If you actually look back to the “origin” of Obamacare, the very beginning, as in “why the entire construct of the 2009/2010 Healthcare take over” actually began, you will find one very specific group, labor unions.
It started way back before Senator Obama even began campaigning for the presidency. (more…)

First watch the video:

Prediction: Today, President Obama will come out with another politispeak correction *of sorts*, where he tacks toward the American People, saying that: “HHS’s efforts to improve the quality of healthcare” -has resulted in- “insurance companies choosing to *transition* plans“.
The slow and subtle goal will be to position HHS, not him, as the perceiver-in-origin of the misleading information. Kathleen Sebelius has already been determined to be expendable – her release/discharge will come as soon as the website is working correctly. The end of the newly nuanced (McDonough/Jarrett directed) statement will be summarized around: “we must overcome any potential flaw or glitch, accepting the motive was pure, and demand everyone participate in getting things moving forward”.
Using his traditional approach of divide and conquer, if you do not support the forward looking goal of successful implementation – you are a hateful, selfish non-patriot who does not care about the poor or afflicted.

Someone tell me what exactly is the U.S. value, or interest, in this Obama-doctrine again?   Concessions for Iran and Disparagement for Israel ?    Seriously.

GENEVA – On the eve of a new round of nuclear talks between Iran and the six world powers, a U.S. official said Wednesday that the powers want Iran to halt its nuclear program for six months in exchange for temporary sanctions relief.
The American official added that imposing any new sanctions on Iran at this stage would seriously undermine the negotiations.
During the three weeks since the last round of talks in Geneva, Iranian experts have been meeting in Vienna with counterparts from the six powers – the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany – to discuss the technical aspects of this first step, including how Iran’s nuclear program will be suspended and which sanctions would be eased.  (read the update)

Images of Pope Francis comforting the ailing worshiper were taken at the end of the general audience Wednesday, when a man covered in neuronal tumors approached the leader of the Catholic Church asking for a blessing.

The man reportedly suffers from a rare and painful disease called neurofibromatosis, which causes boils, impaired vision and in some cases cancer, according to the Catholic News Agency.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

We are American.   We Salute one flag.   We love our country.   We pledge allegiance to one nation, our nation.   No other nation on earth can compare.  Our brothers have died to defend her honor.  We will never waiver.  We are loyal.    We are rightly proud.  

We are American.

(Via Fox News)  Fourteen Marines on their way home from serving in Afghanistan were upgraded to first class on their flight from Chicago to San Diego.

The Marines learned that American Airlines – which has a policy to upgrade servicemen and women in uniform whenever possible – had six empty seats in first class for the group. That gesture was followed by seven first-class passengers who jumped out of their seats for the other Marines so they could sit together. (more…)

(Via Gateway Pundit)  Media Report by KOB New Mexico – On January 2, 2013, David Eckert was leaving Wal-Mart in Deming, NM and reportedly failed to make a complete stop at the stop sign. He was immediately pulled over by police. Law enforcement then asked Eckhert to step out of the vehicle.
According to reports Eckert appeared to be clenching his buttocks so law enforcement concluded that Eckert was hiding narcotics in his anal cavity.  The officers detained Eckert and secured a search warrant allowing for an anal cavity search.

It gets worse.  Much, much worse.  Like, unbelievably, staggeringly worse. (more…)
