As usual, Michele Bachmann is right and unflappable. But the best part of this video is the hilarious attempt by Alan Grayson (yes, him again) to portray this issue as a “weapon of mass distraction.”

OBAMACARE AND THE COURTHOUSE KICKBACK
Yesterday afternoon, in an obvious allusion to the “Cornhusker Kickback,” the President said he didn’t want provisions in the final Obamacare bill that were there for the sole purpose of buying votes:
My proposal also gets rid of many of the provisions that had no place in health care reform – provisions that were more about winning […]
VIDEO: OBAMA GETS MITCH-SLAPPED
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell hammers today’s East Room speech and the “reform” bill Obama threatened to ram through with reconciliation. Rank-and-file Dems would be wise to heed McConnell’s words—-even if Obama isn’t:
This isn’t an argument between Democrats and Republicans. This is an argument between the Democrats and the American people … If this bill is somehow passed … […]
PRESIDENT ORWELL GIVES ANOTHER REFORM SPEECH
All politicians craft their words carefully, and most fudge the facts occasionally, but the current occupant of the White House uses language in such an Orwellian fashion that it’s starting to become a little scary. Here are a couple of samples from Obama’s latest remarks on his health care plan:
I believe it’s time to give the American people more […]
BARK-BARK, WUFF-WUFF: OBAMA THREATENS NUCLEAR OPTION
The President outlined his plan for moving Obamacare forward today, and his comments included the expected threat to use reconciliation to pass the bill if the GOP refuses to rollover:
It deserves the same kind of up-or-down vote that was cast on welfare reform, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, COBRA health coverage for the unemployed, and both Bush tax cuts – […]
CONGRESSMAN ASKS OBAMA TO TREAT GOP AS WELL AS HE TREATS AHMADINEJAD
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) has an interesting proposal for President Obama concerning the way he deals with Republicans on health care:
So I’m going to suggest this, Mr. Speaker, that I would appreciate it if the President today would offer the Republicans the same thing that he offered Ahmadinejad ….
WH RECONCILIATION BLUSTER: SOUND & FURY SIGNIFYING NOTHING
The White House, congressional Democrats, and their media toad-eaters are still pretending Obamacare can be passed via reconciliation, a.k.a. “the nuclear option”:
The White House called for a ’simple up-or-down’ vote on health care legislation Sunday … In voicing support for a simple majority vote, White House health reform director Nancy-Ann DeParle signaled Obama’s intention to push the […]
VIDEO MONTAGE: OBAMA’S SUMMIT SCOWLS
One of the more Orwellian memes adopted by the ”news” media about last week’s health reform summit is that the President’s demeanor was “professorial.” Obama was, they tell us, “smooth,” “unruffled,” and “unflappable.”
Well, as this video montage of his summit expressions shows, he’s actually pretty darned flappable. It’s blindingly obvious that this is a man who doesn’t hear many alternative viewpoints and who doesn’t much like the experience:
DUMBEST REFORM POST OF THE WEEK (IX)
The easy winner of this week’s prize is Joe Klein’s latest contribution to the Swampland blog, in which he avers that Obama got the best of the GOP at yesterday’s summit:
Obama came out well ahead of the Republicans …the Republicans had nothing very interesting, or clever, to say … the President was his usual, unflappable, well-informed self.
If you watched the summit, […]
MEANWHILE, BACK AMONG THE DEMAGOGUES, REP. WEINER SHOWS HIS BEHIND IN THE HOUSE
I guess Anthony Weiner was jealous of all the headlines his fellow demagogues were getting at the summit, so he showed his posterior in the well of the House yesterday:
Make no mistake about it. Every single Republican I have ever met in my entire life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the insurance industry.
That any Democrat can […]
