I log to Fox to check the news and see the headline "Time to Sell Healthcare" alongside a pic of Pelosi and the teaser line reading: 'House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sends Dem lawmakers memo saying they should convey the immediate benefits of health care to constituents while on recess'.

Now, didn't we just debate this for months on end, held town hall meetings, etc. for no reason at all? I mean the Dems had the majority from the get go and could have passed this thing months ago. Correct me if I am missing something here, but wasn't the time to sell healthcare BEFORE the bill was passed?

And then the story that goes with the headline is this one:*

*Democratic Senator: Health Care Law to Address 'Mal-Distribution of Income'*

My thinking is that is an interesting new term for socialism...what a slap in the face. As a poor person, I don't want a charitable contribution taken from the pockets of someone who possibly has worked harder in life than I have. You do that, and pretty soon everyone is poor and there is no longer anyone to start new businesses, boost the economy, etc.

And then there is this..
Despite GOP objections, Obama uses recess appointments to fill 15 posts without Senate confirmation,

Lovely...
