Who Cares About the Economy? Healthcare? Or the Death of a Soldier?

Those things can wait...

Cuz there are evildoers among us, and they are destroying the Obama vision. Stupid police officers. Looselipped congresswomen.

If Obama's health care plan doesn't survive congressional scrutiny.... it will be for the very same reason that working class Democrats voted against him in the primaries. Such spins the Obamacare meme.

Yep, it's all about race again. As our MSM downplays yet another week of high unemployment rates, failed attempts at health care policy, and escalating violence in the middle-east .... to bring us ad nauseum coverage of how Americans all hate one another because of our varying skin tones.

Nobody really seems to care about what gets accomplished in this "post racial age of Obama."

Except, maybe, for the nation's EENT Docs, who have released their own response to the president's flippant comment about them. (Thanks to PUMA blogger, Woman State for the heads up. On that one.)

Oh, and the neighbors of Sergeant First Class John C. Beale have something else to deal with as well. They have to say good-bye to a friend:



(Warning: Only watch the video if you are up for a good, twelve minute, cry. It shows the funeral procession of the fallen soldier, and what his neighbors did to honor him.)

All White Senate Turns Away Only Black Member

Roland Burris was denied entry to the hallowed halls of the United States Senate today. He would have been the only black man sworn in this session, the 111th. It was striking to observe his rejection. No matter what reason was given, what technicality was cited, what political tale was spun... the image was what it was. A seventy-one year old, African American, lifelong public servant was denied entrance to an all white "old boys" club. (There are women in this old boys club. But not nearly enough to represent the 51% comprising their American constituants.)



Burris' statement sent cold chills up the spines of many who recognized the historical significance of what we were witnessing.

I guess we can be grateful that Mr. Burris was allowed to watch the swearing in ceremony from the balcony.

And we might take heart that Burris has been offered an office space wherein he can get out of the cold rain and await his fate.

All in all, though, it's a sad day on Capital Hill. Not only do progressives lose their champions, Hillary Rodham Rodham Clinton and Joseph Robinette Biden this year. They witness the turning back of an African American who is well qualified to replace Barack Hussein Obama.

This is just not something we should be seeing in the Democratic party.
