OBAMA
Independents begin to edge away from President Obama
In a potentially alarming trend for the White House, independent voters are deserting President Barack Obama nationally and especially in key swing states, recent polls suggest.

Miguel Diaz and the Vatican
So here is my prediction of how Mr. Diaz will conduct his years at the Holy See. Like the president, he'll allow interviews with “safe” Catholic publications who won't throw him any hardballs, such as how he reconciles the Catholic Church's position on abortion, stem cell research, etc. with that of the president. As to what his personal views are on “life” issues, it doesn't sound like we'll get that answer any time soon.

Obama Catholics Reach a New Low by Deal W. Hudson
A leading Obama Catholic has finally come out and said it: President Obama is more Catholic than the pope! Church leadership needs to wake up and realize the impact of the Obama presidency on the parish, the chancery, and even the Vatican. This game of footsy Catholic leaders are playing with Obama is empowering Catholic dissenters like Kathleen Kennedy Townsend.

The science czar stonewalls By Michelle Malkin
Can a population control freak holding the prestigious title of “Science Czar” get away with published musings on forced abortion, mass sterilization programs, and a “planetary regime” to re-engineer society by simply stonewalling? He’s trying his best.

More Media Follies re: Obama Birth story
A crack reporter of mine at The American Spectator had investigated the matter when it was a hot rumor during the presidential election and found no empirical evidence in support of the story. Better yet, the Spectator's reporter found evidence militating against the story.

OBAMA HEALTH CARE PLAN
Obama Leaving Abortion Responsibility to Lower Pay Grades
Now that Obama has assumed the highest pay grade in the United States, he is avoiding responsibility for abortion policy and assigning responsiblity to lower pay grades in his administration. President Obama clearly wants abortion services as part of the health care package, but he is not being honest with the American people, just as he was not honest in his meeting with Benedict XVI about so-called “abortion reduction.”

Obama Falsely Claims There Are 47 Million Uninsured Americans
The Census Bureau says that there are only 35.92 million uninsured Americans and that this number includes 9.1 million people who earn more than $75,000 a year and simply choose not to purchase insurance.

Inside the monstrous Obamacare bureaucracy
If you think government is too big and too costly, wait until Obamacare kicks in. The administrative costs and spillover spending effects will be astronomical.

Don’t Trust the AMA
The American Medical Association’s endorsement of Obamacare has sparked a doctor revolt. The AMA’s drift away from a focus on protecting private medicine and toward an increasingly left-leaning policy orientation has not gone unnoticed. AMA now represents only around 120,000 practicing physicians, or (statistics vary) between 20 and 30 percent of the national total.

What's Not Political About Health Care Reform?
President Obama whined on “The Today Show” yesterday that politics was getting in the way of his noble effort to reform health care on behalf of the American people. To her credit, Meredith Vieira didn't buy it. And if Meredith Vieira doesn't buy it, Obama's got big problems.

The U.S. Bishops on Health Care By Robert Royal
Bishop Murphy sent a letter to Congress encouraging legislators to pass “comprehensive health-care reform,” something just about everyone agrees we need. And in the very first paragraph, Bishop Murphy expresses the hope that “the serious efforts of the Congressional committees will bring genuine life-affirming reform to the nation’s health care system.
And yet. . . .It may be helpful to point out that issuing a letter like this, just a day before the president went on television to try to save his hurried “comprehensive” health-care bill, probably invites a serious misreading. In the blunt-trauma ways of Washington, many will discount the page-and-a-half (out of only two-and-a-half) devoted to the full cause of life, and will only see the bishops as siding with the president in his rush to get reform, any reform, as soon as possible. To be sure, the bishops are not.

Jindal expands conscience protection
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal just signed a bill expanding conscience protection beyond abortion. Now, physicians and health care workers in Louisiana also have conscience protection for abortion, dispensing the morning-after pill, participating in embryonic stem cell research or embryo cloning, euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide.
