Rove on the Crazy Witch Hunt of Patrick Fitzgerald

Obama facing uprising over new NASA strategy

Yahoo News "The shuttle system still has four more flights to get crews and hardware to the International Space Station before the craft are retired.

Can Nancy Pelosi Get the Votes?

MICHAEL BARONE "Are there enough votes in the House to pass the Senate's health-care bill? As of today, it's clear there aren't. House Democratic leaders have brushed aside White House calls to bring the bill forward by March 18, when President Barack Obama heads to Asia. Nevertheless, analysts close to the Democratic leadership tell me they're confident the leadership will find some way to squeeze out the 216 votes needed for a majority.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A PRESIDENT ACT THIS WAY BEFORE?

Neal Boortz "...let' me just share a few of the points in Alinskey's (sp) book and you make your own determination as to whether or not Obama has learned his "Rules for Radicals" lessons well: "An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent .." "Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty ..." "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon ..." "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."Now ... does it seem to any of you that Obama's demonization of the health insurance companies might be an attempt to "stir up dissatisfaction and discontent?""
