Now That’s Bipartisanship We Can Support!
Beleaguered Rep. Charlie Rangel defied bipartisan calls for him to step down as chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee despite an ethics committee report that found he violated House rules by taking corporate-funded trips to the Caribbean. (FoxNews.com, 2/26/2010)
Corrupt media alert: The day the report was released it seems like every other story on the New York Times website was about the corruption scandal involving long-time New York Democrat politician Charlie Rangel…….just kidding! We couldn’t find it at all!

Deconstructing the Summit
…Mr. Obama still seemed burdened with the challenges of having pursued a largely middle-of-the-road proposal that has hampered the Democrats all along. It has disappointed some in the party’s liberal base, especially without a public option. It holds little or no appeal for Republicans, and it confuses and scares many people in the middle. (our emphasis)
When you put it that way, Obama’s health care plan sure sounds like a winner to us!
The fundamental question facing Republicans was not whether they could persuade Democrats to take a different approach, but whether continuing their opposition in the wake of Mr. Obama’s grand gesture of bipartisanship could turn into a liability in a tense midterm election year.
Those mean old Repubs! How could they refuse Obama’s “grand gesture?”
