Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) running ad to defend his position for health insurance reform (Video)

I have to agree with Ben Smith on this one, Baucus running this ad and not up for re-election until 2014. After watching Frontline's Obama's Deal on PBS, Baucus came out as a backstabbing shrew, allowing former health care executives, now lobbyists to write the current health care insurance law. In other words, he did not come out smelling like a rose.

In Mexico City, Obama will initiate an international campaign to encourage young people to take more active roles in their communities. She arrived in Mexico City shortly after 8 p.m. local time Tuesday, greeted by U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual and Mexico's ambassador to the United States, Arturo Sarukhan.

Obama's visit will include building on her conversation with Mexican first lady Margarita Zavala in areas of mutual interests, the White House said.

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.
