Barack Obama, enough Kool-Aid already, Robert Gibbs, slobbering US media bias

Memo to US Press secetary Robert Gibbs

1. Congratulations. Your presidential regime has managed to secure the most supine, slobbering, spineless, unquestioning media coverage since Enver Hoxha’s Albania. A report last month by the Center for Media and Public Affairs said Obama has received more coverage than his two predecessors combined. On ABC, CBS and NBC news the majority of evaluations – 58 per cent – have been favourable. (Compare GW Bush – 33 per cent; Bill Clinton 44 per cent – in first 50 days of office). More importantly, you have Pravda. Yes, no less than 73 per cent of all evaluative comments in your chief propaganda organ – aka The New York Times – have been favourable to Obama.

2. Sure your congenitally libtard Mainstream Media were probably biased that way anyway, but you have played your part. Your combative style – which led you to dismiss the entire British print media just now in one glib, sneering phrase – has earned you the nickname “The Enforcer.” You have a reputation for coming down hard on any media outlet which doesn’t follow your approved version of reality. “I work the referee a little bit,” as you once put it. (A reference, perhaps, to when you played goalkeeper for your college football team).

3. If you are going to make clever-sounding football references displaying your rich understanding of the British press, try to get your terminology right. We call it the “Champions League.” Not the “Champions League cup.”

4. That’s only the beginning of your problems, matey. Your treatment not just of the British media but of Britain generally smacks of a risible ineptitude. First, you let President Obama send back the Winston Churchill bust. Then, you insult our visiting prime minister with a dismally low-key reception (worthy of a minor African head of state, not your closest and most loyal ally) and shoddy gifts (those DVDs). Then you compound the insult by having one of your monkeys declare, Chicago-politics-style, “”There’s nothing special about Britain. You’re just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn’t expect special treatment.” OK so we know Obama’s not much interested in foreign affairs and has a special loathing for Britain because it roughed up his Kenyan granddad during the Mau Mau insurrection. But don’t you realise, that one of your jobs as his press secretary is to make out like he loves us so much even his underpants have a union flag on them?

5. Insulting the British print media. Big mistake. We know we’re not angels. We know we can go over the top sometimes. But unfortunately that’s a much bigger problem for you than it is for us. You see, while a lot of your mainstream media will hold fire on stories which they think may reflect poorly on your wondrous Obamamessiah – what his half-brother has been up to, say – we have fewer qualms about telling it like it is. So far, you’ve had a pretty easy ride. The Obama Kool Aid has proved almost as popular beverage in Britain as it is in the US. But just you wait till we start showing our teeth.

6. A lot of Americans know this. They appreciate our irreverence. They enjoy our frank criticisms of all the myriad areas where Obama is getting it so badly wrong – everything from his disastrous cap and trade measures, to his brutal treatment of Chrysler dealerships which didn’t support him, to his pork barrelling, to his failure to do anything that looks remotely like rescuing the US economy. That’s why they come to read us online: because they can and there’s nothing you can do to stop them.

7. We had a guy just like you over here once. Guy named Alastair Campbell. Did for our now heavily discredited prime minister Tony Blair what you do for Obama: a little light press bullying; professional turd polishing; that kind of thing. We hated Alastair Campbell, really loathed him. But he got away with bullying us because in those days we didn’t know any better. We were still going through this sort of dumb-cattle phase where we still had some vestigial respect for politicians and trust that they knew what they were doing.

8. But we don’t respect politicians any more. Not our politicians, and not yours either. Imagine how this new strain of irreverence bordering on utter contempt is going to affect our reporting of political affairs. Actually, you’ve no need to imagine. Just read some of our Telegraph blogs.

Good morning Murphy,

**** Off topic ****

At the risk of ruffling some fur, I have an important housekeeping question …

Murphy, have the FEC issues in the links below been taken care of? If PUMAs are going to promote honest financial accountably, I think it’s VERY important for this pac to be open and transparent with the FEC records.

Granted, I was pretty broke this past year, so I haven’t donated as much as some, but I have managed to donate about $100 bucks to PUMApac over the past 10 months.

The credibly of this group will be damaged if this kind of stuff isn’t a priority. Just saying.

New Solar Cycle Prediction

According to the forecast, the sun should remain generally calm for at least another year. From a research point of view, that’s good news because solar minimum has proven to be more interesting than anyone imagined. Low solar activity has a profound effect on Earth’s atmosphere, allowing it to cool and contract.

Meanwhile, the sun pays little heed to human committees.

Talk about damaging ones credibility.

DancesWithPumas #20,

The last PUMApac quarterly report on the FEC site is July 2008. You can go to the site and check it yourself. I have no agenda here, and there is no need to be secretive with my question and with Murphy’s answer. I would hope that Murphy would agree that she has nothing to hide from us or any lurkers.

Sotomayor is an anti-US Constitutionalist who ruled in Maloney v. Cuomo that private citizens do not have Second Amendment rights. Sotomayor ruled that states do not have to obey the Second Amendment and that an individual’s right to keep and bear arms (as stated in the Amendment) is not protected.

Obama’s support for the new Graham-Lieberman secrecy law

It was one thing when President Obama reversed himself last month by announcing that he would appeal the Second Circuit’s ruling that the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) compelled disclosure of various photographs of detainee abuse sought by the ACLU. Agree or disagree with Obama’s decision, at least the basic legal framework of transparency was being respected, since Obama’s actions amounted to nothing more than a request that the Supreme Court review whether the mandates of FOIA actually required disclosure in this case. But now — obviously anticipating that the Government is likely to lose in court again (.pdf) — Obama wants Congress to change FOIA by retroactively narrowing its disclosure requirements, prevent a legal ruling by the courts, and vest himself with brand new secrecy powers under the law which, just as a factual matter, not even George Bush sought for himself.

O’Reilly’s campaign against murdered doctor
By Gabriel Winant

May 31, 2009 | When his show airs tomorrow, Bill O’Reilly will most certainly decry the death of Kansas doctor George Tiller, who was killed Sunday while attending church services with his wife. Tiller, O’Reilly will say, was a man who was guilty of barbaric acts, but a civilized society does not resort to lawless murder, even against its worst members. And O’Reilly, we can assume, will genuinely mean this.

But there’s no other person who bears as much responsibility for the characterization of Tiller as a savage on the loose, killing babies willy-nilly thanks to the collusion of would-be sophisticated cultural elites, a bought-and-paid-for governor and scofflaw secular journalists. Tiller’s name first appeared on “The Factor” on Feb. 25, 2005. Since then, O’Reilly and his guest hosts have brought up the doctor on 28 more episodes, including as recently as April 27 of this year. Almost invariably, Tiller is described as “Tiller the Baby Killer.”

O’Reilly’s campaign against murdered doctor

O’Really is my least favorite terrorist!

The more I learn, the more I despise this evil, manipulative man named Obama…

In an excerpt from his book, Renegade, Daily Beast columnist Richard Wolffe reveals a tarmac showdown with Hillary and an unknown summit with Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

…at Reagan National Airport. Clinton asked to talk to Obama and she apologized to him for comments by her New Hampshire co-chairman. Billy Shaheen had suggested that Republicans would exploit Obama’s self-confessed drug use if he won the nomination. Such comments had no place in her campaign, Clinton assured Obama, and Shaheen would resign. But Obama was not satisfied: he felt it was part of a pattern, which included an email forwarded by a Clinton volunteer in Iowa, suggesting that he was Muslim. Clinton grew agitated, waving her arms and poking her finger at him, as she hurled his own negativity back at him. Wasn’t he the one who just called her disingenuous for saying she couldn’t release her own White House papers? Wasn’t it his donor, David Geffen, who accused her and her husband of lying with ease? Instead of responding with anger, Obama tried to chill his rival, placing a hand on her arm. Clinton recoiled from the gesture, which seemed either patronizing or restraining, or both. Obama boarded his plane with a new sense of wonder. “I never saw that look of concern in her eyes before,” he told his senior aides. “I think we can we can win this one.”

Suspect Identified in Killing of Doctor

JOE STUMPE and MONICA DAVEY
Published: June 1, 2009
WICHITA, Kan. — The suspect in the fatal shooting of one of the nation’s only doctors to perform late-term abortions had professed an anti-government, anti-abortion philosophy in years past, some who knew him said on Monday.

Dr. George Tiller, one of the nation’s few late-term-abortion providers, was killed Sunday in church.

Scott Roeder, 51, of Merriam, Kan., whom authorities have described as a suspect in Sunday’s fatal shooting here of George Tiller, was once a subscriber and occasional contributor to a newsletter, Prayer and Action News, said Dave Leach, an anti-abortion activist from Des Moines who runs the newsletter. Mr. Leach said that he had met Mr. Roeder once, and that Mr. Roeder had described similar views to his own on abortion.

Commenting on Dr. Tiller’s death, Mr. Leach said, “To call this a crime is too simplistic.” He added, “There is Christian scripture that would support this.”

White House Seeks a Proper Invitation for the Queen
By Helene Cooper

According to reports, Queen Elizabeth is decidedly displeased that she was not invited to the commemorations of the D-Day landings.The Obama administration is working with their French counterparts to make sure that Britain’s Queen Elizabeth — reportedly miffed, according to the British Press, at not being invited to the D-Day anniversary festivities in Normandy this weekend — gets a formal invitation.

Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, said on Monday that President Obama thinks the queen should be present at the event on Saturday. “We are working with those involved to see if we can make that happen,” Mr. Gibbs said.

Britain was helping France long before we got involved and lost a lot of soldiers during the invasion too. Why shouldn’t the queen be there? Or do you mean the oidontbelieveinwarletsfight guy getting involved? The French wanted it to be an Anglo-American Day (not sure why).

In fact, the young princess Elizabeth served her time during the war as all the royals do. She worked with other WACS and was treated as they were – except that a limo dropped her off each morning and came for her each night. Sarko and Oba weren’t even born then.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that he does not believe Saddam Hussein was involved in the planning or execution of the September 11, 2001, attacks.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney says Saddam Hussein “provided sanctuary … and resources to terrorists.”

He strongly defended the Bush administration’s decision to invade Iraq, however, arguing that Hussein’s previous support for known terrorists was a serious danger after 9/11.

Cheney, in an appearance at the National Press Club, also said he is intent on speaking out in defense of the Bush administration’s national security record because “a clear understanding of policies that worked [in protecting the United States] is essential.”

“I do not believe and have never seen any evidence to confirm that [Hussein] was involved in 9/11. We had that reporting for a while, [but] eventually it turned out not to be true,” Cheney conceded.

But Hussein was “somebody who provided sanctuary and safe harbor and resources to terrorists. … [It] is, without question, a fact.”

Ditto on that one, for sure!

At least the French are inviting us to the celebration this time. My husband (then boyfriend) and I just happened to be in Paris in August of 1985 (we had just taken the Bar Exam and were traveling around). There was a big celebration for the Liberation of Paris, but we noticed that all the flags and military parades were 100% French. I remember looking at my husband and noting that it was great to celebrate the French liberating themselves.

Oblahblah’s Statement –

From the White House:
LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER PRIDE MONTH, 2009

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
Forty years ago, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City resisted police harassment that had become all too common for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Out of this resistance, the LGBT rights movement in America was born. During LGBT Pride Month, we commemorate the events of June 1969 and commit to achieving equal justice under law for LGBT Americans.

LGBT Americans have made, and continue to make, great and lasting contributions that continue to strengthen the fabric of American society. There are many well-respected LGBT leaders in all professional fields, including the arts and business communities. LGBT Americans also mobilized the Nation to respond to the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic and have played a vital role in broadening this country’s response to the HIV pandemic.

Due in no small part to the determination and dedication of the LGBT rights movement, more LGBT Americans are living their lives openly today than ever before. I am proud to be the first President to appoint openly LGBT candidates to Senate-confirmed positions in the first 100 days of an Administration. These individuals embody the best qualities we seek in public servants, and across my Administration — in both the White House and the Federal agencies — openly LGBT employees are doing their jobs with distinction and professionalism.

The LGBT rights movement has achieved great progress, but there is more work to be done. LGBT youth should feel safe to learn without the fear of harassment, and LGBT families and seniors should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect.

My Administration has partnered with the LGBT community to advance a wide range of initiatives. At the international level, I have joined efforts at the United Nations to decriminalize homosexuality around the world. Here at home, I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans. These measures include enhancing hate crimes laws, supporting civil unions and Federal rights for LGBT couples, outlawing discrimination in the workplace, ensuring adoption rights, and ending the existing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in a way that strengthens our Armed Forces and our national security. We must also commit ourselves to fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic by both reducing the number of HIV infections and providing care and support services to people living with HIV/AIDS across the United States.

These issues affect not only the LGBT community, but also our entire Nation. As long as the promise of equality for all remains unfulfilled, all Americans are affected. If we can work together to advance the principles upon which our Nation was founded, every American will benefit. During LGBT Pride Month, I call upon the LGBT community, the Congress, and the American people to work together to promote equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2009 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists….

Sincerely, Homofauxbama

My Administration has partnered with the LGBT community to advance a wide range of initiatives. At the international level, I have joined efforts at the United Nations to decriminalize homosexuality around the world. Here at home, I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans. These measures include enhancing hate crimes laws, supporting civil unions and Federal rights for LGBT couples, outlawing discrimination in the workplace, ensuring adoption rights, and ending the existing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in a way that strengthens our Armed Forces and our national security.

Continue to support? Really? Gee thanks! You’re such a swell kinda guy, Obama. Damn I’m so glad you’re sitting in that White House and continuing to support my rights! I’m touched!

This morning at a press conference to kick off Pride Month in NYC, Speaker of the New York City Council Christine Quinn – an open lesbian – said that her sense after talking with Albany lawmakers is that gay marriage will pass this session, perhaps by New York’s celebration of the 40th anniversary of Stonewall.

Gay marriage debate complicates SF mayor’s future
By The Associated Press

(Sacramento) San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has been linked to gay marriage ever since he directed city clerks to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2004. Now he’s running for governor and trying to broaden his appeal, but fate appears to be working against him.

The state Supreme Court’s decision to uphold California’s constitutional ban on gay marriage – and the prospect that an impassioned initiative to overturn it could share the ballot with next year’s governor’s race – holds consequences for candidates from both parties, but especially for the one most deeply associated with the issue.

The intensity of a statewide vote on same-sex marriage could make it difficult for Newsom to connect with centrist voters, millions of whom voted no on the issue last year.

CHEEZUZ… That PHONYASS TWO BIT HUCKSTER in the Oval Office proclaims this Pride Month??? Well, the LGBT Community proclaimed it Pride Month a long long time ago, you are a little late to the party, you lying buffoon.

Declaring Pride Month, and doing something, anything substantial are two different things dipshit!!!

Geez, DeadGirl…
a mind (and time) is a terrible thing to waste, especially on small minion slime

I was premature. I took a peek at the BBC and discovered an interview obyethewayIamprez gave “because his team want to reach the parts of the world the BBC reaches – with a message that is nuanced and thoughtful.”
I couldn’t resist writing a few words about how he thinks the MSM here is incapable of nuance and thought.

my brief post is at catsden.wordpress.com

the BBC article is here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8078217.stm

Now I really am getting off the computer. Goodnight HP and Dances and DeadGirl (you REALLY do mean business).

No I don’t expect Obama to say “Okay no problem, let it out of the vault Governor Lingle”. But we MUST keep the pressure up on the White House and this topic as public as possible. Here is your chance to do something that will take two minutes and is free!

Below is the World Net Daily alert on the site. Regardless of how you feel about the super-conservative WND they are right on this one, and with the exception of Fox the last couple of days, the only media outlet reporting on this.

9 weeks old when the ship went down, her father with it.

Did anyone check today on the Andy Martin new conference on Sonia Sotomayer. It was certainly not what I expected. In fact it might be good for her to get this out in public if it is true. I do not see this as a big problem today. There is suppose to be another report tomorrow. Anyway for completeness here is today’s report. If this report is true it might provide a good discussion here on PUMA.

MARTIN SAYS SOTOMAYOR MAY HAVE ENGAGED IN A “SHAM” MARRIAGE AND OTHER ACTIONS TO CONCEAL HER SEXUAL IDENTITY

IS A VOTE FOR SOTOMAYOR A VOTE TO APPROVE GAY MARRIAGE AT THE U. S. SUPREME COURT?

MARTIN SUGGESTS SOTOMAYOR IS A “DEEPLY-CLOSETED” LESBIAN OR, POSSIBLY, A “COUGAR-STYLE” SEXUAL PREDATOR

SONIA SOTOMAYOR HEADS TOWARDS AN “ADVISE AND CONSENT” MOMENT

Sotomayor’s “boy toys” could be evidence of inability to function in a normal male-female environment or, once again, “beards” designed to conceal her deeply-closeted sexuality.

Whether Sotomayor is deeply-closeted, a factor that may be explained by the fact her legal career began in an era when lesbianism was potentially disqualifying behavior and therefore deeply repressed and suppressed, or whether she is a frustrated “cougar” whose predatory “boy toy” sexuality takes more from a skit on Saturday Night Live than what is expected of a U. S. (Second) Circuit Judge, or a Supreme Court justice, remains to be finally proven.

Either alternative raises serous questions about Sotomayor’s character and personal behavior that need to be fully explored by the United States Senate.

For example, both supporters and opponents of gay marriage have a right to know whether Sotomayor’s secret life reflects a disqualifying bias on that controversial issue.

Our investigation is continuing. We invite responses from persons having knowledge of Sotomayor’s “secret life.”

TUESDAY: “The Secret Life of Sonia Sotomayor, Part II”

This article by Pravda “American capitalism gone with a Whimper” doesn’t surprise me a bit. I live in an area highly populated with refugees from the former Soviet Union. Many of them came out in support of Hillary Clinton then and or for John McCain. They all seemed to have one thing in common; they recognized Obama as a Marxist. This artical is chilling. I thought that the 5th paragraph described Obama’s former church to a tee.

“It must be said. that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed…..”

I love it — Sotomayor gets confirmed then comes out as a lesbian and is the BEST damn SCJ ever — well, I did love Sandra Day …………. it would be hard to beat her. Plus I am still mad at Sotomayor for her “better” than comment.

Those media numbers are way suspicious. The press was LESS ENAMOURED of W than of Clinton?????Heloooo? Does anyone remember all the “gates” they were being fabricated daily against Clinton? Travelgate? Haircutgate? Troopergate? To culminate with Whitewater initiated by NY Times reporter Jeff Gerth?
Was W not loved by the media? Anyone remembers the coverage of W vs Gore during the election? The heroic W after 9.11?
OT, Obama gets a defense from one of his base

She Plays With Boys, and Rivals Don’t Like It

Chris Lacopo, who coaches the Horace Mann team, which lost to Beacon in the semifinals, offered a different assessment. “It’s great for a boy to deal with a really good girl player,” Mr. Lacopo said. “In order to play her, you just have to say she’s just a tennis player. She’s not a girl, just an opponent who’s going to be hitting the ball back.”

Ms. Berner’s days of playing with the boys may be over. On Monday, she resumes against female competition as the top-seeded girl playing in the individual — as opposed to team — Mayor’s Cup tournament. She will join the University of Wisconsin women’s tennis team in the fall.

===================================================
Oh my she is just a “girl” but did they mention she plays like a WOMAN! fuck them you go Hannah but you don’t need me to tell YOU that!

Sotomayor’s “boy toys” could be evidence of inability to function in a normal male-female environment or, once again, “beards” designed to conceal her deeply-closeted sexuality.

======================================
Holy crap this jumped out at me! hey boy you are doctor to the weird right? Dr. Kinsey is that you?
A load of crap!

simofish- I remember crying with joy when Sandra Day O’Conor was nominated and then I remember crying with rage when her vote ‘selected’ Bush as president. IIRC, she made horrible comments during the oral argument dissing stupid voters that could not read the flawed butterfly ballot. While I want at least 5 women on the Supreme Court, I completely lost respect for that particular one.

MAblue at TC had a pic of a scantily clad young girl at the top of his *breakfast read* post this morning.

The picture has now been removed and replaced with a black and white of a newsboy.

His comment, which said that he would remove the pic of the girl if anyone found it offensive, has also been removed.
(Why, if he even thought it would be offensive to readers, did he put it there in the first place??)

A few days ago, in the same *breakfast read* column, he referred to someone as a “whining little bitch.”
When a female commenter objected he amended the post and belittled her for being offended.
He was later forced to remove both the amended phrase and the attack on the commenter.

I will continue to boycott this offensive crap.

FU MAblue.

In part, don’t life experiences form our political, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, perspectives? Aren’t they part of what makes one chose one political position / party over others? If not, why would presidents chose one candidate over another as a nominee for SCJ? Couldn’t they just select a high;y qualified candidate out of a hat instead?

Andy Martin’s positions are not interesting in the least. The anti-semitic is focusing on the sensationalism of of “lesbianism”. (BFD). Instead of invading Sonia Sotomayor’s privacy via her sexual proclivities / orientation, maybe he should direct his energies toward lesbians/ gay equality.
Then, sexual preference/orientation wouldn’t be a potentially disqualifying factor.

Funny how they use their best fantasies as ammunition for their attacks.

hmmm…yeah, like that.

ps andy martin go back to your hole.

Souter’s wife seemed to be non-existent, but I do not remember people going through his trash trying to better understand his ‘deeply closeted sexuality”.

================================
At least That One has a wife so he can hide his “deeply closeted sexuality.” No one will question Souter his trash is safe.
Meanwhile Sotomayor is being trashed………

Obama’s Rattner loots GM pension fund to pay off banksters
Tue, 06/02/2009 – 7:48am — lambert
I’m shocked. Greg Palast:

Here’s the scheme: Rattner is demanding the bankruptcy court simply wipe away the money GM owes workers for their retirement health insurance. Cash in the insurance fund would be replaced by GM stock. The percentage may be 17% of GM’s stock – or 25%. Whatever, 17% or 25% is worth, well … just try paying for your dialysis with 50 shares of bankrupt auto stock.

Yet Citibank and Morgan, says Rattner, should get their whole enchilada – $6 billion right now and in cash – from a company that can’t pay for auto parts or worker eye exams.

So what’s wrong with seizing workers’ pension fund money in a bankruptcy? The answer, Mr. Obama, Mr. Law Professor, is that it’s illegal.

Obama to Israel: ‘Part of Being a Good Friend Is Being Honest’
Political Punch: Obama explains his tough-love approach with ally Israel.

In an interview that aired last night and this morning, President Obama told NPR that in terms of the U.S. relationship with Israel, “part of being a good friend is being honest. And I think there have been times where we are not as honest as we should be about the fact that the current direction, the current trajectory in the region, is profoundly negative – not only for Israeli interests but also U.S. interests. And that’s part of a new dialogue that I’d like to see encouraged in the region.”

Later today the president will fly to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he will

White House frames health care as economic problem

WASHINGTON – Fixing the economy requires overhauling the U.S. health care system, a White House report concludes — just the message the administration needs to help implement a sweeping new social welfare program during a recession.

The report by the White House Council of Economic Advisers says that health care costs — now about 18 percent of the gross domestic product — will rise to 34 percent in 30 years if left unchecked, wreaking havoc on the federal deficit, businesses and working Americans.

“Health care reform is incredibly important not just for the American people but for the American economy,” said Christina Romer, chairwoman of the Council of Economic Advisers. “Good health care reform is essentially good economic policy.”

Critics were quick to dismiss the report.

“Everyone agrees that reducing the cost of health care would benefit our economy, but the administration hasn’t offered a credible plan to do so without raising taxes or rationing care,” said House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio.

I happen to not support amnesty for illegal immigrants, but that is actually not relevant.

I posted the article because it reminds us to be aware of possible preconcieved notions around “identity politics” … identity compared to what?
