I don’t quite know what to say about this.

The House–the Democratic-controlled House–quietly passed their version of ObamaCare on Saturday, providing the beleaguered Obama administration a victory they could point to.

The bill was passed by an extremely close margin, 220-215, a 5 vote margin. The vote was passed by 219 Democrats and one Republican (Joseph Cao, a first-term Republican who holds a decidedly Democratic office in New Orleans) against a coalition comprised of 176 Republicans and 39 Democrats. So much for an era of bi-parsianship…

The bill will now move to the Senate were heavy debate is expected. Hopefully the senate won’t vote on the bill in the dark of night so they could sneak it by the public without anyone knowing.

Seven companies that received bailout money will have their top 25 executives pay cut by about 90% on average.

The treasury Department will announce this in the next few days, according to Yahoo! Finance.

The companies are Bank by America, Citi, AIG, Government Motors, GMAC, Chrysler and Chrysler Financial.

I told you this would happen…

UPDATE:  CNBC is reporting that the overall pay–including benefits, bonuses, and crap will drop about 50%.

Also, check this out:

“And at all of the companies, any executive seeking more than $25,000 in special perks — such as country club memberships, private planes, limousines or company issued cars — will have to apply to the government for permission.”

I told you.

I goddamn told you!

This is corporate fascism at its finest, ladies and gentlemen.

Kenneth Feinberg is running the show.

Folks, I was curious about people calling the health care protests “astroturf;” meaning, the protesters are recruited to be there by right-wing fringe leaders like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, and, the mobfather himself, Rush Limbaugh.

But, people seem to be missing the point.  Nancy Pelosi, for example, called those asking questions of the Messiah “Un-American.”  But, in 2006, she said, “I’m a fan of disruptors.”

Check it out here.

Barack Obama said that those questioning him are being funded by Big Insurance…If only he had proof…

And he also blames the “ruckus” on “cable news.” Now, ladies and gentlemen, let’s not be dim here.  He means Fox News.

But, if it turns out these groups are getting marching orders from groups,–in the words of Rush Limbaugh–’bout damn time.

And I completely agree.  The aggressor sets the rules, folks.  The left-wing loons set a precedent for disruptive behavior, and to refer to the questioning of an elected official as “Un-American” is simply that.

Now, let’s take a look at the real astroturf.

Now, I must admit, I get my marching orders from MoveOn.org.  I receive their email…just so I can know what’s going on in the world outside of my God and Guns…

Here is part of an email from August 7, 2009:

Check it out–as well as just who is laying astroturf–after the jump…

Also, Sheila Jackson’s townhall: a complete SHAM…

Folks, this was crazy. A couple of days ago, Megyn Kelly asked Bill Burton about the “enemies list.” She asked if the White House will keep the email addresses of the people being reported. He could not, and actually refused to answer the question.

Megyn Kelly Discusses “Enemy\’s List” With WH Press Secretary:

Now, it turns out, that people are receiving unsolicited emails from the White House.
Major Garrett has received emails from folks saying they received emails from the White House.

Hot Air has more information.

Folks, this video includes Barack Obama saying he is for a “single payer system.”  He also says that the government run “public option” will eliminate private insurance.  The video also shows Jan Schakowsky bragging about tearing down the health insurance system–you may remember my post on that earlier this year…

Watch the explosive video here:

UPDATE:  August 4, 2009:

The White House goes to the web to attack the Drudge Report.

Apparently the above video just cherry picked certain statements…but its pretty damning that he said that it will eliminate private insurance…

They’re in damage control here, folks.

Also, I think it is wrong that they are attacking the Drudge Report…calling it “misinformation.”

Oh, and, Happy Birthday, Barry!

Botox, face lifts, tummy tucks, hair transplants, etc., may be taxed 10% in order to pay for the $1 trillion health overhaul.

From Congress Daily: “Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucustold reporters he had heard some ‘interesting,’ ‘creative,’ and ‘kind of fun’ ideas.”

Fun taxes?  Is this guy a loon?

The only state that taxes cosmetic surgery is New Jersey.

Folks, Conyers sickens me.  This isn’t the first time he has made a comment that has made my stomach turn.

Remember when he decided not to investigate ACORN because of the “powers that be?”

Well now he said questioned the congresspeople who advocate reading the healthcare bill…
“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill.’  What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”

This is almost as bad as them censoring the term “government run” health care in favor of “public option.”

Well what good is trying to keep your job if don’t give a damn about this country?

UPDATE:  In 2004, Barack Obama rips Bush Administration for rushing legislation through congress…

“When you rush these budgets, that are a foot high, and no body has any idea what’s in them, and it gets rushed through without any clear deliberation and debate then these kind of things happen.”

Blood is shooting from my eyes.  This flagrant example of Obama hypocrisy hurts me…

Folks, this kills me.  Here are some of the things on which Recovery.gov has said that we have spent money:

All links to their respective invoices…

Ladies and gentlemen, it turns out there actually is pork in the stimulus package…

$16,784,272 for “Canned Pork”

$5,708,260 to “Process Cheese”

$1,562,568 for “Mozzarella Cheese”

$351,807 to “Replace and Upgrade the Dumbwaiter” Now, if I may, why not just upgrade or replace?  Why do both?

$1,191,200 for “2 Pound Frozen Ham, Sliced”

$2,531,600 for “Ham, Water Added, Cooked, Frozen, Sliced, 2-lb” Now, if I may, isn’t that what they spent money on above?

And, if you look closely…they’re the SAME DAMN company…

He went on to say that his department bought 837,936 pounds of mozzarella cheese…

Folks, The healthcare bill–in both the House and Senate–have provisions to spend billions of dollars on “infrastructure.”

Walking paths, lighting for playgrounds, all stem from the healthcare bill.  Uncle Teddy’s handlers said that it is needed to improve the overall livelihood of folks that use the parks.

I call it an excuse to spend more money they don’t have.

The limit for spending in the Senate version of the bill is up to O-Man himself.

The limit for the House version of the bill is $1.6 Billion a year…

And, no, they don’t know where they’re going to get the money.

The group, Trust for America’s Health is behind some of the language in the bill:

The spending is needed to “create the infrastructure to support active living and access to nutritious foods in a safe environment.’’

Obama said that this is needed as “preventative care.”

This is “the largest investment ever in preventive care, because that’s one of the best ways to keep our people healthy and our costs under control.’’

Yeah…you don’t have to do tests anymore…Cuts costs…
