And he reacts well. President Barack Obama had strong word for BP, Transocean, and Halliburton for their finger-pointing-filled testimonies during recent Congressional hearings. Recent polls show the Gulf environmental catastrophe has had no adverse effects on Obama’s public perception. Yet, he still has voiced strong, common-sense opinions on everything from corporate hubris to dangerous relationships [...]
Say what you will about the recent Health Care Reform (I sure have), but I fully support Obama’s views and focus on economic overhaul. In a speech at Cooper Union College, President Obama compared quotes from his 2008 presidential campaign speech with the disastrous economic events that unfolded later that year. A free market was [...]
I’ve read and heard several opinions about the health care reform effort here in the United States. This Congressional effort has clearly been derailed and will likely die. Many are disappointed by this, but I am not (but please read on). The bills that passed through both Houses of Congress were vastly complex. There were [...]

The senators who held out against the mammoth health care bill are set to make out like bandits [learn the details] … with your taxpayer dollars. Correction: Your grandchildren’s taxpayer dollars. The next few generations need to pay off the first $12 trillion the US government owes. How did we get here? Republicans and Democrats [...]

No matter whether you support the healthcare provisions of this bill, a $1.2 trillion cost should make any representative somber. Here’s what I like about the bill: Healthcare for all.
