Dick Morris: Pelosi and Reid Plot Secret Plan for Obamacare

By: Dick Morris and Eileen McGann
Highly informed sources on Capitol Hill have revealed to me details of the Democratic plan to sneak Obamacare through Congress, despite collapsing public approval for healthcare “reform” and disintegrating congressional support in the wake of Republican Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts.
President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid all have agreed to the basic framework of the plan. [Read more]
Please remember Charlie Daniels in your prayers.

editor’s note: The following is a post from Charlie Daniel’s website. I’ve met him on several occasions and he’s always a class act.
Different Strokes
The day was magnificent. The snow was smooth and deep and the trail had just been groomed. We were skimming across the snow at a good clip doing one of my favorite things in the whole world, snowmobiling in the beautiful Rocky Mountain backcountry with our snowmobile buddies Cy and Jeannie Scarborough and some other friends, hitting the high spots and just having a wonderful time.
I noticed that my left hand was getting numb and thought that it was because I had been hanging on to the handle bars of my snowmobile for so long that it had gone to sleep, but then I felt the left side of my mouth starting growing numb and my left foot started getting hard to control and I knew something was happening to me. I knew I’d better get back down the mountain and get some help. [Read more]

The Ant and the Grasshopper,,,,, revisited.
January 4, 2010
OLD VERSION
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away..
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

Our Seniors Are Getting Shafted
January 3, 2010
Tupelo, MS
Apparently, our friends on Capitol Hill are not aware that senior citizens in this country still vote. For the first time, best I can find out, there will be no cost of living adjustments, better known as COLA, this year for social security recepients.
However, Mr. Obama approved a 2% salary increase for all federal employees effective 1 January, 2010. Members of the legislative and judicial branches are due for an automatic pay increase on 1 January as well.
However, it must be noted that Medicare insurance premiums will be increased from the 2009 premium of $96.40 to $104.20 in 2010 and to $120.20 in 2011. This, without any increase in their cost of living expenses.
It has also been predicted there will be no increase in the next 3 years.
Here’s the kicker, while our seniors that are already living on a limited income, our congress continue voting themselves pay increases and spending like drunken sailors. Sorry if this offends a drunken sailor.
It’s past time we vote for new representation whether it’s democrats or republicans.

Happy New Year to all of you
January 1, 2010
You now have the opportunity to change what you want to in your life in the new year. You don’t have to bring old baggage with you. You don’t have to live in the past. You have a new time to change what you want to for this year.
Happy New Year
Dear Mr. President
December 29, 2009
Dear Mr. President,
Please find below my suggestion for fixing America ’s economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the “Patriotic Retirement Plan”:
There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:
1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings – Unemployment fixed.
2) They MUST buy a new American CAR.. Forty million cars ordered – Auto Industry fixed.
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – Housing Crisis fixed.
It can’t get any easier than that!!
P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes…
Mr. President, while you’re at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I’ll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!
editor’s note: I doubt this is a real letter but it sure did make sense when I read it.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Hanukkah, Hotty Toddy, and even Happy Kwanzaa

to Barack Hussein Obama. I pray for you daily Mr. President.
My True to Life Christmas Story
December 18, 2009
When we were very young, our Mom use to tell us that one day she’d love to give us a white Christmas for a Christmas present.
My brother in law passed away in September of 1989 and my Mom passed away two days later. It was a rough time for me and my family. I was living in Huntsville, Al at the time working as a project manager for a construction company. [Read more]
