This afternoon the action finally begins in the House and if things go according to the predictions of the White House and the wishes of the Democrats, it could be that America might end before Easter with a Health Reform bill. Read the rest of this entry »

Are we more clear about health reform today?
No, I did not watch President Obama’s speech last night. It was 2 am where I live! But today I have read lots of articles about it in American and European papers plus lots of blogs. Quite interesting as while in the blogs one can see which side the writer is from, in the papers there is not great criticism of the president. Which does not mean everybody though he was great or 100 percent right. Read the rest of this entry »

Wake up, Democrats!
Reading Maureen Dowd’s article published on April 16th, 2008 in the New York Times was like a strange experience. Since the elections’ campaign began to heat up she had been so vituperative whenever she wrote about Hillary Clinton and so praiseful about Barack Obama that this last article sounded as if it had been written on April 1st. Could she have written “The last few weeks have not been kind to Hillary, but the endless endgame has not been kind to the Wonder Boy either” and “Behind closed doors in San Francisco, elitism’s epicenter, Barack Obama showed his elitism, attributing the emotional, spiritual and cultural values of working-class, “lunch pail” Pennsylvanians to economic woes.” Read the rest of this entry »
