What Lies Beneath
HHS buries report. Obama’s mining activity. Dick Morris meddles. Paying Wall Street back. Labaton’s post-NYT profits.
OFFICE POLITICS
The economic report released last week by Health and Human
Services, which indicated that President Barack Obama’s health
care “reform” law would actually increase the cost of health care
and impose higher costs on consumers, had been submitted to the
office of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius more
than a week before the Congressional votes on the bill, according
to career HHS sources, who added that Sebelius’s staff refused to
review the document before the vote was taken.
“The reason we were given was that they did not want to influence the vote,” says an HHS source. “Which is actually the point of having a review like this, you would think.”
The analysis, performed by Medicare’s Office of the Actuary, which in the past has been identified as a “nonpolitical” office, set off alarm bells when submitted. “We know a copy was sent to the White House via their legislative affairs staff,” says the HHS staffer, “and there were a number of meetings here almost right after the analysis was submitted to the secretary’s office. Everyone went into lockdown, and people here were too scared to go public with the report.”
In the end, the report was released several weeks after the vote — the review by the secretary’s office reportedly took less than three days — and bore a note that the analysis was not the official position of the Obama administration.
OBAMA’S MINES
The irony of President Barack Obama visiting
Beckley, West Virginia, Sunday to read a eulogy at the memorial
service for those who died in the Upper Big Branch Mine accident,
has not been lost on some White House aides. “If we had our way
we’d be mourning the mining industry, not miners,” says a White
House aide. “As an environmental issue, we want the majority of
these mining related industries just to go away.”
In fact, the White House and some Obama Administration staffers at the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency have been coordinating with left-wing environmental groups to launch protests in West Virginia over such techniques as “mountaintop removal mining.” This enabled the EPA to cite such protests as support for their new rulemaking. Earlier this month, the agency imposed rules sharply curtailing that form of strip mining in such states as West Virginia. The rules may end up costing several hundred West Virginians their jobs.
Now the Obama Administration is looking for ways to reward those groups they coordinated with. According to sources inside the EPA, the agency is attempting to find ways to get funding to several organizations it worked with on the mountaintop mining and other efforts, including Appalachian Voices and Coal River Mountain Watch. Meanwhile, the administration is attempting to identify ways to fund a much more influential “pass through” organization, the Appalachian Community Fund, an organization run out of Knoxville, Tennessee.
“Appalachian Community Fund is like the ACORN of West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee,” says a Commerce Department political employee. “If we can get it just a few hundred thousand dollars, it can organize for us down there in ways to help us politically, and it’s done great things for us with the EPA and other entities.”
MEAN MORRIS
Some California conservatives were scratching their heads over an
email being sent around by longtime Democrat and Clinton adviser
Dick Morris, telling California Republicans not
to support Senate candidate Tom Campbell, who
has been leading a number of different polls, and who has
declined to sign the Americans for Tax Reform pledge to not
support tax increases.
“Guess Campbell didn’t take any of Morris’s advice or a phone call,” joked one California political consultant. Morris has gained the reputation for using his emailed newsletter and Fox News appearances to criticize candidates he has attempted to rope into any number of entities he consults for, including the League of American Voters organization. In his email, Morris encouraged Republicans to support either Chuck Devore or Carly Fiorina. Of the latter two, Devore appears to be the one candidate showing momentum leading into June 8 primary.
PAYBACK BIG TIME
One of the reasons the Obama Administration has stepped up its
public criticism of Wall Street isn’t just its opposition to the
regulatory reform legislation on Capitol Hill, say New York-based
executives for such firms as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, and
Bank of America. It’s because the firms have largely been pushing
back against a number of requests from the White House in the
past several months.
According to these executives White House political advisers, such as Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod, have been calling senior management of those and other firms demanding that the banks step up hiring. “They don’t think we’re hiring enough of their people or people in general while we’re making profits,” says one executive with Bank of America. “And for several months now, they’ve been pushing us to do more to help them on the employment front.”
Jarrett and Axelrod’s requests have been met with little enthusiasm from B of A CEO Brian Moynihan, J.P. Morgan Chase CEO James Dimon, and Goldman Sachs Chairman Lloyd Blankfein, among others, say the executives, in part, because they don’t feel stepping up hiring and recruitment is wise. Other executives say that even as he has led the Capitol Hill lobbying effort for Wall Street regulation, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, has also been making calls to firm executives encouraging them to help the administration on its job creation and stimulus efforts.
REVOLVING TIMES
One hire that Goldman has made was former New York
Times reporter Stephen Labaton, who
covered economic issues and sometimes conservative politics for
the paper. Labaton, who is married to Miriam
Sapiro, a bundler for Obama’s presidential campaign and
now a senior official in Obama’s U.S. Trade Representative
office, took a buyout from the Times late last year and
immediately began offering his services to many of the companies
he previously had reported on, offering to assist them in gaining
access to his friends in the media. At least one company,
according to Labaton friends at the Times, took him up
on the offer, paying him more than $7,500 a month for his advice,
believing that his wife’s close ties from her fundraising days to
such Obama Administration officials as FCC Chairman
Julius Genachowski and Commodity Futures Trading
Commissioner Chairman Gary Gensler, and special
adviser on Afghanistan-Pakistan Richard
Holbrooke, might help them. Now Labaton is a full-time
consultant to the Wall Street firm on regulatory and legislative
issues. Who says journalism isn’t a profitable business any
more?

By the way, it's spelled "brouhaha."
Frankly, I'm rather appalled by both of your attitudes, though I have to say I appreciate the "funny beer" joke. Call it a pun of opportunity.
But, "Amen," a lost finger is not an excuse for misspelling anything. If you'd bother to re-read what you post, you would have caught it. Heck, you misspelled your own username. And all-caps speech just makes you look like a crazed maniac and doesn't help at all with expressing sarcasm.
Actually, scratch that. I'm appalled by the attitudes of nearly every commenter on here. You think you're right? You want to prove the current regime wrong and have someone believe you? Then quit with the schoolyard fingerpointing and insulting those who share your viewpoint, and get your act together and go fact-gathering. If you sound intelligent and organized, people may very well believe you, but if you keep up the attitude, they're just going to dismiss you as radicals who hate your country because you're against what the government is doing and racist because you don't like the President.
Get over the attitude and make a point, or shut up, because you're just aggravating the bad image.

JP| 4.26.10 @ 7:28AM
The reasons why Wall St isn't hiring isn't too hard to discern. First, a large amount of the profits have come via the Fed -that is, 0% interest on money borrowed from the Fed is being invested into very short term Treasury Notes, and not into mo productive (but also risky) commerical lending and equities. Congress is about to enact a huge new regulatory infrastructure that makes such commercial investing more expensive. It's all about risk. Right now, all of the available credit is being soaked up by our own federal government.
I think also, the people who run Wall St realize that sometine sooner rather than later, Bernecke will have to raise interest rates. And when that happens, even the less risky Treasury Notes will have a lesser payback -as it will become more expensive to borrow.
More regulations, higher interest rates -what isn't there to like? BTW, the increased revenuse that firms such as Cisco, Oracle, Siemens, IBM, and Intel have reported this quarter are due mainly to overseas operations. It appears East Asia, Asia, and Oceania are doing quite well despite anemic growth in North America and Europe. Asia is replacing North America and Europe (at least for now) as the world's growth engine
Howard| 4.26.10 @ 8:11AM
Excellent points. Also, in this uncertain environment; why hire? Not only does Obama appear to want European spending and taxation; he may also desire European "lifetime employment" practices.

Keith I| 4.26.10 @ 7:16PM
The "green companies" are like a plague of locusts. They strip a country bare of assets with the subsidies that are funded by the producing class, removing this capital from use by ecomomically viable industries. The viable industries starve and shed their workforce, further depleting the pool of available capitol but also cutting off the subsidies because the government revenues dry up. Once the subsidy goes away, the green locusts move on to the next producing crop and gorge themselves anew. After they have stripped the U.S. clean, I hope that they move to China. I feel confident that the Chicoms will have an appropriate response to them, hopefully beginning with an extended stay at the Re-education Camp of their choice.

The party of "Yes we can!" just keeps on trucking along. Everything for political expedience, even if they have to blow so much smoke up your behind you end up being admitted to ICU for colo-rectal cancer -- Just like this crowd caller at the county fair; "Hurray, hurray, hurray, step on up to be the first on your block to own a shiny new car that will solve your transportation needs for life! It has great mileage and is the greenest vehicle around! All you have to do is sign over your vote to me and the car will be yours!"
You sign, just to then find that the car for which you have just signed has a frame with square wheels, no engine, no windows, one seat, but it's nearly bare frame has two pedals connected to one axle and is painted chrome and has a Flex-Fuel sticker on its ergonomically unfriendly steering wheel.
The libs enjoy driving this new vehicle, just so they can gloat about their apparent success with the difficulty of getting it to move at all. Of course, when the machine finally falls apart because it's one of many that designed by lawyers, tested by blind men, was hand-machined by highly skilled druggies and alcoholics and overseen by porn-addicted bureaucrats they'll bitch and moan and say it was Bush's fault.

We don't need to do damage control, since we are not the ones who have done the damage.
It is the coal industry that has done the damage, and it is the duty of all Americans to make sure that coal mining is done responsibly.

Apparently you haven't heard. Dick Morris is a Republican and was even before he worked for Bill Clinton. According to his own words on a recent talk radio show (Hannity or Medved), he saw the light during the Reagan presidency. To quote wikipedia, "He worked as a Republican strategist before joining the Clinton administration, where he helped Clinton recover from the 1994 midterm elections by convincing the President to adopt Republican policies." See more on my blog at http://jif.me/vision
Please join me in looking to Dick Morris for one of the clearest visionaries in US politics and media today.

I just did some quick research on Tom Campbell. In 2002 (yes, just months after 9/11) he wrote a letter in defense of a clearcut Jihadist and Israel- hater named Al-Arian. Two reasons not to support Campbell: 1) This history alone has caused much complaint (http://jif.me/politico), and 2) What basic lapse of judgment caused him not to perform so obvious a check into Al-Arian's ties?

Update 4/27/2010 1:09pm CT - According to Bret Baier, the DHS is denying this Prowler report, but actually they are admitting they did have the data needed to calculate the budget overruns, well before the House vote. They are merely saying they had not calculated them all until April 22nd. One would hope Mr. Baier and his colleagues are not accepting that fig leavery out of hand. Now, wouldn't that be a nice way to cover up? "Oops! These numbers aren't in line with what we've told America! I've got an idea! Let's stop calculating them until it's over!"
Does someone need to tell Bret Baier that computers and spreadsheets make calculations very fast, in this day and age? Get real and get a little investigative, Fox News. Or are you going to let others do all your work and accept everything you hear from the White House? Even if this excuse is true (and come on, now) how irresponsible would it be, for the DHS to have this data and not to calculate it before the House vote? Good grief, Mr. Baier.
How long does it take to calculate? They certainly seem to be able to draft thousands of pages of legislation in a hurry.

INPEACH OBAMA THE COMMUNIST ,GOD OPEN YOUR EYES.///For us there are only two possiblities: either we remain american or we come under the thumb of the communist OBAMA. This latter must not occur; even if we are small, we are a force. A well-organized group can conquer a strong enemy. If you stick close together and keep bringing in new people, we will be victorious over the communist obama.======obama people have no idea of the extent to which they have to be gulled in order to be led."
"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of the nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell a big one."
"All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those towards whom it is directed will understand it. Therefore, the intellectual level of the propaganda must be lower the larger the number of people who are to be influenced by it."
"Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise."pelosi don't see much future for the Americans ... it's a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of ^%@##$@& ...obama feelings against Americanism are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance ... everything about the behaviour of American society reveals that it's half /"[-^%, and the other half ^%#@!. How can one expect a State like that to hold TOGTHER.They include the angry left wing bloggers who spread vicious lies and half-truths about their political adversaries... Those lies are then repeated by the duplicitous left wing media outlets who “discuss” the nonsense on air as if it has merit… The media's justification is apparently “because it's out there”, THE COMMANDER

POWER CORRUPTS; ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY
- Lord Acton (1834–1902)
The RAT board --- this is an appropriate acronym. The Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board --- a provision included in the stimulus bill, has the job to oversee in-house watchdogs, known as inspectors general. The inspectors general job is to INDEPENDENTLY investigate allegations of wrongdoing at various federal agencies, without fear of interference by the White House or political appointees. It seems the White House wants control of inspectors generals --- the RAT board gives the people getting investigated the power to tell the investigators/inspectors generals what to investigate --- in the name of accountability and transparency. Once again our tax dollars hard at work –-- if it isn't evident by now what the stimulus was intended to stimulate --- looking into gov. corruption may bring some light to the question.(1)

United Socialists States of America
We might as well admit the truth --- the road to recovery is Socialism (as usual --- in socialists ideals recovery actually means total destruction of capitalism) --- the socialists progressives and Marxists are determined to remake America. The latest attack to prosperity (except for the high and mighty elitists) is Obama's Nominee for Supreme Court Elena Kagan.(1). The socialists unrelenting power & control grab with healthscare reeks of socialist mandates, and enough people to carry out the corrupt plan to the letter, ---- as a socialistic government bureaucracy has doggedly consistently done; Obama nominee Donald Berwick as head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid will make Obama and his minions proud, based on reading some history of Berwick's views(2). Several articles mention Obama and former Weather Underground terrorist leader Bill Ayers; --- below lists only a few articles.(3)
Listed is just the most recent soicalists and/or marxists ---- typing corrupt people current administration in the search box will show many more questionable people responsible for the fragile future of America.

Tattoo kits can help you make the kind of money you always wanted as a tattoo artist. There are many different venues to make money doing tattoos, working for someone else, as well as doing them on your own. There are many different things that are involved with self employed artists, and it can be a struggle. There are many different legal, and health issues that you have to deal with, as well as the licensing, and insurance.

Did anyone ever reeeeally think that health care reform would maintain or lower health care costs in this country? Did anyone ever really need to see a report to understand that medical costs to anyone caught paying the bill, would skyrocket. (illegal aliens and the perennial poor exempted) Who hasn't seen what similar health care opportunities have done to break the bank and backs of taxpayers in Massachusetts, besides the fact that the health care microcosm called 'Medicare' was aleady bankrupt long ago. Who needed a report? You'd have to have been in a coma or on the Koolaide for the last 10 years, to even imagine that health care reform was going to be either cost effective or care effective. The real shame though, is that our nations leader's willingly hid what they knew to be true, and denied the obvious to the useful idiots at the voting box. They must think we're really stupid, but then, that might not be an unfair assessment.. we voted them into office didn't we?
