Putting Lipstick on the Obamacare Pig

John Fund  "Even formerly enthusiastic Democrats now predict a “train wreck.” "
"The Department of Health and Human Services has just handed out a $3.1 million PR contract to improve the public image of Obamacare. Advertising Age reports that the firm Weber Shandwick will help “roll out a campaign to convince skeptical — or simply confused — Americans the Affordable Care Act is good for them and convince them to enroll in a health plan.”
"Obama officials insist the ads won’t be political, but critics recall that just before the 2010 midterm election, HHS spent $3.2 million on “educational” TV ads praising Obamacare."

PROMISES, PROMISES: Obama's IOUs Start Coming Due

ABC News  "President Barack Obama paved his path to re-election with fewer promises than in 2008. The ones he did lay down, though, are meaty, legacy-shaping for him and consequential to ordinary lives today and for generations to come, for better or worse.
"They also are extraordinarily difficult to achieve in a time of gridlock grief and budgets that are tight when they are not paralyzed.
"He's promised to set a course in law against global warming, stop Iran from gaining the ability to make nuclear weapons, slash America's use of foreign oil, restrain college costs, take a big bite out of the national debt even while protecting the heart of the big entitlement programs and overhaul immigration law."

I Saw Something, So I'm Saying Something

American Thinker   "We're instructed to speak up about a bloodied man's movement under a boat tarp, but to shut up about the ideological movement that drove him to commit his carnage.
"Well, as it happens, I've seen quite a lot of things over the last few years that I'd like to say something about -- enough things to break a heart and to kill a country."

.... "Americans are being disarmed of our right to free speech, our most potent weapon in this brutal war. Obama and his media allies are locking up the language to even discuss the nature of our enemy, and leaving us stripped of the basic knowledge we need to resist submitting to Islam.
"Oh, here's another thing I saw: Page 261 of Obama's The Audacity of Hope, in which he writes, "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." Are the winds ugly yet?" Full article.

The Power of Being “Offended” in Order to Shut Down Political Debate  "" Progressives are increasingly claiming to be offended whenever those on the right disagree with their left-wing positions. It doesn't matter what the issue is; the left will divert a legitimate political debate into an accusation that the right disagrees with them because they are full of hate towards them. This puts the right on the defensive, and removes the real debate from discussion. It then becomes difficult for the right to ever prevail with their position, because to do so would mean “hate” had won.' "

Did Boston bomber murder his 'only American friend' in horrific triple killing in 2011?

UK Mail

Brendan Mess had throat slit alongside two other men in unsolved murder

Boston bomb suspect didn't attend funeral despite them being best friends

Former associates at the gym where he trained now believe it is a clue

"The friend, who gave his name only as Ray, told BuzzFeed Politics: 'At the time, none of us would have thought it was Tam.
'It was just so emotional and we thought we had someone else who had done it.'
"But since Tamerlan was identified as the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings that killed three and injured 180, Ray believes his sudden disappearance after Mess's death may be a clue."

Hey, I read it on the internet and they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true. As Reagan would say, trust but verify.

Dr. Gosnell: The Price of Utopia

Ricochet  " "This is a targeted, elitist and racist prosecution of a doctor who's done nothing but give (back) to the poor and the people of West Philadelphia," announced defense attorney Jack McMahon in his opening salvo before reaching his anti-climactic climax, "It's a prosecutorial lynching of Dr. Kermit Gosnell."  The prescription of racism having thus been written, most of the media took their meds and went dutifully to sleep.  The only thing missing were a few New Black Panthers to stand guard at the courthouse and Eric Holder could have short-circuited the legal process altogether.  But something's gone amiss here as the dark side of utopia slowly comes into the light."
