When we last left our fair protagonist, he was wrapping the first FNV of 2010.
Now I’m back with more political items, of course.
About a month ago, there was a rally at the Capitol on health care dubbed the Senate Emergency Rally. Since health care isn’t a done deal yet, it’s worth hearing radio talk show host Laura Ingraham’s take on this. From the Washington News-Observer:
Nor is the health care debate transparent (as promised by President Obama) – this is Rep. Joe Sestak (a Democrat) lamenting the lack of transparency.
So does Newt Gingrich…a victory for “bipartisanship”:
American Solutions (Newt’s group) also laments the lack of openness.
Until they came up with a last-minute compromise, even union leaders weren’t all that pleased about the health care bill. I have a lot of WNO material this week, but Richard Trumka of the AFL-CIO explains his side.
The Center for Individual Freedom points out trends in the fight against health care, too.
President Obama doesn’t seem to be following through on promises and nor does his stimulus, which is why the national Chamber of Commerce opposes the idea of a second one. Again, from WNO:
I wish they’d have been as careful about their support the first time, but I guess coming to the party late is better than not coming at all.
There hasn’t been much talk about this around here, but Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah is concerned about the prospect of same-sex marriage in Washington, D.C. It’s up to Congress to approve the local government’s endorsement of the concept.
Once again, that’s thanks to WNO.
I’m going to wrap this up by bringing back some original music. A few weeks back I attended the ’12 Bands of Christmas’ show and took a few video clips of various bands. This one was the Paul Lewis Band and an original song they did as part of their set.
Hope you enjoyed the tune and the overall presentation – look for more next week!
