Obama - The Second Four Years

[spurgistan]

I think that he fixes everything that anybody thinks is wrong with America.

3. Obama healthcare advisor and Pranic Healing advocate Joie Jones (whose own research was so outlandish that even CACM wouldn't fund it - he had to get a "research grant" from the Pranic Healing cult) also supports the so-called goals of rational, scientific inquiry of the Democrat Party. Here's "Grand Master" Steve Co - the head of the Pranic Healing cult - teaching a new group of pranic "doctors." For just $299 (lunch included) you can go to an 8-hour seminar at the Holiday Inn to learn how to cure cancer by waving your hands over someone. Have cancer of the tits? Under Obamacare, you can now go to this guy to get it cured. (seriously)

Acupuncture was once viewed with similar mindset. Going to a chiropractor was once something that insurance companies wouldn't fund, viewed very similarly.

Hate to break it to you, but acupuncture, homeopathy and chiropractry are still junk science disputed by mainstream medicine. They've just been regulated and professionalized to the point that most people don't consider them dangerous junk. And, at least in the case of chiropractry, their witchdoctors have started to drop some of their most outlandishly pseudoscientific claims - see ...

The chiropractic vertebral subluxation complex is an historical concept but it remains a theoretical model. It is not supported by any clinical research evidence that would allow claims to be made that it is the cause of disease.

"Unlimited Corporate Donations"

President Barack Obama will accept unlimited corporate donations for his Inauguration in January, reversing his position from his first Inauguration, according to two sources close to the planning. “Shocked,” wrote one Democratic lobbyist in an email about the flip-flop on corporate donations.

Scientists have named two new species of animals after Barack Obama.

If this were the DPRK and two new species of animals were named after Kim Jong-un, there would be much chortling and hee-hawing in the western press and crocodile-tearing at the poor, brainwashed DPRK people enduring under a self-obsessed ruler and his personality cult.

pot, kettle, etc.

In the DPRK the government would have had to order it.

The White House rejected a bill proposed by John Boehner that would remove the Bush tax cuts on those making over $1 million, but would keep tax cuts for those making under $1 million. This was a plan originally proposed by Nancy Pelosi in the last Obama administration.

I read the article twice and I'm still not sure I understand what the Democrats' beef is. This seems like a good plan to me. It effectively raises taxes on the Warren Buffet's of the world (at least those that earn ordinary income) and doesn't overly burden the "working rich." Apparently they are trying to get to a middle ground of $400,000 to $500,000.
