moment for all Americans. It shows how "RACIST" so many in the black community have become, thanks to the local black community organizers.
Well, at least Gates is a Professor in the Harvard Racial Resentment Institute, and not the English Department. "Teachable moment", be damned. How, pray, does one teach a moment? This Urban-Self-Appointed-Elite jargon is really beginning to grate on the old nerves

Obama Call Police Sgt's Act : 'Stupidly'

BOSTON (Reuters) - President Obama plunged his presidency into a charged racial debate and set off a firestorm in one of America's most liberal bastions by siding with a black Harvard scholar who accuses police of racism.

Saying he was unaware of "all the facts" but that police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, "acted stupidly" in their arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Obama whipped up emotions on both sides of an issue that threatens to open old wounds in America.

His comments marked his biggest foray into the hot-button issue of race since taking office in January, and underline how racial issues remain very much alive despite advances embodied by his election as the first black U.S. president

Liberals always attack whenever they can't think of anything contributory to say. Actually, as far as this story goes, it is exemplary of the Obama's and the amount of thought they give towards anything meaningful.
Gates sounds like a rev Wright follower! All the interview bites I've heard of him today seem to say the same thing: "It's the white man and his oppressive white pig racist police state that's oppressin' me!" Ha ha ha ha. What a whiner. All he had to do was step out on the porch and identify himself.
I can understand the Professor's anger.. however, reading these articles... I see a Police Office who responded to a report of a break in. The officer was doing his job. Someone reported a break in by two black men at that home. The officer didn't just happen by and pick that house because it was inhabited by a black man. How would the professor feel if there actually were two men (black or otherwise) who were actually robbing the home? Would he be grateful that the officer stopped them, or would he be angry because they were racially profiled? This is all nuts and the President has no business being involved. Is he going to come to the defense of everyone who is his friend? Would he do the same for me if I am unjustly accused of a crime? This is not a story that should have made such headlines... nor, a statement by the President. I don't blame the officer for not apologizing. He was doing his job... let him do his job. If a police officer has to think before he reacts every time he is trying to do his job... we will see a lot more dead officers. If the professor had acted in a professional manner and had let the man just do his job, this would have all been blown over without headlines. But, instead he acted out and was arrested, not for breaking in, but for acting disorderly. Maybe he should blame his nosy neighbors for calling in the report in the first place, and let the police officer alone.
My first thought was, "Doesn't this idiot Harvard professor realize these officers were risking their lives trying to protect HIS property?"

Arrogance is a terrible trait and it looks as if this "stupid" professor has tons of it. Shame on him and Obama (Mr. Arrogance himself), for playing the race card. Both should be above it. God bless that police officer for doing his duty and then for not caving when attempts were made to totally intimidate him.

Instead, he acted like a jerk. Now he hides behind the race thing. Coward. Idiot. Racist.

Obama arrives in Russia

Obama has touched down in Moscow for a full-scale two-day summit, the first of its kind since the early part of the George Bush presidency. Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their two daughters proceeded down a formal reception line on the airport tarmac, shaking hands with Russian officials. The president's first event in Russia on Monday is a wreath-laying ceremony at the Russian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
I hope Glenn Beck does a side by side showing of Ø casually throwing his flowers at the 9-11 ceremony against his reverently laying whatever at the Russian ceremony. That may not have happened yet, but you know it will. Michelle and the children are out shopping. I'm breathlessly awaiting the fashion reports on Michelle. I can't wait to hear how she has wowed them with her fashion sense and how she has singlehandedly brought world piece because she wore two cardigans with a tough of fluffy organza. I want to hear the real news AP, enough with foreign affairs, it's most important to get a fashion report.

GOP Takes Control of New York State Senate

ALBANY -- Republicans appear to have retaken control of the state Senate this afternoon after two dissident Democrats crossed the aisle in a parliamentary coup. "An historic change in leadership is taking place at this moment and a new bipartisan, coalition is being established that is bringing real reform to the Senate RIGHT NOW," according to a news advisory sent out by the GOP.
What a historic moment.I have a thrill running up & down my Conservative spine!
Congrats, to you in New York ! Maybe there's hope in that State yet!

Barack Obama Can we Move in NOW? :

President-elect Barack Obama asked the White House if his family could move to Washington earlier than normal, but aides say the White House couldn't give them the official guest house as early as his family wanted. The Obamas had asked White House officials to move into Blair House about two weeks before the traditional date so their two daughters could start their new school when classes resume Jan. 5.
"The Entitled One" just can't wait...I guess that he wants to move in before he's thrown out!
I'm surprised that he didn't ask George and Laura to move out early so he could get an early start on redecorating.
Talk about being anxious to take over the world.
