VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WANT HEALTH CARE
Americans and their lawmakers are dramatically out of sync on health care, with large majorities of people looking for bipartisan cooperation that’s nowhere in sight.
A new Associated Press-GfK Poll finds a widespread hunger for improvements to the health care system, which suggests President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies have a political opening to push their plan. Half of all Americans say health care should be changed a lot or “a great deal,” and only 4 percent say it shouldn’t be changed at all.
THE PRESIDENT MAKES FINAL PUSH FOR HEALTH CARE REFORM
President Barack Obama is pushing a new anti-fraud plan and his top health official is challenging the nation’s insurers as the administration cranks up the pressure for a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s medical system.
Obama is to speak Wednesday in suburban St. Louis and then travel to northeastern Ohio on Monday, his third health care event in a week. His speech comes as congressional Democrats stand on the brink of delivering the president a dramatic success with passage of his massive overhaul legislation – or a colossal failure if they can’t get it done.
HARRY REID STEAMING MAD AT SUPREME COURT
The president and his aides aren’t the only Democrats throwing unusually sharp and public jabs at the conservative members of the Supreme Court.
On Wednesday Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said he was “so disappointed” with the Court’s swing vote — Justice Anthony M. Kennedy — for enabling the court’s rightward, corporatist tilt. As for Chief Justice John Roberts, the majority leader castigated him as being out of touch and completely detached from political reality.
“Do you think John Roberts knows or cares how people get elected?” he said, referring to the role the chief justice played in crafting the court’s Citizens United decision.

I’ve always quite liked pussies myself…
…behave Dinners….
TC I couldn’t agree more. There are times when I think there are two teams: The Pussies and the Bullies…Do I need to tell you which is which???
Mike, it’s about time Democrats began to vent at the judicial activism of the US Extreme Court. In order to reach the Citizens United decision, both Roberts and Scalito demonstrated that everything they said during their confirmation hearings was a lie.
