It’s not so secret.  Republicans have been talking about repealing Obamacare since the day it was passed.  And the House has been voting on repeal, and the Senate Republicans have been trying to figure out a way to use the reconciliation process.

It’s no secret.

Now they tell them!

President Obama’s enemies often accuse him, in the starkest political terms, of crudely acting to shift resources toward his political base: Green energy donors; single women; Latinos; African-Americans.

But the next 12 months are likely to reveal the opposite. Imminent elements of Obama’s grandest policy move, the health care...

Short answer, Yes.  But please keep reading, anyway.

I have pointed out many times that we should not be fooled into siding with large corporations just because the left claims to hate them.  The enemy of our enemy is not always our friend.

Sorry AARP, you own Obamacare

I have written numerous times about AARP’s love affair with Obamacare, including recently disclosed documents showing coordination of strategy.  Proponents of Obamacare often cited AARP’s support as the equivalent of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.

Few AARP members probably realize how big a role AARP played in Obamacare.

AARP, however, is not...

A.F. Branco produced this cartoon last April for CDN, but it is amazingly appropriate right now.
