The Democrats are considering Reconciliation to prevent Republican Filibuster.
Good. The Democrats must get health care reform done by the 2010 elections or it won't get done. The Republicans have been doing everything they can to delay it.
I must add... kudos to Barney Frank for yelling the idiot disrupter's down at his town hall meeting.

Swastikas. Seriously.
I have seen alot of things in my fairly short life. Some things have been shocking, some horrifying.
Never did I think I would see American people painting swastikas on the side of government buildings.
This kind of thing is childish and immature. It has got to stop. It is not acceptable in any way shape or form.

Just say NO!
Recently we have been watching some very disturbing things in the media.
Town Hall Meetings that are supposed to be places where people can ask and answer questions are being drowned out by people who want nothing more than to scream at the top of their lungs over top of everyone elses voice.
The behavior, regardless of party, is deplorable and childish.
However, there are things that are even worse.
In 1920, there was a European party introduced that supports everything the Republicans have been supporting in recent times. Anti-parliamentarism, racism, collectivism, antisemitism (though in this country its taking the forum of anti-Christianism), anti-communism, totalitarianism (in this country, its taking the form that "Republicans only should rule"), and opposition to economic and political liberalism, the superiority of the American people, and an intense, almost fanatical, loyalty to ones country (to the point that they were willing to kill anyone who spoke out against them). Among other things. Reminds me of the Republicans who love to claim that anything different than them is the enemy and should be destroyed.
The name of this party was the National Socialist German Worker's Party. Under Adolf Hitler, the party would become the Nazi Party and one of the great scourges of the world the likes of Genghis Khan.
The National Socialists suggested that a lack of patriotism was the whole problem, and they actively fought against the Democrats of their country.
Ladies and gentlemen, lets learn from this. Lets not repeat their mistakes. The behavior of these people is not acceptable and it makes them not only anti-American, but also anti-Human.
Lets not have another Nazi party renamed the Republicans.
Just say NO!.

Lets see if I have this right.
Housing sales are up.
Housing prices are up.
The Cash For Clunkers programs has been a rousing success in stimulating the economy. So much so that the gvt is contributing more money to it.
Unemployment fell by .10% since June. A small improvement but still vastly better than increasing again.
A new Supreme Court Justice has been confirmed.
Two American citizens were freed from North Korea by one of the most influential Democrats in history after less than 20 hours of talking (not even negotiating. North Korea came away with nothing from this but a few hours in the spotlight).
And a senior Taliban member is dead.
All since Obama took office. And yet somehow the Republicans still find fault with it.
What the hell? More fear and hate mongering by the Republicans. Yippeeee!!!!
It took Republicans 8 years to get us into this mess, and it took the Democrats 6 months to get us out. The Republicans actually want us to fail.
