Centrifugal Force


Taking it to the Streets!
...the Obama administration take to the streets on behalf of the president’s most important domestic initiative. The nationwide effort is modeled on Mr. Obama’s successful voter turnout machines in 2008 and 2012, but in this case the task of finding Americans without health insurance and signing them up is a painfully slow grind.
...
Planned Parenthood, one of the most aggressive groups, has raised millions of dollars for the effort. (New York Times, 2/19/2014)

We can only assume that, in the process of signing up people for Obamacare, Planned Parenthood will remind everyone of the free birth control and free abortions.


Reflective
Historians call the Affordable Care Act the most ambitious new social program in a generation. But the debate over the law reflects the tension behind a century of attempts to mandate universal health care. Many Americans are uncomfortable with programs they believe substitute government largess for personal responsibility. (Wall Street Journal, 2/18/2014)

Yes, that is it exactly.


Another Red Line!
President Obama said Wednesday that the Ukrainian government would face "consequences" if it crosses the line in cracking down on protesters in Kiev. (Washington Post, 2/19/2014)

The Ukrainian government is not the least bit disturbed by Obama's warning. They know who he is.
