Friday Afternoon Thread: Flashback Friday

The GOP over played their hand with this electoral vote rigging scheme. The media and people from across the spectrum are coming out against this rigging scheme and everyone is talking about it. Now we are seeing republicans come out against the idea because it looks so sad and pathetic.

WOW. WOW. Just a couple of years ago, PBO was being called everything but a child of God for this historic legislation. Hitler…plutocrat…socialist…corporatist…blah blah blah. Well look at ObamaCares now:

Majority Of Americans Think Implementing Obamacare Should Be A ‘Top Priority’ In Their State

The verdict is in: Americans don’t just support Obamacare — they consider implementing its central tenets a “top priority” for their state legislatures.

A new Kaiser Family Foundation/Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/Harvard School of Public Health poll finds that strong majorities of Americans consider implementing Obamacare’s statewide insurance exchanges and Medicaid expansion either a “top” or “important” priority for their state…

ObamaCares has a disproportionately positive impact on black people because we’re disproportionately uninsured and more likely to receive less than ideal care (items like this is why I take seriously the numerous POUers who pointed out during my critique of the inaugural speech that PBO has *delivered* which is more important than words; that’s simply true).

I’m sorry that public perception hadn’t caught up to the quality of ObamaCares in time for the 2010 midterms, but I think that the increasing recognition of the good which Dems did will have an impact in 2014. Here’s to hoping and praying for that.

Mrs. Obama’s Bangs ‏@FirstLadysBangs
Fox News has “parted ways” with Sarah Palin because its embarrassing to put bangs like hers on TV now that I’m here.

Good evening guys.
my computer us busted so I’m using my Kindle and IPad for the internet.

- — —-The fight to save public education and retain local control of those schools against hostile takeover attempts (such as the current takeover attempt in Michigan by our very own Gov. Rick Snyder explained in more detail here from an earlier post) has now attracted nationwide attention. On Tuesday, Jan. 29, representatives from school districts around the country who find themselves under siege in much the same way as Detroit Public Schools are joining together to participate in a hearing in Washington D.C. to air their grievances at the highest levels and make sure their story gets told – and acted upon.

—In short, it appears a growing number of citizens are not only aware of the ongoing Republican attempt to affect the kind of totalitarian change on the state level that they were unable to achieve on the national level during the 2012 elections, but that they refuse to sit still and let it happen. On an even more basic level, when you threaten a parents’ control over the education of that parent’s child and effectively tell them there is nothing they can do about it? Yeah, well, that tends to kinda piss parents off. And not just in Detroit where being pissed off sometimes seems like a way of life. –
