How’s That Obamacare Waiver Workin’ Out for Ya?
Exactly two years ago this week, the Obama administration announced it had issued more than 100 waivers en masse to a select group of companies, unions and other health insurance providers seeking relief from the onerous federal health care law. The Obamacare waiver winner’s club now totals 2,000. Where are they now?
Answer: In the same miserable boat as every other unlucky business struggling with the crushing costs and burdens of the mandate.
Among the first and most prominent recipients of the Obamacare waivers for favors were large restaurant chains that provide low-wage, seasonal and part-time workers with low-cost health insurance plans called “mini-med” plans. An estimated 1.7 million workers benefit from such plans. Obamacare forced companies carrying such coverage to raise their minimum limits on coverage to no less than $750,000 annually. Another Obamacare provision forces all employers to spend at least 80 percent to 85 percent of their premium revenue on medical care.
We, the Unhyphenated Americans: Meet My People

My fellow Americans, who are “your people”? I ask because U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who is black, used the phrase “my people” in congressional testimony this week. It was an unmistakably color-coded and exclusionary reference intended to deflect criticism of the Obama Justice Department’s selective enforcement policies. It backfired.
In pandering to skin-deep identity politics and exacerbating race-consciousness, Holder has given the rest of us a golden opportunity to stand up, identify “our people” and show the liberal poseurs what post-racialism really looks like.
Herman Cain is my people. He’s my brother-in-arms. I’ve never met him. But we are family. We are kin because we are unhyphenated Americans who are comfortable in the black, brown and yellow skin we are in. We are growing in numbers — on college campuses, in elected office, on the Internet, on radio airwaves, everywhere. And that drives liberals mouth-frothing crazy.
Sandra Fluke Is a Fluke

Sandra Fluke’s controversial testimony before the House Democratic Steering and Policy committee demonstrates why she and other liberals are flukes. Yes a flukes, little parasitic flatworms. While commentator Rush Limbaugh referred to her as a “slut”, conservative writer Michelle Malkin said she was, “a moocher and a tool of the Nanny State. She’s a poster girl for the rabid Planned Parenthood lobby and its eugenics-inspired foremothers.”
From my perspective I would say Malkin has it correct. I found the brief 5 minute clip below to be the most stupid argument given for why religious institutions should provide contraception in their insurance plans. This is typical for liberals though. They want everyone else to take care of them, except when they want to make decisions about abortions and engaging in premarital sex. Then they want to be in control and declare it’s their choice.
Fluke gives an example of a “friend” who needed contraception because of the fact that she is said to have poly-cystic ovarian syndrome in order to keep cysts from growing on her ovaries. Fluke made the comment that her friend had provided the proper documentation that the contraception was not for birth control. Then she tried to emphasize the point that her friend was a homosexual, a lesbian.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Ow. Phew. Let me catch my breath. I just heard about the launch of the Obama administration’s new “Truth Team.”
(Which is, in truth, the same thing as Attack Watch and all the other Obama snitch brigades created over the past three years.)
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahah.
[Wiping tear from eye.]
Yes, the “Truth Team” is here to correct all the lies about the budget process. Michael Czin of Obama for America tweets that the new squad will “help communicate a positive message about the President’s record of keeping his word.”

That’s where Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and Rick Santorum currently stand as the results come in tonight from Iowa.
Via @politicalmath, a graphic that says volumes about grass-roots discontent:
If you’re an Iowa reader, tell us how you voted.
The politicos on tee-vee are all predicting that Huntsman, Bachmann, Gingrich, and possibly Perry will drop out after tonight.
As I wrote this morning, I’m not so sure…
White House photo: Watching the bin Laden operation real-time

White House photog Pete Souza has posted several insider pics on Flickr giving Americans an extraordinary view of President Obama and Cabinet/military officials as they watched the bin Laden operation real-time and prepared to let the world know the results.
The expressions speak volumes:

The eternal flame of Muslim outrage
OneNewsNow.com
Shhhhhhh, we’re told. Don’t protest the Ground Zero mosque. Don’t burn a Quran. It’ll imperil the troops. It’ll inflame tensions. The “Muslim world” will “explode” if it does not get its way, warns sharia-peddling imam Feisal Abdul Rauf. Pardon my national security-threatening impudence, but when is the “Muslim world” not ready to “explode”?
At the risk of provoking the ever-volatile Religion of Perpetual Outrage, let us count the little-noticed and forgotten ways.
Just a few months ago in Kashmir, faithful Muslims rioted over what they thought was a mosque depicted on underwear sold by street vendors. The mob shut down businesses and clashed with police over the blasphemous skivvies. But it turned out there was no need for Allah’s avengers to get their holy knickers in a bunch. The alleged mosque was actually a building resembling London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral. A Kashmiri law enforcement official later concluded the protests were “premeditated and organized to vitiate the atmosphere.”
