Yes, Obama’s agenda is socialist in a broad sense. The Obama administration may not have planned on seizing the means of automobile production or asserting managerial control over Wall Street. But when faced with the choice, it did both. Obama did explicitly plan on imposing a massive restructuring of one-sixth of the U.S. economy through the use of state fiat—and he is beginning to do precisely that.

Incremental socialisim or what used to be called "CREEPING SOCIALISM"

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer today signed into law an immigration bill that gives the state toughest law in the nation, making it a state crime to be in the country illegally and requiring local police to enforce federal immigration laws.
Brewer said she signed the bill in response to "the crisis the federal government has refused to fix.''

Hispanic leaders addressing the hundreds of protesters at the Capitol immediately vowed to wage a legal fight, and Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon said he wants the city to sue.

Time for the immigration debate to begin anew.

A fundraiser for Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman today at the Sutter Club in Sacramento drew the second installment of the nurses union's traveling Queen Meg protest road show, which debuted last night in Beverly Hills.
As Whitman, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and their supporters met in the club, several dozen nurses, state employees and others made a ruckus on the sidewalk, holding signs reading "Queen Meg, Rich Enough to Rule! 2010."

The California Nurses Association UNION has become a far left political organization. Note the Saul Alinksy tactics.
You know, it will be quite easy to turn it around and ridicule Jerry Moonbeam Brown. I can hardly wait.

President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law is getting a mixed verdict in the first comprehensive look by neutral experts: More Americans will be covered, but costs are also going up.
Economic experts at the Health and Human Services Department concluded in a report issued Thursday that the health care remake will achieve Obama's aim of expanding health insurance — adding 34 million to the coverage rolls.
But the analysis also found that the law falls short of the president's twin goal of controlling runaway costs, raising projected spending by about 1 percent over 10 years. That increase could get bigger, since Medicare cuts in the law may be unrealistic and unsustainable, the report warned.

Democrats will wear ObamaCare around their necks for a decade or more – like an albatross

The Service Employees Union International (SEIU) fashions itself as the modern radical LEFT. In the 1950′s it would be called “RED” after Soviet Union styled workers Communism.
Let’s look at Andy Stern who had been this union’s leader since 1996.
I doubt many Americans understand the “RED” influence on today’s labor unions and particularly ones who represent government and quasi-government employees.
But, American voters DO have the right to know who is influencing President Obama and the Democrat Congressional leadership and their push to expand the role of government.

Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, who has been attacked and repeatedly threatened over a drawing of Prophet Mohammed, has been placed on indefinite leave by his newspaper "for security reasons," he told AFP Thursday.
"It is forced vacation but it looks a lot like I'm being retired," the 75-year-old cartoonist said, adding that he himself still had an "insatiable desire" to work.

And, work he should be allowed to do. Come to the US?

The American Future Fund is in the midst of a massive statewide independent expenditure in the Republican primary for United States Senate. Their efforts, for now, seem entirely devoted to "voter education" on the background of candidate Tom Campbell. Their efforts include a television spot (which is at the bottom of this post) and also includes a direct mail campaign. The mail piece immediately below was received in my mailbox yesterday. It features longtime FR friend Jon Coupal, President of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. They also have launched a website — TomISTheTaxMan.com.

And, statewide absentee ballots will be mailed within a few weeks. The polls will not be able to keep up with the fast paced media campaign in the next 6 weeks before the primary election.

Former Rep. Tom Campbell has opened up a double-digit lead over his two rivals for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination, while Meg Whitman maintains a wide margin over Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner in the GOP gubernatorial battle.
The results were part of a new Capitol Weekly/Probolsky Research poll conducted jointly by Republican pollster Adam Probolsky and Democratic pollster Ben Tulchin.
+++++++
The poll is almost two weeks old and paid media is just beginning in the Senate race.

The hidden business costs of Obamacare are now just being “exposed.”
A breast feeding station in a bar or a club is something that I want to see.
