Obama’s leaving out single-payer in March 5 meeting
March 4, 2009, 11:54AM
At the Congressional Black Caucus last week, Cong. John Conyers approached Pres. Barack Obama to ask for an invitation to the March 5 meeting Obama is having on healthcare for the nation. It seems Obama denied the request.
So no one who is an advocate of single-payer healthcare–including the man responsible for HR 676, a viable method of providing Medicare for everyone in the country while boosting the economy–will be at the meeting during which Obama may well decide the future of American healthcare.
Why? Beats me. The last I heard, Obama was open to hearing every option, and he’d only dismiss something if it didn’t have support (as well as not being any good).

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
