  Posted by Jesse Lee (The White House) on January 19, 2011 at 06:10 AM EST Today, Republicans in the House of Representatives are voting on a bill to repeal the new freedoms, control over health care decisions, and cost savings the health care law---the Affordable Care Act---provides the American people. As Secretary Geithner noted this morning , repeal would be bad for business and bad for the economy. Repealing the Affordable Care Act would also have a significant effect on families’ bank accounts. Stephanie Cutter, an Assistant to the President who has been working on implementing the health reform law, takes to the White House White Board to explain what repealing it would mean for family premium costs and American jobs:   Technorati Tags: White House , health care , health care repeal , Republicans , republican agenda

Right-Wingers accuse the Obama health care reform as being Fascist. Phony grass roots organizations are packing town hall meetings to drown out questions or debate. They are not interested in working to fix a health care system that is a disaster. They are trying to maintain the status quo. They are shills for the insurance industry who are spreading lies and misinformation about the health care proposals to frighten those who refuse to obtain correct information on their own and prefer to be lead by Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and other professional loud mouths.

In the last week, two of our most senior generals with command of our forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have said they oppose the use of torture or so-called "enhanced" interrogation techniques.  These same generals also confirm that the use of these techniques has damaged our international reputation while producing no actionable intelligence. General David Petraeus – the figure lauded by conservatives and the person chosen by Bush and Cheney to sell the surge to Congress – said the following to Fox News in regards to criticisms of President Obama for taking “enhanced interrogation techniques” off the table: Gen. Petraeus: "Well, actually what I would ask is, 'Does that not take away from our enemies a tool which again have beaten us around the head and shoulders in the court of public opinion?' When we have taken steps that have violated the Geneva Conventions we rightly have been criticized , so as we move forward I think it's important to again live ou...

Click on image to see entire video This dumb-ass seems to be getting around on the video sites. Nothing could be better for this piece of shit. In the video, this fool is happy to display his “Obama Monkey” to someone with a home video cam (I guess this dimwit never heard of video sharing sites) but as soon as he noticed national news zeroing in on him, he ditched the doll to some child. How generous of him. These are the people Rep. John Murtha was referring to and Gov. Rendell claims “there’s only a few of”.

I found this on a wing-nut blog. The closer the election gets, the more braying about Obama being a Communist I find on blogs written by American knuckle draggers. I don’t know if this image was done for a humor site but it is finding its way onto the loonie Right’s blogs apparently.

Misinformation is higher education in the USA How can so many Americans be so stupid and uninformed? The guy at the end is right to be frightened of the violent possibilities of these people. They are capable of anything but intelligent thought!

From My Cartoons My latest cartoon. The Republicans and the Right-Wing in the USA have been trying to paint Obama as a Communist or a Socialist for some time. Is he? Who knows. I suspect he was a typical college Marxist who forgot all the idealism as soon as graduation came and the big bucks started coming in. I live near a big college town and I've seen a lot of those types.

MOSCOW, September 29.— Ivan Melnikov, the Russian vice president of Parliament, has called on the United States to end its economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba, in place for almost 50 years, and the repeal of the anti-Cuban Helms-Burton Act. Speaking at the Parliamentary Assembly of the European Council in Strasbourg in the name of the European United Left, Melnikov harshly criticized the policy of economic siege used to directly pressure sovereign states, Prensa Latina reports. The persistence of the blockade constitutes discrimination against Cuba and third countries, the likewise vice president of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation said, referring to commercial sanctions included in the Helms-Burton Act.   Melnikov asked the Parliamentary Assembly’s Bureau to ask the U.S. government to repeal its discriminatory and anti-Cuban laws, including the Torricelli Act. At the same time, the communist leader exposed how Washington, acting as if it wished...

I post this because it is important to counter the virus-like spread of Cliff Kincaid's anti-Obama propaganda. Cliff Kincaid's Aug. 15 Accuracy in Media column proclaims that the Barack Obama campaign's debunking of Jerome Corsi's Obama-bashing book "acknowledges on ... that the mysterious “Frank” in Obama’s 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, is in fact the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) member Frank Marshall Davis," insisting that the admission "can only add to growing public concern about Obama’s relationship with a Communist pawn of Moscow who was the subject of security investigations by the FBI and various congressional committees which examined Soviet activities in the U.S." In an Aug. 17 column , Kincaid complains that the Obama campaign's debunking "doesn’t identify Davis as a hard-core communist and it dishonestly edits an article about Davis to eliminate references to his admitted involvement in CPUSA activities and make t...
