From the LA Times:

'Reporting from Washington — President Obama suggested at a town hall
event Wednesday night that one way to shave medical costs is to stop
expensive and ultimately futile procedures performed on people who are
about to die and don't stand to gain from the extra care.'

'In a nationally televised event at the White House, Obama said
families need better information so they don't unthinkingly approve
"additional tests or additional drugs that the evidence shows is not
necessarily going to improve care."'

'He added: "Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking
the painkiller."'

There's an interesting contradiction here. According to the pro-choice
perspective, it's outrageous for the state to interfere in a woman's
decision to terminate a pregnancy. But it's pragmatic and reasonable
for the state to consider terminating a person, if some money can be
saved.

perhaps pelosi was telling the truth, will the conservatives and
republicans apologize?i doubt it:House Intelligence Committee said the
head of the CIA admitted the agency misled Congress since 2001 about
significant actions

CIA Admits It Misled Congress in Past, Lawmakers Say (Update1)



By James Rowley

July 8 (Bloomberg) -- Six Democrats on the U.S. House Intelligence
Committee said the head of the CIA admitted the agency misled Congress
since 2001 about “significant actions.”
In a letter to CIA Director Leon Panetta, the six members said he had
“recently” testified that “top CIA officials have concealed
significant actions from all members of Congress” and “misled members”
from 2001 until this week.
The letter, released today, didn’t describe what CIA actions were at
issue. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Republicans have been
feuding over her claim that the CIA misled Congress in 2002 about
harsh interrogations of suspected terrorists.
The letter called on Panetta to “publicly correct” his May 15
statement that “it is not our policy or practice to mislead Congress.”
Separately, the House committee’s chairman, Democrat Silvestre Reyes
of Texas, said in a statement tonight that “in rare instances’’ CIA
officers “have not adhered to the high standards’’ that the agency
sets for “truthfulness in reporting’’ to Congress.
Praise for Panetta
Reyes, who wasn’t among the six lawmakers who signed the letter to
Panetta, praised the CIA chief’s “recent efforts to bring issues to
the committee’s attention’’ that “had not been previously conveyed’’
to it.
Reyes was blunter in a July 7 letter to the panel’s top Republican,
saying that the CIA had lied to the committee at least once.
Information Panetta gave the panel June 24 “brought to light
significant information on the inadequacy of reporting to the
committee,’’ Reyes wrote to Representative Pete Hoekstra of Michigan.
The information provided by Panetta “led me to conclude that this
committee has been misled, has not been provided full and complete
notification and (in at least once case) was affirmatively lied to,’’
Reyes said in a letter, first reported by Congressional Quarterly.
The disclosures came on the eve of a scheduled House debate on an
intelligence spending measure. It would expand the number of lawmakers
who must be notified of covert intelligence operations from eight
congressional leaders to more than 35 members of House and Senate
intelligence panels.
Pelosi’s Charge
In May, Pelosi charged that when she was a member of the House
intelligence panel, the spy agency gave her misleading and inaccurate
information whether it had waterboarded suspected terrorists. The CIA
has acknowledged that it used the interrogation technique on three
detainees suspected of being al-Qaeda operatives to simulate the
sensation of drowning.
House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio has challenged Pelosi to
either produce evidence to support her claim or retract her assertion
that the CIA “misrepresented every step of the way” its use of harsh
interrogation techniques on suspected terrorists.
The lawmakers’ letter said Panetta’s recent testimony disclosed
concealment by the CIA that is “similar to other deceptions of which
we are aware from other recent periods.” The intelligence committee
regularly receives private briefings from U.S. officials.
CIA spokesman George Little said in a statement that Panetta “stands
by his May 15 statement” because “it is not the policy or practice of
the CIA to mislead Congress” and that “Director Panetta’s actions back
that up.”
The agency went to the panel with the new information, the agency’s
statement said.
“As the letter from these six representatives notes, it was the CIA
that took the initiative to notify the oversight committees,” Little
said.
The letter was signed by Democrats Anna Eshoo of California, John
Tierney of Massachusetts, Rush Holt of New Jersey, Mike Thompson of
California, Alcee Hastings of Florida and Jan Schakowsky of Illinois.

it appears that the days of simpletons making mountains out of
molehills is over.

You betcha palinolls show Democrats and Independents are as unhappy
with her as they were before, with 75% of Democrats and 55% of
independents preferring she leave the national stage altogether

Sarah Palin: Out, but not down
WedÂ*JulÂ*8, 7:05Â*pmÂ*ET
You betcha Sarah Palin is still a viable presidential candidate! Even
though the governor of Alaska dropped the bombshell last week that she
was leaving her post, a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds that her
support among Republicans is still strong. In fact, her resignation
seems to have even slightly boosted her among GOP constituents.
According to the nationwide poll, close to 67% of Republicans want
Palin to be "a major national political figure" in the future. And 71%
of them say they would likely vote for her if she ran for president in
2012.

Top Republican consultant Mary Matalin called Palin's move
"brilliant," and conservative talk-show host Bill Bennett went on CNN
to discuss the surprisingly high number of viewers who called into his
show in support of Palin's decision.
"To political pros [Palin's resignation] may be a problem. To the
base, I'm not sure it's a problem at all," Bennett told CNN.

And
Bennett may be exactly right. Just as Republicans as a whole are
unfazed by Palin's move, the poll shows Democrats and Independents are
as unhappy with her as they were before, with 75% of Democrats and 55%
of independents preferring she leave the national stage altogether.
According to USA TODAY, public opinion of Palin has become so
polarized that her surprise announcement did little to change anyone's
feelings: Seven out of 10 people say their views weren’t affected at
all.
GOP consultant Alex Castellanos seconded Bennett's sentiment. He told
USA TODAY:

"For Independents and Democrats, she's already not their candidate,
and with Republicans her support is not based on her record as
governor of Alaska."
But what would bring about such stark polarization between the
parties?

Some would argue that it was Palin's in-your-face attitude
and all-too publicized blunders that ultimately posited her as an
inexperienced and unviable candidate. But Palin, in her resignation
speech, blamed the media, calling its coverage of her a "superficial,
wasteful, political bloodsport."

And Republicans echo Palin's
complaints of media mistreatment. According to the poll, 75% of the
GOP believes coverage of Palin has been unfairly negative.

Dana
Oshiro of ReadWriteWeb.com opines that the Web is also to blame. "It’s
the Internet that ignited the tournament of torment," she writes. From
viral videos of "Palin drag shows" to ubiquitous photos of Palin
Halloween costumes, the ex-governor became the "Internet's comic
relief in an environment that might have otherwise been staunch."
Whether Palin has been unfairly portrayed in the media continues to be
a hotly debated issue. But one thing seems to be certain: She has
established herself as an American media fixture, loved and loathed by
either side of the aisle.

One more two faced Democrat quack, Quack. QUACK !
Liberal-Fascist suffering from "Palin Derangement
Syndrome" [PDS].
