    • California's supply of physicians has been growing faster than its population in recent years and now matches the national ratio. While specialists abound, however, primary care physicians are in relatively short supply and the squeeze could increase as older doctors retire and demand for care increases under the new federal health plan.

      So concludes a statistical report by the California Healthcare Foundation. "With large numbers of physicians nearing retirement," the foundation says, "and not all doctors taking patients with private or public insurance, those seeking care, especially in some regions, could have difficulty finding a provider."

      Nearly 30 percent of California's physicians are 60 years or older, a higher percentage than any other state, the study found, and the state is increasingly dependent on foreign-trained physicians.

      When ObamaCare goes into effect, many MD's will simply retire.

    • President Barack Obama acknowledges that the fall elections could amount to a referendum on his stewardship of the nation's affairs.

      Obama tells NBC in an interview that "nobody in the White House is satisfied" with continuing high unemployment.

      But he also says the midterm congressional elections could come down to "a choice between the policies that got us into this mess and my policies that got us out of this mess."

      The president said in the interview he believes voters "are going to say the policies that got us into this mess, we can't go back to." He also said Washington "has spent an inordinate amount of time on politics — who's up and who's down — and not enough on what we're doing for the American people."

    • Our monthly look at who GOP voters prefer as their 2012 nominee finds that Sarah Palin is the most popular potential Republican hopeful with the base…but that she finishes just fourth when it comes to who they want as their nominee. For the first time Newt Gingrich is the leader in this poll with 23%, followed by Mike Huckabee at 21%, Mitt Romney at 19%, Palin at 17%, and Ron Paul at 7%.

      If Sarah Palin decides not to run it will be a Gingrich vs. Romney shoot out.
    • In possibly the first inter-staff dust-up of the 2012 presidential race, an aide of Sarah Palin is hitting back at Mitt Romney’s camp for saying the former Alaska governor is “not a serious human being.”

      A “Romney intimate” was quoted by "Time" magazine’s Mark Halperin in a Thursday column as saying that Palin could not withstand the rigors of a presidential campaign.

      “If she’s standing up there in a debate and the answers are more than 15 seconds long, she’s in trouble,” the Romney intimate said.

      An additional Romney adviser was quoted as saying the former Massachusetts governor’s team is not intimidated by a possible Palin run. “She’s not a serious human being,” the adviser said.

      Sarah Palin will decimate Romney in Iowa and South Carolina and Mitt knows it.

    Sarah Palin’s 76% Favorability Tops GOP Presidential Field

    Sarah Palin waves to a crowd as she passes a road map of the Tea Party Express in April 2010

    Sarah Palin is polling very well as the 2012 Presidential field begins to shape up. Here are the numbers:

    But, among all Americans it is a bit of a different story. The numbers:

    It is still way too early to make any accurate predictions as President Rudy Giuliani can attest but Sarah Palin definitely has raised Mitt Romney’s attention.

    It’s On: Sarah Palin Vs. Mitt Romney for 2012

    Sarah Palin Vs. Mitt Romney

    It’s on for the 2012 Presidential nomination and Mitt Romney is not sitting back and letting Sarah Palin take it unscathed.

    In possibly the first inter-staff dust-up of the 2012 presidential race, an aide of Sarah Palin is hitting back at Mitt Romney’s camp for saying the former Alaska governor is “not a serious human being.”

    A “Romney intimate” was quoted by “Time” magazine’s Mark Halperin in a Thursday column as saying that Palin could not withstand the rigors of a presidential campaign.

    “If she’s standing up there in a debate and the answers are more than 15 seconds long, she’s in trouble,” the Romney intimate said.

    An additional Romney adviser was quoted as saying the former Massachusetts governor’s team is not intimidated by a possible Palin run. “She’s not a serious human being,” the adviser said.

    Since the piece Sarah Palin’s staff have responded and Mitt Romney has apologized – well sort of.

    But, it is very clear – IT IS ON for a Sarah Palin vs. Mitt Romney Presidential contest in 2012.

    Attorney Lynne Stewart Who Helped Egyptian Sheik Resentenced to 10 Years in Prison

    Lynne Stewart speaks to friends after leaving the courthouse in New York City September 1, 2005. Stewart, a New York attorney convicted of aiding terrorism by helping a client smuggle messages to militant followers, was sentenced to 28 months in prison on Monday

    Remember the FLAP?

    Well, Lynne Stewart was resentenced yesterday to ten years in prison.

    A judge had resentenced a 70-year-old civil rights lawyer to 10 years in prison for letting a jailed Egyptian sheik communicate with his radical followers.

    Federal Judge John Koeltl sentenced Lynne Stewart in Manhattan after she pleaded with him to reimpose the two-year, four-month sentence he had originally given her in 2006. She said she has been diminished since her November imprisonment.

    An appeals court had ordered a new sentencing, saying the judge needed to consider whether she committed perjury. Koeltl says she did and he says she lacked remorse after her first sentencing.

    Bye Bye Lynne – have fun cuddling with Lady Bubba.

    reported on her speech:

    And I thank you professor very much. I’m going to be engaging you with those very powerful numbers that you have offered on what the tea party recognizes, uh, or is recognized as. Might I add my own P.S.? All those who wore sheets a long time ago have now lifted them off and started wearing [applause], uh, clothing, uh, with a name, say, I am part of the tea party. Don’t you be fooled. [voices: “That’s right.”, applause] Those who used to wear sheets are now being able to walk down the aisle and speak as a patriot because you will not speak loudly about the lack of integrity of this movement. Don’t let anybody tell you that those who spit on us as we were walking to vote on a health care bill for all of America or those who said Congresswoman Jackson-Lee’s braids were too tight in her hair had anything to do with justice and equality and empowerment of the American people. Don’t let them fool you on that [applause]….

    So, to Obama and his minions, what happened to dissent is the highest former of patriotism mantra?

    I guess once you win office, you will do ANYTHING including charges of RACISM, to stay there.
