The convenient fantasies of President Obama

By Michael Barone "Liberal columnists have been attacking Republicans because some of their voters are "birthers," believers in the absurd charge that President Obama was not born in Hawaii and thus is not a natural-born U.S. citizen.

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."

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?"

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.

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"

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.
