Forgive my rant this morning folks, but I've reached 'mad as hell and not gonna take it any more' time. When are Democrats going to get it? Or maybe a better question would be, will the Democrats ever get it? Now that Sen. Chuckles GrASSley has been successful in removing the end of life provision from the Senate Finance Committee version of the health care reform bill, I'm more and more convinced that the answer...

I would like to make an appeal to President Obama and the Democrats in Congress, drop this attempt at bi-partisanship and get on with the business of passing health care reform.

Here's a great clip of Hillary Clinton being asked about John Bolton's criticism of the humanitarian mission, in which she addresses the remarks by pointing out that if President Obama walked on water "he'd say he couldn't swim."
