Politics: Urologist pissed about health care law, takes it out on patients

  • If you voted for Obama, seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years.
  • A sign outside the office of Florida Dr. Jack Cassell • Regarding the health care law and his frustrations with Obama. A patient happened to notice this friendly sign, and now Rep. Alan Grayson – that ultra-liberal guy who just happens to be Cassell’s congressman – plans to file a formal complaint with the Florida Department of Health and the Florida Medical Board. One other angle: Mount Dora, Florida, is very GOP-heavy, but Grayson says that the Democrats in the town are largely black. Grayson could’ve left that one alone. source

Politics: Obama’s still stumping for health care, this time in Maine

  • Every single day since I signed reform into law, there’s another poll or headline that says ‘Nation still divided on health reform! Polls haven’t changed yet!’ Well, yeah. It just happened last week. It’s only been a week!
  • President Barack Obama • Discussing the health care bill in Maine today. The president, whose political legacy rides on the success of the health care bill, got a tweak in at Sen. Olympia Snowe, saying she was a friend “and who spent many hours meeting with me about this bill.” But really, he main target was the media, which he hit with full force. “Can you imagine,” he said, “if some of these reporters were working on a farm, had planted some seeds and came out the next day and looked, ‘Nothing’s happened! There’s no crop! We’re going to starve! Oh no! It’s a disaster!’” Hey, that hurts, man! source

Politics: Eric Cantor’s attack on Democrats feels kinda tasteless

  • When Eric Cantor gets up in the morning, does he get out of a pod? Is he covered in slime? Because, seriously, he sounds very slimy in this clip, where he suggests Democrats are trying to leverage attacks on them for political gain. Mr. Cantor, where did anyone suggest that a GOP leader led to these attacks? The bullet that Cantor’s referring to, by the way, appears to be a stray bullet shot into the air, according to the Richmond, Va. police department. source

Great. source
