Six months in office, President Barack Obama sought to rally support for sweeping health care legislation Wednesday night and vowed to reject any measure “primarily funded through taxing middle class families.” At a prime-time news conference, Obama defended his decision to set a mid-summer deadline for the House and Senate to act, even if it isn’t met.

We don’t care if the exact deadline is met. That’s not the point, national press corps. As long as we get the benefits and savings from national health care reform soon, it will be a historic achievement.

Republicans (and Democrats) who oppose this will most likely lose in the next election cycle. There’s no political hay to be made from this. Not only do the vast majority of Americans want this, Obama has managed to bring onboard the pharmaceutical giants to the tune of $80 billion, many health insurance companies, associations of doctors and nurses who tend to be Republican, as well as the freaking AARP.

We need this and we need it now! Obstructionists — get out of the way!

It is not just critical to give every American health care insurance of some kind, it is critical for the overall economy that we get this done!

Why the rush?

Too many people are dying needlessly without it — and the current system is breaking our economy.

Who will be covered?

And There’s Evidence She’s Guilty

An independent investigator has found evidence that Gov. Sarah Palin may have violated ethics laws by trading on her position as she sought money for lawyer fees, in the latest legal distraction for the former vice presidential candidate as she prepares to leave office this week, according to the Associated Press. Palin is securing unwarranted benefits and receiving improper gifts through the Alaska Fund Trust, set up by supporters, accordin to an investigator for the state Personnel Board. He said so in his July 14 report that there is probable cause to believe Palin used or attempted to use her official position for personal gain because she authorized the creation of the trust as her legal defense fund.
