Two weeks after President Barack Obama signed the big health care overhaul into law, Americans are struggling to understand how — and when — the sweeping measure will affect them.
Questions reflecting confusion have flooded insurance companies, doctors' offices, human resources departments and business groups.
"They're saying, 'Where do we get the free Obama care, and how do I sign up for that?' " said Carrie McLean, a licensed agent for eHealthInsurance.com. The California-based company sells coverage from 185 health insurance carriers in 50 states.

Just wait until the physicians start to retire and nobody accepts the government payments/reimbursements

During the George W. Bush Presidency, dissent was called, by the Left, the highest form of patriotism. Now, with President Obama dissent is called racist, mean-spirited and a number of other epithets. Who knows what law enforcement agencies are being used to investigate the dissenters from the RIGHT, including the Tea Parties?

Yup. The negative opinion many in the CRA have of Carly Fiorina is because of Chuck DeVore’s characterization of her.
Having met Fiorina in person – she has been groosly underestimated and mis-characterized by the DeVore campaign. But, that’s politics, right? Jam the truth in a corner when it interferes with strategy.
I think Chuck DeVore is a fraud. He is not the Conservative Icon he wants to portray himself as. He is running a taxpayer-subsidized campaign and flip-flopped on tax increases when it became apparent that Chuck DeVore was going to face Carly Fiorina in the primary.
He even chickened out on a campaign promise to oppose Uber-Liberal Republican Abel Maldonado’s confirmation to Lt. Governor.

Yes, I would have to agree. And, his spokeshole Josh Trevino too has been trashing fellow conservatives. Two peas in a pod.

President Obama’s revamping of American nuclear policy is the mark of an “inept†leader intent on living a “left-wing dream,†says Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, in an interview with National Review Online. “A nuclear-free world has been a 60-year dream of the Left, just like socialized health-care. This new policy, like Obama’s government-run health program, is a big step in that direction.â€
“President Obama thinks we can all hold hands, sing songs, and have peace symbols,†Giuliani says. “North Korea and Iran are not singing along with the president. Knowing that, it just doesn’t make sense why we would reduce our nuclear arms when we face these threats.â€

The nuclear freeze all over again except the Left has the power of the Presidency

When the dot-com bubble burst in the late 1990s, a shock wave went through every high-tech board room in the U.S. CEOs were faced with critical decisions that would affect their companies' future for years to come. Many simply hunkered down to wait out the recession. Some, like Intel, doubled down on research and development and capital spending to increase new product flow.
Under Carly Fiorina, Hewlett-Packard recognized that the computer industry needed consolidation and engineered the largest high-tech merger in history, combining HP and Compaq. There were plenty of skeptics to the bold actions taken by HP. But history has a way of straightening out the facts and the noted opinions of outside experts.
The merger of HP and Compaq was an unqualified success. It helped transform HP into the largest computer manufacturer in the world and provided a strong foundation for HP's current success under its very capable management team.

Sort of dispels the notion that Carly = failure

Sometimes we are spared the unintended consequences of government meddling. The California Air Resources Board, which plans to dictate massive changes to the economy, realized before it was too late how foolish its plans were to reduce motorists' carbon footprints by requiring reflective glaze on vehicle windows.
The so-called "cool-car" rules would have required a glaze to block sunlight and heat. The air board's thinking was based on the idea that less sunshine entering vehicles would require less air conditioning. Voila! Smaller carbon footprints.

Uhhhhh No.
Come on, the CHP does not enforce the car window tinting regulations as it is.

Via Allah Pundit but the whole video is too good to not reproduce here.
Rudy really makes Huffington look like an idiot and he didn’t even have to mention her former and gay husband’s disastrous race for California U.S. Senate or her inherited wealth from the divorce.
Geeez and this moron is throwing stones in whose glass house?

The shoe has dropped at the Republican National Committee – as it should have.
Republican National Committee chief of staff Ken McKay has resigned in the wake of a controversy over an expenditure at a risque California nightclub, RNC communications director Doug Heye said Monday.
McKay’s resignation comes one week after the Daily Caller Web site reported that the RNC’s January expenditure report included nearly $2,000 spent at Voyeur in West Hollywood, a topless nightclub.
RNC officials worked to distance Chairman Michael Steele from the controversy — insisting that not only was he not in attendance but that he had no knowledge of the reimbursement — and promised changes in the way that people were reimbursed by the committee.
McKay’s resignation appears to be the leading edge of those moves, and an attempt by Steele and the broader RNC to show donors worried about the stability of the committee that changes ares being made.
But, Michael Steele is responsible for this mess and may ultimately pay the price with his resignation.
This reminds us to be very skeptical of politicians and political parties – you know something about absolute power corrupting absolutely.
