The One

Clarence Thomas v Obama - will the real New Negro please Stand up!

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 7:59pm — Xenophon

First, I want to give a big shout out to the whole Corrente Clan! Lambert love the new look. Yes I still live. Yes I will be on the low low a little while longer. At least until the systemic anomaly known as “THE ONE” has resolved itself. It seems Justice Thomas has found cause to scrutinize the allegation that “THE ONE” may not be eligible for POTUS status.

Now, to be sure, I can’t imagine someone running for president wouldn’t have considered this. So, of course, it must be far fetched. But, out of all the allegations hurled against “THE ONE” this one has grown some legs.

The text of HR676 (Medicare For All) as PDF (30 pages). The FAQ. Compare HR3200 with HR676.

Medicare for All would save $350 billion a year (study in New England Journal of Medicine).

In 2003, a young Illinois state senator named Barack Obama told an AFL-CIO meeting, "I am a proponent of a single-payer universal healthcare program*." -- Bill Moyers.

22:03:36 Valley Girl I'd sure like Bruce Dixon's take on the Conyers comments. Just emailed him.
21:03:43 lambert Thanks, Jeff.
18:16:03 Jeff W lambert, I wrote to NOW about that Elizabeth Warren video not playing and got a response of sorts back, which I sent to you as a private PM. Just FYI.

02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
10:04:26 lambert Jeff, thanks. Fixed.
02:05:14 Jeff W lambert, your "especially with Obama's youthful base" link here [url] is broken. :(

5:00 Horror

Bad news (for the party in power) that's released at 5:00 PM on a Friday so that nobody has a chance to process it—except the people who released it, who start spinning it immediately, hoping that their version will take before the Sunday talk shows.
