Obama says health care changes must come this year

L.A.W.---quoting the President, "We are out of money" (see Sat May 23 2009 interview posted below) which begs the question Mr. President, how in hell do you propose paying for universal health coverage; better yet, have you seen Canada's or Britain's system? You're spending is 10x that of Bush; you're further bankrupting us!

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama warned Thursday that if Congress doesn't deliver health care legislation by the end of the year, the opportunity will be lost, a plea to political supporters to pressure lawmakers to act. "If we don't get it done this year, we're not going to get it done," Obama told supporters by phone as he flew home on Air Force One from a West Coast fundraising trip. Full story

Hey, let's lighten up a bit

Gibbs: Sotomayor Critics Should Be "Exceedingly Careful"

L.A.W.--- LOL, hey Gibbs, when the "American people look at what's happening," as you suggest, we get pissed. You insult Americans by saying Sotomayor's racist comment should be disounted because of a blog post. See Gibb's comment.

“court of appeals is where policy is made”

L.A.W.--- Sonia Sotomayor's nomination for Supreme Court Justice by Obama is another example of how we are on the path toward tyranny. She says, the “court of appeals is where policy is made.” Policy is not made by federal judges. Her comment is dangerous because it's unconstitutional. Read Levin's book, "Liberty and Tyranny" to learn more about our Constitution and Declaration of Independence and the movement to erode our founding documents. Listen up conservatives: it's time to pay attention and discuss with others how our freedoms are being taken from us under the guise of 'economic stimulus' and Obama's appointments.

'I would hope that a wise white male with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a Latina woman...' A white male candidate for the high court would be run out of town for saying such nonesense; instead, we have a liberal minority saying something stupid and receiving a "media hall pass," just like our president received throughout his campaign.

WASHINGTON — In 2001, Sonia Sotomayor, an appeals court judge, gave a speech declaring that the ethnicity and sex of a judge “may and will make a difference in our judging.”

In her speech, Judge Sotomayor questioned the famous notion — often invoked by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her retired Supreme Court colleague, Sandra Day O’Connor — that a wise old man and a wise old woman would reach the same conclusion when deciding cases.
“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,” said Judge Sotomayor, who is now considered to be near the top of President Obama’s list of potential Supreme Court nominees.

Her remarks, at the annual Judge Mario G. Olmos Law and Cultural Diversity Lecture at the University of California, Berkeley, were not the only instance in which she has publicly described her view of judging in terms that could provoke sharp questioning in a confirmation hearing.
This month, for example, a video surfaced of Judge Sotomayor asserting in 2005 that a “court of appeals is where policy is made.” She then immediately adds: “And I know — I know this is on tape, and I should never say that because we don’t make law. I know. O.K. I know. I’m not promoting it. I’m not advocating it. I’m — you know.”
