Chavez embraces Syria in anti US bid

AP/Washington Times:

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez received a hero's welcome in Syria, where he said yesterday that the two countries will "build a new world" free of U.S. domination and vowed to one day "dig the grave of U.S. imperialism."
Thousands of Syrians waved banners and Venezuelan flags along Mr. Chavez's route to a meeting with President Bashar Assad.
His visit was the latest in a series of international stops where he has trumpeted his opposition to Washington's global influence and advanced what he calls a "multipolar" vision of world affairs. His trips also coincide with Venezuela's push to win a rotating seat on the U.N. Security Council, over U.S. opposition.
...
Chavez wants to represent our enemies in the Security counsel. He continues to embrace the dark side in his ridicuous anti US positions. We should do what we can to see that he does not succeed in the UN or at home.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
