Ugh!

So Republican Congressman Jim DeMint from South Carolina said this in a conference call with 104 people from the group “Conservatives for Patient’s rights .”

this health care issue Is D-Day for freedom in America. If we’re able to stop Obama on this it will be his Waterloo. It will break him,” he said.

The group and others like it are attempting to stall debate and congressional voting on health care reform until after the August recess when the will on Congressional representatives is likely to be shaken by conflicting voices from constituents.
Obama responded as follows:

This isn’t about me. This isn’t about politics. This about a health care system that is breaking America’s families, breaking America’s businesses and breaking America’s economy. And we can’t afford the politics of delay and defeat when it comes to health care. Not this time, not now. There are too many lives and livelihoods at stake.

I am with the President on this. Every day we fail to act more of the uninsured or under-insured suffer without care or go into debt paying for it. Every day more is wasted on unnecessary tests and procedures. Every day insurance companies fatten themselves off of our illness. And it is insurance companies that ration health care.
We should not stall action on this. Republicans, Democrats and those representing any other party should get around the table, negotiate and get to work.

A Good Article on Liz Cheney and Her Criticism of Obama on Foreign Policy

Well this is comforting.  In my RSS feed from The Guardian I found this article by Matthew Harwood analyzing another article by Liz Cheney, daughter of the former Vice-President, criticizing recent speeches made by President Obama on US relations with the rest of the world.  Apparently Cheney has declared herself open to running for political office and it appears her philosophies are very close to those of her father.
So to the extent that familiarity is comforting and better the devil you know than the devil you don’t, we’ll have the possibility of a continuing dynasty including both the Bush girls AND the Cheneys!  Well, at least it will be progress in that the heirs to the dynasty will be women.
Cheney sees the view in simple us v. them terms, just like her father.  Harwood explains,

Her argument is as simplistic as it is ridiculous: Obama doesn’t spread the myth of American exceptionalism and thus engages in historical revisionism, which emboldens our enemies and hurts America. A high-level official in the Bush state department and a ferocious defender of her father’s legacy, Cheney sees Obama’s recent speeches in Trinidad and Tobago, Cairo and Moscow as either “an attempt to push ‘reset’ – or maybe to curry favour” with our enemies.

Because Obama hasn’t defended the standard tropes of the US cold war mythology in his own speeches or rebutted foreign leaders’ less forgiving take on US foreign policy.
According to Cheney, Obama should tell our adversaries:
“America was an unmatched force for good in the world during the cold war. The Soviets were not. The cold war ended not because the Soviets decided it should but because they were no match for the forces of freedom and the commitment of free nations to defend liberty and defeat communism.”

I won’t go on.  Harwood’s article is the thing to read.  It’s good.
