Obama on not giving up on health care reform

About Melanie Shouse, a St. Louis woman who had volunteered for the campaign while battling breast cancer, to which she recently succumbed.

 "She didn't have insurance. She couldn't afford it, so she had put off having the kind of exams that she needed. And she had fought a tough battle for four years. All through the campaign she was fighting it, but finally she succumbed to it. And she insisted she's going to be buried in an Obama t-shirt. (Laughter.)

But think about this: She was fighting that whole time not just to get me elected, not even to get herself health insurance, but because she understood that there were others coming behind her who were going to find themselves in the same situation and she didn't want somebody else going through that same thing. (Applause.)

How can I say to her, "You know what? We're giving up"?

How can I say to her family, "This is too hard"?

How can Democrats on the Hill say, "This is politically too risky"?

How can Republicans on the Hill say, "We're better off just blocking anything from happening"?"

SOTU: What he said!

Obama said many things that needed to be said, and did it without demonizing those he disagreed with!

Satan to Pat Robertson: "I may be evil incarnate, but I’m no welcher"

Dear Pat Robertson,

I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I’m all over that action.

But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I’m no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished.

Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth — glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle. Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven’t you seen “Crossroads”? Or “Damn Yankees”?

If I had a thing going with Haiti, there’d be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox — that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style. Nothing against it — I’m just saying: Not how I roll.

You’re doing great work, Pat, and I don’t want to clip your wings — just, come on, you’re making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That’s working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract.

Best, Satan.

Require Congress to get their coverage from the health care plan they pass

Congress needs to feel our pain on health care. Let's make the stakes a little more realistic.

End the luxurious health insurance plan that Congress has now, and instead require Senators and Representatives to get their health insurance through the plan that they pass!

That will give them a little bit more of a stake in broad changes, don't you think?

If Sarah Palin believes it was "God's plan" that McCain chose her for VP...

Then she must believe that God wanted Obama to win the election, right?

Who would Jesus hate? Teabagger Founder combines faith and racism

Dale Robertson, the man who claims to be the "President and Founder of the Tea Party" (is he the one who didn't check Google before describing them as "teabaggers?") is shown in this picture from Gawker wearing a "Man of Faith" hat while carrying a hand-lettered sign that includes the N-word (misspelled, no less).
