Uninsured Figures Overhype The Lack Of Health Coverage

Posted by Always To The Right on Saturday, June 27, 2009 7:55:48 PM

President Obama rarely misses a chance to stress that 46 million people in the U.S. lack health coverage. But the actual number of chronically uninsured Americans is far less, experts say.

Cardinal Rule

Posted by Always To The Right on Wednesday, June 24, 2009 2:41:41 PM

Obama negotiating with terrorists for hostages?

The cardinal rule, and until now the official policy of the US, is clear: We do not negotiate with terrorists.  To do so only encourages more terrorism and makes civilians more vulnerable, as their value increases as hostages.  It also gives more credibility to the terrorists and places them at the level of nation-states in diplomacy, which allows them to attract recruits.

And, as we see here, it also doesn’t work.  It doesn’t moderate terrorists, and it doesn’t satisfy their demands.  As the Israelis keep discovering, it usually results in the exchange of live terrorists for the corpses of the innocent. It ensures more corpses down the road as well.

Obama Claims The Stimulus Legislation Will Do All Sorts Of Things. But There Are No Guarantees

Posted by Always To The Right on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 1:10:11 PM
In recent weeks, in his pitches to Congress and the public on the need to pass the economic stimulus bill, Obama has made several claims about what it would do. (Republicans, too, have made stimulus boasts of their own.) But these pronouncements are not a sure thing:
  • Obama repeatedly said the plan "will save or create up to 4 million jobs." Obama downgraded that estimate to 3.5 million once the House and Senate agreed on a less-expensive compromise bill. The projections come from at least three economists, but all say there is great uncertainty in their estimates.

  • Republican House members claimed their substitute legislation tops that, creating "6.2 million jobs." But their calculation is even more fraught with uncertainty and is not backed up by independent economists.

  • Obama said the bill doesn't contain "a single earmark." But whether one calls them "earmarks" or not, the Senate certainly added items that will benefit particular states. For example: $50 million for programs under the California-Bay Delta Act and $500 million for National Institutes of Health facilities in Bethesda, Md.

  • Obama claims that funds in the bill will result in "every American" having health records computerized "within five years." But experts doubt it can be done that quickly.

  • The president also says electronic health records will save billions of dollars. But the Congressional Budget Office says that even a decade of expected savings are unlikely to pay back the government what the government will spend on health IT.

  • The president said the bill will modernize the nation's electricity grid, reducing consumption by 2 percent to 4 percent. That's optimistic. Industry reports say that a new grid could reduce energy consumption by up to 4 percent, but not until 2030 and at a cost much greater than the stimulus bill would cover.

“The Hamas Leaders Want Peace.”

Posted by Always To The Right on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 11:15:22 PM

Video: Useful idiot makes himself useful to Hamas

No surprise. He’s been making himself useful to them for years, from accusing Israel of apartheid to lying about the history of U.S. policy towards Hamas to insisting on national television that the group can be trusted to literally embracing their scumbag leadership and finally to blithely asserting here that Hamas’s leaders “want peace,” based on what evidence I can scarcely imagine. I wish he’d have elaborated on his point about the F-16s, though. I’m curious to know whether he thinks the solution there is to stop selling arms to Israel or to start selling arms to Hamas.

Oh, and he also wants them taken off the State Department’s terror list, naturally.

Lieberman opposes public plan in ObamaCare

Joe Lieberman has had plenty of experience in enraging his fellow Democrats by maintaining an independent if still liberal viewpoint on policies from national security to war.  Harry Reid will have yet another headache after Lieberman’s interview with Bloomberg, in which he firmly opposed the public plan in ObamaCare, which Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama have pushed hard.  Lieberman says he sees no need for government to enter into this market, as The Hill reports

Maliciously Incompetent

BBC: US deliberately kept Britain in the dark over Uighurs, Bermuda

Yesterday, when the news broke that the British were “pissed” about Barack Obama’s dump of four of the Gitmo Uighurs onto Bermuda, the White House tried to spin it by claiming they thought Bermuda’s premier had included the UK in their end of the discussions.  The BBC reports today that their sources inside the White House dispute that.  Obama deliberately kept London in the dark until he thought he had a fait accompli -but the White House now claims it was for the UK’s own good

It’s a highly unusual move, all right.  I don’t recall the last time an ally sent trained terrorists into a territory for which the other ally had responsibility for security without their permission.  Why?  Because it hasn’t ever happened before now.

So, to our British friends: how does it feel to have Obama make security decisions about your territory without bothering to consult you at all?  The liberal press in the UK used to deride Tony Blair as George Bush’s poodle; what does that make Gordon Brown in relation to Barack Obama?  It’s a good thing that arrogant Bushisn’t running things in Washington any more, huh?
