My first thought is that using deception was probably the only way he could get medical services. Perhaps the newly passed legislation would have helped him get medical help before he had to debase himself and become the butt of jokes from Christian America.

I smell the momentum changing away from the tea party haters and toward the coffee party thinkers.

Since the economy is in fact slowly recovering from the Bush Recession and more jobs are created and we join the "first world" in health care I find it difficult to see where Obama wants to ruin the economy. The hatred is sad and certainly not healthy for the haters.

WOW! What a great project!! In a (short) conversation I had with President Obama in Elkader during the campaign we discussed vehicle to grid (and vice versa) and how critically important a smart grid with this exact capability will be in America's future. This project will allow Iowa students (K-12, CC, University, and beyond) to see and experience this wonderful replacement for the oil and food (ethanol) that we currently use for personal transportation.

I realize this is way too late in the thread, but for those who doubt human influence in global warming:

Visualize the number of cars and trucks on the 47,000 miles of our interstate highway system right now and the number of cars and trucks in our cities; New York, Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, etc. Add to that the rest of the world and the thousands of power plants and factories, etc. The real wonder is that our 6 mile deep atmosphere has been able to handle us as well as it has.

The Soviet Union collapse was primarily caused:

1) by the fact that a controlled economy cannot succeed for long because of human greed, and

2) the economic burden of their war in Afghanistan. I note that the BlazinHawk did not bring up the wars that W. started (or, more correctly, Chenny started). These, more than any other factor, are why we have the current huge deficits. Will our fights in Iraq and Afghanistan be written about in history books as one of the main reasons that China became the worlds greatest economic power in a few years?
