Hiding the Libya Lie

As Ann Althouse noted about the New York Times effort to keep the Libya lie hearings off the front page as it is a "politicized thing" is not particularly smart.  Here is here little bit:

Is the Libya scandal as big as Watergate? The substance of it may be much worse than Watergate, and the Obama administration seems not to have heeded the old Watergate lesson that it's the cover-up that gets you, but if Obama loses the election, that will limit the dimension of the scandal. If he wins the election — especially if it's very close or contested in some way — Republicans may work themselves into a frenzy going after Obama. Remember that Richard Nixon was reelected after the Watergate scandal broke. The break-in was 5 months before the election, and the first stories had come out. The next 2 years were hell for Nixon, and he was drummed out of office. And Nixon had won by a landslide.

Here is my problem, when Nixon resigned, we got Gerald Ford.  He may not have been a great President but was servicable, and was lampooned a clumsy of balance.  If Obama wins, and then is forced to resign, we get Joe Biden as President, a man who is clumsy of the mouth.

I would rather have a physically ungraceful Gerald Ford and than a ticking timebomb of lies and stupidity in Joe Biden.

What?

BRINGING NEW MEANING TO THE TERM “SILENT MAJORITY:” Robopoll Records Silence As Support For Obama….

Read it, seriously.  These are the kinds of tactics that you see in Third World dicatorships.

What is next, the failure or decision to vote is to be counted as a vote for Obama?

Remember When the President Said We Could Keep the Health Insurance We Have?

Yeah, well, in addition to unemployment problems (which impacts whether or not I can keep the coverage I had--which I can't since I lost my job), what the President didn't say was that his health care plan would drive up the cost of my health insurance.  Forbes magazine has some suggestions for dual income earners in particular to look at how to reduce as much as possible the cost of health insurance:  

Many families put everyone on one spouse’s plan for simplicity and don’t “shop” the other spouse’s plan, says Jeanne Wyand, a senior consultant with Towers Watson in Boston. That’s always been a mistake, but it will be even more so as employers respond to rising healthcare costs and Obamacare mandates by making changes like adding spousal surcharges and reducing subsidies for spouses and dependents. “What’s really driving this from the employer side is that the incremental costs that are being assessed onto their plans are starting to get unmanageable,” Wyand says.

Where do those "incremental costs" come from--yeah Affordable Care Act and piggy back state mandates.
