		<description>&lt;I&gt;It was the insurance companies that wanted the mandate. &lt;/I&gt;

Considering what CrapCare was going to do to the insurance companies, I would say they had a RIGHT to the mandate...

		<description>The ruling against Obamacare is definitely unhatched.  It was the insurance companies that wanted the mandate.  They had big money on the line, and they can count SCOTUS votes as well as we can.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Michale:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;It&#039;s because the mandate is inseparable from the legislation..

The entire backbone of the legislation relies on the mandate to function...&lt;/i&gt;
 
&lt;i&gt;Without the mandate, you don&#039;t have the Insurance Companies on board..&lt;/i&gt;

Completely right on both counts. The only reason we even &lt;i&gt;have&lt;/i&gt; a &quot;mandate&quot; is because the insurance lobbyist insisted that O institute it and drop the public option. And this is the guy who was gonna &quot;change the way we do business in Washington&quot; and &quot;not give in to the same old special interest groups,&quot; huh? Tell me another, O. 

&lt;i&gt;Obama&#039;s Babylon 5 will become the useless hulk of the USS Constellation that was fed to the nuetronium carrot...&lt;/i&gt;

ROFLMAO! You&#039;re too much, Michale. &lt;3</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I&#039;ll dig it out if you want me to, but just look for the original text of the tweet -- it&#039;s right there, he says he&#039;s quoting the guy in the tweet itself.&lt;/I&gt;

I wouldn&#039;t think it would matter..

Any more than it would matter to the Left if Romney&#039;s Campaign Manager said he was just quoting some sportscaster on ESPN about the &quot;watermelon and fried chicken&quot; crack...

I mean, consider it:

&lt;B&gt;&quot;What was it that the ESPN Sportscaster said about Fried Chicken and Watermelon??  I guess that&#039;s the menu at the White House now.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Romney Campaign Manager

Wouldn&#039;t the Left be all over that like stink on rice, screaming &quot;RACIST BASTARD!!!&quot; (Thanx, David... :D  I still get a laugh out of that!!  :D) to the high heavens..???

I think they would and I sure you do to... :D

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Funny, I don&#039;t remember Supreme Court Justice Michale being sworn in... just as a thought experiment, what would you say if SCOTUS rules the ACA fully constitutional? &lt;/I&gt;

If that happens, I would have no choice but to acknowledge that I have been sucked into the Mirror Universe where it&#039;s always Opposite Day...  :D

&lt;I&gt;And you&#039;re mixing metaphors, my pointy-eared friend. I don&#039;t recall the USS Constellation ever appearing in Babylon 5... unless that&#039;s where it went after being sucked in to the planet-killing cornucopia... heh.&lt;/I&gt;

I am indeed...

I was referring to Obama&#039;s Babylon 5 as being &quot;the last, best hope&quot; for his presidency...

But, it will likely be as dead as the USS Constellation before it was sucked into the neutronium carrot... :D

Dare I say it??   CrapCare is a Dunsel.....   :D  It serves no useful purpose...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;It&#039;s so easy to just come up with something -- anything -- to offer as reason to kill it. He can hold up the polls that show the majority of Americans who don&#039;t want the mandate, and generously decided to kill it and ask congress to construct a Plan-B&lt;/I&gt;

There is one reason why Obama can&#039;t do that....  And it&#039;s the same reason why I think Obama will lose BIG over at the SCOTUS..

It&#039;s because the mandate is inseparable from the legislation..

The entire backbone of the legislation relies on the mandate to function...

The mandate give the Insurance companies reason to cover pre-existing conditions and all the other &#039;+&#039;s that Obama touts about CrapCare..

W/o the mandate, Insurance Companies are basically going to say, &quot;frak this&quot; and not do diddly squat....

Without the mandate, you don&#039;t have the Insurance Companies on board..

Without the Insurance Companies on board, CrapCare becomes an albatross around the neck of this country&#039;s economy rather than the savior of it..

Obama can&#039;t drop the mandate without killing CrapCare...

The SCOTUS will do it for him...

Obama&#039;s Babylon 5 will become the useless hulk of the USS Constellation that was fed to the nuetronium carrot...   

If ya&#039;all don&#039;t recognize the references, ya&#039;all have been out of your mother&#039;s basements too long..  :D

		<description>&lt;I&gt;He was actually quoting an article in the Washington Post who was paraphrasing something John McCain said...&lt;/I&gt;

Never mind, found it..

It&#039;s a weak connection.  McCain was talking about the chimichanga in relation to his home state of Arizona, not in relation to Hispanics...

No matter how you slice it, Messina&#039;s tweet was racist.. 

Imagine the outcry from the Left if Romney&#039;s campaign manager tweet&#039;ed something along the lines of &lt;B&gt;&quot;Looks like the menu @ the White House is fried chicken and watermelon&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

The Left would go absolutely bat-shit over that...

I&#039;m just sayin&#039;....

Got a cite??

I would be very interested in the context, but it WAS said in a tweet by a twit :D so I don&#039;t know how Messina could have included the context...

Regardless, on the face of it, it looks pretty bad for Messina...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;And you guys seem to be counting chickens pre-hatch on the Supremes. You never know what that bunch will do, I hasten to remind you. &lt;/I&gt;

Like you, I don&#039;t see how the SCOTUS can come to any other conclusion other than that the mandate is unconstitutional..

Really the ONLY question, the only drama, is going to be whether or not Obama loses or loses REALLY big..

Obama will lose if the mandate is ruled unconstitutional but the SCOTUS says that it can be separated from CrapCare...

Obama will lose REALLY big if the SCOTUS rules that the mandate is unconstitutional but cannot be separated from CrapCare, hence CrapCare must die..

What an election year present that will be for the GOP, eh??

You sure are right about that. I&#039;m having a hard time imagining Kennedy swinging over in the direction of a King George-style &quot;mandate,&quot; though. I don&#039;t think he wants to find himself wearing a mandatory hat someday because Czarina Sebilius has ordered him to. LOL. Sorry, but I&#039;m not seeing it.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Michale:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;CW had it right a while back.. If Obama had dropped the mandate himself, he might not be looking at the impending huge black eye, courtesy of the SCOTUS....&lt;/i&gt;

I can&#039;t even begin to tell you how many times I&#039;ve raised that same point at the HuffPo. O has passed up so many golden opportunities to just kill that sucker and spare himself the humiliation of having his &quot;constitutional law instructor&quot; credentials rendered a running late-night TV joke. This is the man&#039;s &quot;flagship legislation,&quot; mind you. How bad is THAT gonna look? Exactly how much fodder does he want to hand to the Right and their Super PACs? It&#039;s so easy to just come up with something -- anything -- to offer as reason to kill it. He can hold up the polls that show the majority of Americans who don&#039;t want the mandate, and generously decided to kill it and ask congress to construct a Plan-B.

O should pray that the Supremes end up handing something back to the lower court, for some reason or another, which will at least delay things until after the election. Because I sincerely don&#039;t see how this can possibly be ruled constitutional by the USSC. I just don&#039;t get whatever was in Pelosi/Reid/O&#039;s heads when they decided to actually go through with this &quot;mandate.&quot;</description>

No, that&#039;s not it...

		<description>Meanwhile, back on the campaign trail...

When a sportscaster says that the menu at a Golfer&#039;s picnic will be watermelon and fried chicken because of Tiger Woods, that&#039;s racist...

But when the Obama campaign manager says that all the GOP can offer Latino&#039;s is a &quot;chimichanga&quot;, that is NOT racist...

Do I have my racist stereotypes correct???

		<description>I never thought that CrapCare would pass Constitutional Muster....

I didn&#039;t expect, though, that the Obama Administration would join in sounding the death knell...

CW had it right a while back..  If Obama had dropped the mandate himself, he might not be looking at the impending huge black eye, courtesy of the SCOTUS....

		<description>If I might join Michale in going off on a slight tangent, it would appear that O&#039;s &quot;mandate&quot; is already halfway down the crapper before it&#039;s even hit the USSC: http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/omb-director-undercuts-legal-case-obamacare/376561

What the article neglects to mention is that if the failure to purchase a &quot;mandated&quot; policy &lt;i&gt;doesn&#039;t&lt;/i&gt; constitute a tax, that makes it a punishment. And the administration purposely didn&#039;t want to position it as a punishment, for &lt;i&gt;constitutional&lt;/i&gt; reasons, because that would only serve to weaken their case.</description>

		<description>Going off on a slight tangent..

I would like to nominate the Iranian agent in Thailand for the prestigious DARWIN AWARD.

As many of you know, the DARWIN is awarded to people who have done the world a great favor by taking themselves OUT of the gene pool...

What did the Iranian agent do to earn the nomination??

Seems after being spotting planting a bomb on an Israeli&#039;s diplomat&#039;s wife&#039;s vehicle (three possessives!  A new record!! :D), the would-be bomber threw a grenade at approaching police...

The agent&#039;s aim was a tad off...

The grenade hit a tree, bounced BACK towards the agent and detonated, blowing off both his legs...

While this didn&#039;t kill the Iranian agent, we can safely assume that any ..er.. equipment necessary for reproduction was lost in the blast.

I can mentally picture the guy&#039;s expression when he saw that grenade flying BACK at him...

:D

Back to our regularly scheduled political mayhem...  :D

		<description>&lt;I&gt;(and let me just say, Whitney Houston showed a WHOLE LOT of singers how to perform the National Anthem a few years back),&lt;/I&gt;

When yer right, yer right...  I have been checking out a lot of her videos the last couple days.  And her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner was flawless...  

The wife and I even sat down the other night and watched THE BODYGUARD. Unlike many, I am quite the Costner fan as well.  I even loved THE POSTMAN   :D

		<description>OK, everyone --

Just answered everyone&#039;s comments from about the past week, except for the usual Friday free-for-all, which I skipped for now (and let me just say, Whitney Houston showed a WHOLE LOT of singers how to perform the National Anthem a few years back), so click back to see my comments.  I apologize again for being remiss in this area, but the work on the book continues, and there are only so many hours in the day...
