Mixed reviews for Obama

From Real Clear Politics:

Obama's Attacks on Opponents Are Disingenuous - John Dickerson, Slate
This Was Barack Obama at His Best - Matthew Rothschild, The Progressive
Last Night's Press Conference Was Not Helpful - Jay Cost, HorseRaceBlog

What if they are all right?

One thing is clear to me. Obama and many of his supporters have been mischaracterizing Republican opposition. Republicans are not rooting for a catastrophe and they think their policies would prevent one. Why do Democrats think Republicans would deliberately support policies they think will fail? They may question the intelligence of Republicans, but they are clearly not suicidal.

    Why do Democrats think Republicans would deliberately support policies they think will fail?

    because everyone can only think like themselves when trying to imagine what others are doing. if the dems have the deliberate goal to fail to usurp power, what do you think they project onto their enemies? an equal desire for the same goal!

    its really that simple... its why they are always accusing all this dirty stuff, because this is the stuff they are doing.

    sinners and naive saints come up with different ideas, and they also think differently about their oppositions.

    sinners think the saints are working the goodie goodie side of the isle, nto that they are goodie goodie because when a dem is goodie goodie, they are working a con.

    this is why that side is always paranoid... or eventually becomes such. they cant conceive that their ideas wond work, they ahve cargo cult similarity (form no substance), so they then manufacture enemies of the state, others confounding their plans, etc.

    hasnt anyone noticed that its one paranoid thing after another... the reason the mob 'made' men is because most people cant take the tension of that kind of 24/7 lifestyle... where you can be wacked by your best friend and never know it, and lots more.

    it takes a special kind of perosn to do that, and not get paranoid and undo everything.

    well there is no such vetting in politics, so paranoia runs high in the side that is underhanded and manipulative.

    and the naive saints? they cant believe that negative people like that exist. they dont act 'right' in response. they are inelucible to the sinners...

    its why evil eventually does itself in, and why good always does triumph (long term darwin makes sure of that).

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. 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

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
