NYT SATURDAY: White House officials are searching for ways for Obama to ‘use executive powers to advance energy, environmental and other policy priorities’… Developing…
Found it. But there’s no link yet, on Drudge.
Uh oh. Here we go.
Any president has vast authority to influence policy even without legislation, through executive orders, agency rule-making and administrative fiat.
As someone says, read the whole thing …
Cities want them counted and included based on their original home residency.
Not where they are residing now. For years.
Remember NIMBY? Not in my back yard? Apparently the cities want to forget that approach as it pertains to census figures and redistricting. Just never mind where those prisons actually are.
How (in)convenient. And guess who made this subtle change?
Powerful and Coherent – Light. History in the making.
Could mean more jobs in development and manufacture.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, no. Not anymore.
The President spins this like no tomorrow. Honesty appears to be out the window.
From the post:
A filibuster is the successful use of 41 or more votes to prevent the closing of debate. There wasn’t a single filibuster in 2009. Not one.
Fifty-three cents on the dollar? More than half?
Well, here’s the article and Poll that says so.
Now, keep this in mind when realizing how much the government has recently been spending and raising our debt limit …

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is rewriting a jobs bill after Democrats complained of too many concessions to Republicans.
[Well now, don’t just just beat all? Now what do you suppose will be Obama’s reaction to this?]
Is that all? Well, the article leads by saying those three are all Republicans. While I can’t say that lends credence to the gist of the article completely, it does tell me that the folks deciding to leave probably feel they want to get out on their own decision rather than losing at the ballot box. From an earlier read I had (Dick Morris, if I am not mistaken) the point was made that losing at the ballot box meant such a person would not likely be able to be called upon as a paid consultant/lobbyist. Hhhmm. Maybe.
A trio of House Republican retirement announcements over the past 10 days have sparked a debate between the leaders of the two major parties over whether the GOP is losing momentum in its quest to score major gains at the ballot box this fall.

UPDATE: There is another article concerning House retirements, but this one includes a list of upcoming districts (by state) of various concerns. Maybe not quite up to date, but close.
Winkin’, Blinkin’ and Nod.
The Senate confirmed a huge group (27) of administration nominees on Thursday, following a tense exchange between President Barack Obama and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Still more Appointments to be made.
President Obama fooled middle-class voters into supporting him in 2008 with this pledge. Didn’t he? He said this during his 2008 campaign:
“No family making less than $250,000 will see any form of tax increase. … not any of your taxes.”
And now, he says he is an “agnostic” about that. Can you believe that?
Why can’t we have an honest President? Eh?
Don’t miss this opportunity, GOP.
It is equally important to the public at large that you be seen fighting for us. As opposed to just turning your backs on this Summit meeting.
If you don’t, this could likely backfire and lend more fuel to the Administration’s rhetoric in the MSM.
We, the country and Constitution, cannot afford that. Help us, by showing up and doing your job by fighting for us.
Please and Thank You.
UPDATE:
Thank you, House Republican Whip Eric Cantor.
UPDATEx2: According to Speaker Pelosi, this event is a trick and the Dems will use reconciliation to force the existing bill through. Pay attention folks.
UPDATEx3: Rasmussen has the figures for how many of us would prefer that Congress start all over again to reform healthcare
UPDATEx4: Dick Morris has a very good article on how the Republicans should address this. I like it.
UPDATEx5: The invites are out.
