IT’S OFFICIAL, MSNBC DECLARES BILL CLINTON ‘PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD’
And they wonder why no one watches... Sad.
Amplify’d from www.theblaze.com
The special program will air Presidents’ Day at 10pm on MSNBC. For the record, Presidents’ Day is the third Monday in February, observed in the United States as a legal holiday in commemoration of the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. MSNBC has decided to mark President’s Day not with specials about George & Abe, but by airing a Chris Matthews special feature which all but canonizes William Jefferson Clinton (one of just two American Presidents to be impeached).
The one-hour documentary follows Clinton around the globe and highlights some of the good works done by the former President in the past year. But the release does seem to have small probelm with reality, especially when you consider this statement about Mr. Clinton;
In the last year alone, he’s provided invaluable political support to President Obama, hitting the campaign trail for countless Democratic candidates leading up to the November 2010 midterm elections.
November 2010 was not that long ago. Does anyone at MSNBC recall that the Midterm elections were a bloodbath for the Democrats? The President’s party lost more seats than any party has in 60 years. hardly what one would call “invaluable political support.”
“PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD: THE BILL CLINTON PHENOMENON” airs on MSNBC at 10pm Monday, February 21, 2011

Government Florida Federal Judge Rules ‘Entire’ Health Care Law Unconstitutional
A federal judge in Florida has ruled that the president’s health care overhaul, “Obamacare,” is unconstitutional. The judge based his ruling on the unconstitutionality of the law’s individual mandate. The ruling affects the 26 states who had joined together to file a case against the law, but also has implications for the entire country.
U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson ruled Congress overstepped its bounds by instituting the individual mandate, but also said the entire law was unconstitutional since the individual mandate is not “severable,” Fox News reports. Vinson did not go as far as to issue an injunction blocking the law from being implemented.
“I must reluctantly conclude that Congress exceeded the bounds of its authority in passing the Act with the individual mandate. That is not to say, of course, that Congress is without power to address the problems and inequities in our health care system. The health care market is more than one sixth of the national economy, and without doubt Congress has the power to reform and
regulate this market. That has not been disputed in this case. The principal dispute has been about how Congress chose to exercise that power here,” Vinson wrote.
“Because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire act must be declared void,” he added.
Last month, a federal judge in Virginia also ruled that the individual insurance mandate of the Obamacare was unconstitutional. That judge, however, did not go as far as to say the entire law would be unconstitutional.
The ruling is just one more example of why the law is unpopular, and why it faces an uphill battle before being fully implemented in 2014. Still, despite the ruling in Virginia, the president doubled-down on his support of the bill last week, defiantly brushing aside those who question the overhaul.

Can I Bring My Winter Coat To The Re-"Education" Camp?

President Obama’s top science adviser said there’s a need to “educate” GOP climate change skeptics on Capitol Hill as the White House seeks to advance its green energy agenda.
“It is an education problem. I think we have to educate them,” said John Holdren, who heads the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, in an interview broadcast Sunday.
Obama, in his State of the Union speech last week, called for deriving 80 percent of U.S. power from “clean” sources by 2035, and funding increased R&D of green electricity and fuels by repealing billions of dollars in oil industry tax breaks.
