PBS' Frontline: Obama's Deal (Video)

If all you suspected about the new health care law is here.

Barack Obama abandoned the public option EARLY and caved to a MANDATE to make a deal with the insurance companies.

Will he pay a political price? In my eyes, yes. For me, he is a hypocrite and all these deals will make you sick. In the end, the health care law is not the best we could have gotten, but what the lobbyists and insurance industry was willing to give us. So, did our voices matter? For me, NO. This White House did not listen to me.

Bill Moyers calls for draft if President Obama escalates the troops in Afghanistan (Video)

The reality is that we are not going to win in Afghanistan without MORE PEOPLE. As long as Obama continues to do what George W. Bush did, rinse and repeating the reserves in this country, he is no better than George W. Bush.

We have been over there for 8 years, and please don't tell me that we did not have a plan, I know that, but the fact and reality is that 8 years is 8 years. Does anyone think 40,000 troops are going to help over there? I don't. We need about half million to make any type of dent, but don't have the numbers.

What will Barack Obama do? Work for peace? Or continue the beating drums of a war we will NEVER WIN.

President Obama's memo to Wall Street during NY fundraiser (Video)

The financial industry joining the White House on financial reform? Folks, you think health care is a fight? The money is already flowing HEAVY through the halls of congress on NO CHANGE after the disastrous irresponsibility of Wall Street. In other words, the rich folks want to remain, RICH. It was Wall Street, the banking industry that paid so much money for deregulation it happened. Does it mean every time Wall Street 'eff up that we, the taxpayer are supposed to bail these rich crooks out? Hell to the naw, on that one, from me, but we saw what happened with Bush and Obama. This industry needs to be regulated and heavy. I don't want another dime going to these crooks. This is the industry that believes heavily in the free market and capitalism, yet they came running to the very government that they despise to save them. After what has happened, regulate them to the mo-fo hilt.



And if you don't get it? Watch the PBS Frontline: The Warning. After watching this you will scratch your head and ask, "Why are the same people who KNEW this was happening are still around? Like in the Obama Administration?"
