Obama's Big Political Gamble

By Karl Rove "...at a Labor Day union picnic in Cincinnati. There Mr. Obama accused critics of his health reforms of spreading "lies" and said opponents want "to do nothing." These false charges do not reveal a spirit of bipartisanship nor do they create a foundation for dialogue. It is more like what you'd say if you are planning to jam through a bill without compromise. Which is exactly what Mr. Obama is about to attempt. "

SPEAKING OF CZARS

Neal Boortz "How much do you know about Obama's science czar John Holdren? Listen to this clip where Holdren explains how US exceptionalism needs to be snuffed out in order to redistribute the wealth and allow room for the poor to become more prosperous."

SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS ON OBAMA'S HEALTH SPEECH

By Neal Boortz "Unfortunately the story today will be the classless rudeness of S.C. Republican Joe Wilson rather than the gaping logic holes in Obama's speech. Usually that type of boorish behavior is reserved for liberals when a conservative is speaking on a college campus. Who will be the first to call Joe Wilson a racist?"

Biden says congressman's outburst was embarrassing

Yahoo "After the speech, Wilson apologized for the incident. Biden said he hadn't spoken with Obama, but was "sure he accepted the apology.""...."Wilson appeared to consult his Blackberry for much of the rest of Obama's speech. He shook his head defiantly after several of the president's statements. When Obama finished, Wilson bolted from the chamber."

What's Hidden in the Baucus Bill?

Rush Limbaugh "Well, he's going to move his bill with or without Republicans. All this talk of bipartisanship is BS. And Olympia Snowe is not on board. She's not on board the public option despite the reporting to the contrary. So Baucus is pretty much admitting this Gang of Six thing is nothing but spin. Ah, if I can't get Republicans I'm going to move it forward anyway. Stand by, folks. Get ready. They're ratcheting it up, and the news tomorrow is going to be, "Wow, great comeback. Great, great comeback. Oh, Obama pulled a rabbit. The old Obama is back." I just know it. In fact, it will probably be the case tonight after the speech. Be prepared"

Liberal Lies About National Healthcare: Fourth in a Series

By Ann Coulter "If any liberal sincerely believes that national health care will not cover illegals and abortion, how do they explain the Democrats frantically opposing amendments that would make this explicit?"

WHIP COUNT: DEMS LACK THE VOTES

Drudge "At least 44 more moderate Members of the Democrat Caucus have gone on the record in opposition to the current health care bill in the House, a Hill source claims. Likewise, at least 57 liberal Members of the Democrat Caucus have gone on the record saying they will vote against a health care bill without a strong public option. Unless multiple Democrats flip on their stated position on health care, Speaker Pelosi lacks the votes to pass a bill through the House on the strength of Democrat votes alone."
