1. Obama campaign org politicizes 9/11 - calls protestors 'right-wing domestic terrorists'


President Obama's campaign organization, Organizing for America, goes way, way too far.

Team Obama wants to use 9/11 to push back against protesters, referred to as "Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists" by calling Senators in support of the Obamacare public government option.

Today, the Obama campaign folks sent out a notice to "grassroots" supporters about the planned 9/11″health care organizing event":

What day? Our US Senators return to DC the Tues after Labor Day. That next FRIDAY, Sep 11, is Patriot Day, designated in memory of the nearly three thousand who died in the 9/11 attacks.

All 50 States are coordinating in this - as we fight back against our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic Process, whipped to a frenzy by their Fox Propaganda Network ceaselessly re-seizing power for their treacherous leaders.

The offensive notice has been scrubbed from the Organizing for America website, but I was able to get the following screenshot . . .

2. Let's Party Like Teddy Kennedy Because He's Dead!


As Harry Reid continues his tour of self-destruction, he really shot himself in the foot today.

The Majority Leader of the United States Senate is in a celebratory mood because Ted Kennedy died.

Really.

3. HCAN organizer in impromptu astroturf seminar.


This got filmed yesterday, and shows an organizer for HCAN giving quick instructions on how to keep Rep. Jan Schakowsky's constituents from being heard when they raise concerns on the health care rationing bill.

4. Key Dem Senators Balk at Reconciliation Cram-Down for Health Reform


Reconciliation strategy for health care reform faces opposition from key Democratic Senators.

The great New York Times health care legislative strategy takes a lethal blow - again.

It seems pretty clear that Charlie Cook is doing everything he can to warn the Democrats not to do anything, uh "no-win."

Bloomberg reveals the extent of what is known about where key Democratic Senator's stand on using the Reconciliation process to do the health care cram-down . . .

5. Brooks Calls Senate Reconciliation Strategy on Health Reform Suicidal


The number of likely voters who approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President is at 45 percent. (Note: other pollsters poll "Adults" instead of likely voters. Polling adults inflates President Obama's approval rating.)

The President's continued pushing of a politically lethal health care plan is to blame. But the three horsemen of the Democratic Party's Apocalypse: Speaker Pelosi, Chairman Waxman and President Obama keep on riding the Death Horse.

As the Wall Street Journal put it today: "'What we're seeing now, both in terms of numbers and the feel out there, this is how big waves feel early on," said Charlie Cook, editor of the Cook Political Report."

6. Barack Obama Sneaks Through "Union Only" Order Shutting 8 in 10 Construction Workers Out of Federal Projects


There has not been a lot of coverage of this. It happened back in July and is only now winding its way through the federal system.

Barack Obama and his administration are about to significantly drive up the costs of federal building construction. This is an astonishing reach. The Office of Management and Budget has directed that any federal construction over $25 million benefit unions.

The order would make all federal construction projects 10-20% more expensive by requiring all contractors to either use union workers or apply inefficient union apprenticeship and work rules to their employees. Contractors would also be required to make contributions to union pension funds and other union programs that non-union workers will never benefit from.

This will hugely drive up the cost of construction of federal buildings and line the pockets of unions without even having union workers involved in the projects. The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that only 15.6% of private construction workers in America belong to unions. In other words, 8 out of 10 construction workers in America will be legally denied the right to work on federal building projects.

This is appalling.

Great news in the midst of a recession, right?
