New Pelosi-Same as old Pelosi
Nancy Pelosi , the defeated former speaker of the house may not be able to rely on her own words, as it appears her own colleagues want her to to keep Obama in check, and make sure he doesn't work too closely with Republicans. While this is not surprising news, it does lend more weight to critics assertions that with the Republican majority in the House, and only five seats shy of a majority in the Senate that gridlock will ensue when the 112th Congress convenes. After the crushing defeat the Democrats suffered on November 2nd, there w…
Republicans Have Health Care Plan.
The buzz around the internet is that now that the Republicans have taken control of the house, gridlock will ensue and nothing will get done. That is fine with me, considering that nothing good has gotten done in the last two years anyhow. I would have preferred if even less of the nonsense the Democrats have forced down our throats had failed to launch in the first place.

The Real Cost Of PCIP(Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan) Health Care.
For those uninsured in America because of a pre-existing condition, Obama says help is on the way. And by help he means a vague new insurance that costs a lot and the benefits of which are as of yet completely unknown. Sounds like the government to me. The new Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan went in to effect July 1st and is aimed at covering people who were previously uninsurable because of a wide range of 'pre-existing' conditions. Health Insurance companies had some pretty broad definitions of what that meant. Diabe…
