Of course, Obama’s health care reform plan will encourage rationing of care.

How else will they pay for their reform?

Read this and get angry on how Obama will destroy the American health care system – Bring on the rationing.

To say the least the graphic above tells the story.

The most interesting is the following story about Sarah Palin:

Favorable / Unfavorable
Palin: 44 / 46

2012 President
Obama 49%, Palin 42%

An incumbent President ONLY leading a former Governor of Alaska by 7 points six months into his administration is a stunning reversal of fortunes for the GOP.

Stay tuned …………

There you go folks. Health care you can believe in and certainly pay for.

Does anyone think this will improve American health care?

Come on now…..

The annual Day By Day fundraiser has now begun.

Please go here and donate generously.

Chris Muir is a valuable resource and has even more planned in the coming year.

Sorry, but I have been away from the local news a little since I have been on vacation in Indianapolis for the past couple of weeks. But, here is the poop on Sarah Palin’s sojorn to Ventura County, California where I live.

Republican Women Federated of Simi Valley said in a statement Sunday that Palin is scheduled to attend the group’s 50th anniversary gala at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Aug. 8.

Republican Women Federated of Simi Valley spokeswoman Pat Saraceno said the invitation-only event will be closed to the media. Several hundred people have already confirmed they plan to attend the gala, which costs $100 for members and $150 for invited nonmembers.

The group expects no more than 900 people at the event, which will be held at the cavernous pavilion that houses the former president’s jet, Air Force One.

The master of ceremonies for the event will be conservative radio talk-show host and filmmaker John Ziegler.

Unfortunately, I have already made plans to be in Las Vegas this weekend and will miss the event.

But, I am positive Sarah will be back in Ventura County soon and often.

And, why not?

President Obama has the votes in Congress.

President Barack Obama may rely only on Democrats to push health-care legislation through the U.S. Congress if Republican opposition doesn’t yield soon, two of the president’s top advisers said.

“Ultimately, this is not about a process, it’s about results,” David Axelrod, Obama’s senior political strategist, said during an interview in his White House office. “If we’re going to get this thing done, obviously time is a-wasting.”

Both Axelrod and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said taking a partisan route to enacting major health-care legislation isn’t the president’s preferred choice. Yet in separate interviews, each man left that option open.

“We’d like to do it with the votes of members of both parties,” Axelrod said. “But the worst result would be to not get health-care reform done.”

House Democrats today unveiled legislation totaling about $1 trillion that would expand health care to millions of Americans over the next decade by raising taxes on the wealthiest households. The Senate has yet to agree on a bill as Democratic lawmakers struggle to get Republican support.

Emanuel, making a theoretical case for a party-line vote, offered a definition of bipartisanship based not on roll-call votes but on whether Democrats have accepted Republican ideas during the process of negotiations.

And he said Democrats already have passed that test, pointing to Republican amendments that the Democratic-controlled Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee has adopted.

But, of course, there is political risk for the Democrats, particularly in the U.S. Senate.

I do not see a bipartisan, nationalization of health care and the demise of the health insurance industry on the horizon. The Democrats will blog and blather but political cover is all most of them are seeking.

Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi may ram the bill through but with little or NO GOP support. Thus, creating an issue for Republicans upon which to run in the 2010 midterm Congressional elections.

Republican must be licking their chops for a strong arm from Rahm Emanuel to keep Democrats in line with Obama.
