I guess the Bamster isn’t quite on the same page as the rest of the choir, or even in the same church mosque.

Europe leans right as voters choose EU Parliament

BRUSSELS – Europe was leaning to the right Sunday as tens of millions of people voted in European Parliament elections, with conservative parties favored in many countries against a backdrop of economic crisis.

Opinion polling showed right-leaning governments with edges over their opposition in Germany, Italy, France, Belgium and elsewhere. Conservative opposition parties were tied or ahead in Britain, Spain and some smaller countries. [snip]

Paybacks really ARE a bitch.

Canada passes “Buy Canada” type resolution

Canadian mayors have passed a resolution that would potentially shut out U.S. bidders from local city contracts.

The resolution is in retaliation to “Buy American” provisions in President Barack Obama’s stimulus bill. Mayors voted 189-175 to approve the resolution at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference in Whistler, British Columbia. [snip]

You can bet the beautiful people will have their own plan and CONGRESS will be covered under another SPECIAL plan.

Kennedy bill would make employers provide care

Employers would be required to offer health care to employees or pay a penalty – and all Americans would be guaranteed health insurance – under a draft bill circulated Friday by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s health committee.

The bill would provide subsidies to help poor people pay for care, guarantee patients the right to select any doctor they want and require everyone to purchase insurance, with exceptions for those who can’t afford to.

Insurers would be supposed to offer a basic level of care and would be required to cover all comers, without turning people away because of pre-existing conditions or other reasons. Insurance companies’ profits would be limited, and private companies would have to compete with a new public “affordable access” plan that would for the first time offer government-sponsored health care to Americans not eligible for Medicare, Medicaid or other programs.[snip]

Nowhere is there any mention of how this will be paid for now or in the future EXCEPT ON THE TAXPAYERS BACK.

Small businesses will close up shop. Large ones may find it cheaper to pay the penalty. MA’s foray into this mess has turned into a nightmare of soaring costs. The answer to that is restricting services, letting people die because it’s too expensive to treat them.
LBJ made the same promises about Medicare; it’s bankrupt and bankrupting the country.

If it wasn’t for CLIMATE CHANGE, imagine what it would be like!

Obama wants to raise the price of oil and heating gas under Cap & Trade.
Just another tax scheme, businesses don’t pay taxes. Taxes are the cost of doing business and are PASSED through to the consumer as higher prices.
You’ve been listening to the Democrats too long.
