Ain’t No Sunshine, Secret Email Accounts

For the zillionth time. It’s what community organizers and like-minded statists do. This is exactly how you fundamentally change America. Alias and secret email communications. Out of reach of FOIA. Behind closed doors. Lying to the public. Breaching America’s trust is immaterial to this administration. As always with them, the end justifies the means.

Media? Shrug.

What A ‘Death Panel’ Looks Like

There are death panels. It’s called ‘red tape’ and it has the face of Health & hhs_sec_kathleen_sebelius_death_panelHuman Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

Secretary Sebelius has turned down appeals to overrule a federal regulation that could sarah_friendsave the life of a 10-year girl who desperately needs a lung transplant or faces dying in the next three to five weeks.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius described her decision as ‘incredibly agonizing’ when she told a congressional panel on Tuesday that she won’t intervene in a transplant decision to save a dying Pennsylvania girl. Sarah Murnaghan doesn’t qualify for an adult lung transplant until the age of 12, according to federal regulations, Sebelius has the authority to waive that rule on her behalf. Death Panel.

In reply to an appeal to suspend the 12 yr. limit made by Rep. Lou Barletta on behalf of 10 yr. old Sarah, Sebelius said “I would suggest, sir, that, again, this is an incredibly agonizing situation where someone lives and someone dies.”

What? Now fat cats who avoid taxes offshore are cool.michael_froman_trade_rep

By now, everyone is numb with Obama’s hypocrisy. Also by now, no one (media included) expects him to govern. He’s on the never-ending campaign. Fighting against the consequences of his own policies.

Yet another case for replacing the tax code, with the FairTax. No reason to hide income under the FairTax, because income is not taxed. That money can stay right here and be put to use right here.
