It is clear that Obama is, fundamentally, Bush's 3rd term. First we have the health care debacle, where it has been confirmed that the White House pushed Harry Reid to accept Lieberman's ultimatum, not go to reconciliation. There will be no ...

The ObamaCare bill has a small tax hidden away in it. A simple one: 5% tax on all elective cosmetic surgery. Of course, the definition is vague, but that's really not the point.
